Well, gave it another go, this time following your advice, with some success. While I don't have parchment paper, I put extra flour and some corn meal on the peel, less stickage, and I scored the bread a couple of times. Pre-heated the oven to 550, turned it down to 400°F for 30 minutes...

This is my next beer, and I've been looking forward to finishing this so I can move onto it! Cheers! Homebrew Citra IPA to start the night.

That is awesome! Bring over a high life and let the stories ensue! (of course, pack a two-hearted in case he curls his nose up at the HL)! All-Day is basically my desert island beer, anyone that drinks more than one is awesome in my book.

I flour'ed the peel but it still stuck to it a bit, I've seen the debate back and forth, might have to try that :) I did not slash the loaf, though I think I might have to get one of those lames, or will a sharpened knife or razor blade work just as well? I also might have cut the baking...

Ok, my second attempt this week (I've made terrible bread off & on for years), and finally the first loaf of bread I've made that doesn't resemble or taste like a loaf of wonderbread... and it is mocking me. Seriously, does that not look like an ass crack? Anyhow, I've been proofing my bread...

It can be a pain, but why not remove the fluid lines off the kegs and just leave them hooked up to CO2? This option is free, granted that you don't have a dozen different beers you're drinking at any one time. Oh, and maybe get something off McMaster or at the hardware store to lock your keezer.

Not sure where you read twice as long, it takes me a 90 minute mash (60 minutes is normal) and 60 minute boil. Takes me about 15 minutes to haul everything from the garage to out back. Between the mash and boil probably 10-15 minutes getting to temp and cleaning the Tun. After the boil I'll...

FWIW, there already seems to be a debate... It's kind of like a guy in the machine shop here at work that leads off nearly every sentence, "Nothing personal, but...". By that point it's become personal! So Ben & Cheesy, debate on! But please, in the science of it, provide pictures of some...

... Double post ...

Is this what you mean? It seems like this guys buddy just dumped two cans into the fermenter, added water, yeast and dry-hops... no boil beer?

Surprised noone has posted pictures :) Anyhow, I'll kick it off with one of the two burgers I made over the weekend. Took one pound of 93% grass-fed and pureed 7 chipotle peppers and mixed 3 massive cloves of finely chopped garlic. Topped with bacon, freshly grated monterey jack, cilantro, and...

Dad needs to shave because it's not really helping matters much...

Ok, now I'm trolling, but I thought it was already established that this was ;)

Weird question, but why are you fermenting in the bathroom? All kidding aside, no idea, I think as long as it's not uv / natural light you'll be ok.

^^^ This! I bought a 15 cu. Ft. Frigidaire for $380, and I couldn't be happier! Can fit four 6 gal buckets (for fermentation) or 8 corny kegs. And as opiate said, you can child crash and reach 32°F a lot easier with a freezer, and get a lot more space too.

I'm only about 2 to 2-1/2 hours away, i'll bring the keg if you bring the pie!

Definitely curious as to how it turns out! I've been trying to come up with other stuff to keg, and I love ginger beer!

Ok, I've been doing some research on possibly converting my spare keg into a Mash Tun, with the hopes of finding a standoff/false bottom big enough to get a heating element underneath to control Mash temperature; I would love to see pictures of your setups if anyone has anything similar...

Looking to score some fresh Zombie dust (3-6 bottles), can trade ohio locals (Madtree, The Brew Kettle, Fat Head's, Jackie O's, etc...). Contact me and let's work something out! Looking to complete this by next Friday (6/6/14). Also on BA.

I always get asked by Mom, no, pestered about how much beer I make per batch... and recently finished my Keezer build, sent her a picture, and instead of being happy for me that I built something snidely asked, "So because there are three taps that means you have three kegs?" .... yes... that...
