Love the red frame! Here is mine. *pay no mind to the hose setup obviously. they were thrown on for a photo.*

haha awesome. Here is my guest bathroom.

Thanks Junkster. I doubt it will last long, brewing this weekend and from what I've read I should be exptecting the paint around the burners to fail. I'll try and rig some heat shields best as possible. As for the mash tun, thats going to be an experiment also. My mash usally seems to be a...

I FINALLY got my frame powder coated and wanted to share with everyone. I welded it from old (free) bed frames. Anyone have advice on protecting it before I brew on it and it chips/burns off all over the place?

Yeah I read somewhere that the dogfish 120 bottles with champagne yeast so thats what I used it for.

There are tons of answers to this. search yeast cultivating or harvesting. I just cultured yeast from a Dogfish 120 minute. Drank most the bottle and dumped the rest into a starter on stirplate and stepped it up a couple times. Worked great. I used it to bottle a 15% ABV experimental brew with.

My LHBS sells that product. They tell me to add it to the fermenter not the boil, but I don't see it being sterilized if it isn't boiled. Maybe check the manufacturers website.

agreed. You only have 2 pounds of flaked grains, the rest have husks so you are fine. Wheat doesn't have husks and turns to mush hence the need for rice hulls. Good luck with the brew.

reading is fun but it can't beat the camaraderie of fellow brewers answering your questions in a conversation/ FORUM type scenario.

Premium Supporter finally. All it took was an amazing looking give-away! Count me in, thanks.

Did I win?

Most home brew competitions allow sam adams bottles I believe. and their labels come off pretty easy. I have the same problem of not being able to stop people from bringing me so many bottles! kegging rules forever.

I used to cool through the HLT coil in an ice bath and it was extremely fast compared to other cooling methods, but adding 10-15$ in ice to every batch got old. I just use an immersion chiller in the BK now. Why would you want it permanent?

Go local, support the small guy. Im sure homebrew shops in your state deliver, maybe even with cheaper shipping. These supplies have traveled from all over the world to get to your state. Buy local.

welcome to the forum! You have more patience than I, I always drink a few before they are fully carbed to see how they are coming along.

great, welcome to the forum.

gorgeous. wish this was for sale 6 months ago.

I've never whirlpooled, I only have one pump. I plan on another someday. I'll do some research on it, from what I understand the whirlpool gets everything into the center of the kettle and then your pick up tube is up against the wall of the kettle with no screen? I haven't heard the terms...

I built this kettle screen because I clogged my hoses with whole leaf, but I can see how if my down tube were closer to the bottom of the kettle maybe the leaf hops would make themselves into a filter, cool idea. I'm new to harvesting yeast just since I made this filter, it's pretty fine mesh...
