Heh, the neighborhood it's in doesn't feel very "campusey" to me. Although, it *is* right next to edgewood college. Korn, you're in Madison too huh. Nice to meet you.

Yep, the wine and hop shop. It's by campus (kind of) on Monroe street. The URL is: www.wineandhop.com The guy that's always working in there (must be the owner) is really friendly.

Oh, I agree. Again, I'm sorry, I'm just pretty anal about the entire boiling/sanitizing thing because of what I did in school. 15 minutes should be fine (especially for priming sugar for instance, but that has less to do with the nasties but more with a lack of nutrients, plus an established...

SWMBO would probably object to that many fermenters all at once though...heh.

Not to intrude or nitpick here, but... Actually, the *minimum* time of boiling to have "sterile" (and I use those quotes on purpose) liquid is 30 minutes. 15 minutes will definitely make sure that *most* of the nasties are gone, and that's especially true if you heat shocked them by sending...

Looks good to me, but then, I'm not a good judge of "art"

That's *really* interesting. I bet you could hook that up to a standard electric motor or something, and not have to use a drill. I'll have to look at my local home despot and see if they have something like it there. Any info on the brand or anything?

I'm sooo impatient. I have my first batch in my secondary, waiting to be bottled (probably in a few days) and I *had* to get a second batch going. Yes, I did an extract brew (with steeped grains), but still. I'm hoping it turns out well. Making a coffee porter (I'm going to call it a...

I think that's what I was thinking of then. Cast iron, though, you can get to ridiculous temperatures on a stove. Thanks for the advice, and I didn't really mean to threadjack.

Maybe a stupid question, but couldn't putting a very hot (i.e. just been boiling for a long time) brewpot directly into an ice bath cause problems for the metal of the brewpot? I'm thinking warping, or something. Maybe I'm just remembering a long time ago or something, but I could *swear*...

I was wondering the same kind of thing (not specifically about that particular pump), but if I were looking for a pump, what kind of pump should it be. I dislike siphoning (I tend to make a mess of things when I siphon), and would love to just hook up a (sanitized of course) pump instead.

hey, a Rollie Fingers Avatar. Cool. I've got a baseball signed by him from (I think) 1984 (it's 1984ish at least).

Ok, I'm completely new here and all, but I'm 95% sure that there's no pectin in honey. The reason you used the pectic enzymes with the fruit ale, is because pectin is found in the cell walls of various plants (fruits) and will cloud the beer (pectin is generally used to make jams, jellies...

Google searched Home Brew Forums, I believe this was first on the search list.

Sort of new to Home Brewing (did it a few times when in college). Took an 8 year hiatus, and trying it again. Starting out with extracts and such, but eventually hoping to move on to bigger and better things.
