    Adding grains post boil?

    One reason wort is brought to a boil is to kill off any bacteria. Adding grain post boil will most likely cause infection problems. Also grain needs to be mashed in order to really get sugars out if it. At room temp adding grain won't give you the right idea of the flavour anyway. Don't do...

    Video Games

    I've really enjoyed the storyline in the series despite the ending of the third. The story and choices you get make along the way add to the experience. The multiplayer alone is worth it. A lot of different characters and classes, and each have different abilities that you can spec. I have a...

    To go all grain, or not?

    +1 Agree - you could start with BIAB on the cheap. Probably not free unless you rip your voile curtains down. Don't do that :) For what it's worth, BIAB is All Grain! BIAB vs traditional 3 tier set-up do have differences, but no one is by default a better system. Like others have...

    Brewing in 9 degree weather leads to this

    9 degrees isn't really extreme :) 2 weeks ago i brewed at -25C (-13F). (Mash indoors though) Don some warm clothes, spare propane tank in case it freezes up, and throw snowballs at the kids outside during the boil. It's not too bad :)

    My dog always puts on the wierdest shiz

    I was dropping my dog off at the kennel. I got out of the car to sign him in before I brought him out. I guess he didn't want to stay there cause every time I got to the front of the car, he would jump onto the drivers seat and hit the horn! Happened a couple of times! :) Nearly fell the 1st...

    f-ing twist offs!

    Haha yeah could be! With the bench capper and twistie bottle, give her a good firm effort. Tip a bottle every once in a while to spot check. The upside is most of them twist off when you are ready to serve (though some are on too tight to twist off) This does not work with a wing capper -...

    f-ing twist offs!

    The bench capper should work to cap the twisties. I've been doing it for quite a while. They just go on a bit tougher. It's a heck of a lot easier collecting bottles when you don't have to watch for the twist vs crown.

    screw cap bottles

    I've got a bench capper and have not had any problems with twist bottles. I've bottled with mostly twists for a few years.
