    Smoky dark beer recommendation?

    fwiw, I have tried to make and I have sampled lots of smoked beers and this is by far the best I have tasted. Not English but those Germans know what they are doing

    Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

    Being a Ranger/NY fan, I can't help reminiscing about last time Boston was so excited about a historic season until that matchup with the Giants. Hopefully the Rangers can get past the Devils and get to test their metal with an eventual dual with the Bruins (but then again there are three...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    looks good. It's not unusual for a cooker to read one temp near the units built in probe and another elsewhere. Put a cheap oven thermometer in there so you know and of course many probe thermometers come with a BBQ probe in addition to the meat probe. So long as the difference is...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    I've done this a few times now and recommend saucing with. mix of apple cider, cayenne, more rub and Blues Hog Original sauce. Even though I have many medals saucing with tradition BBQ sauce, I am finding that heavily cutting it with apple cider vinegar (and a bit more seasoning) is so much...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    Fired up the CookShack Fast Eddy 120 today. I still need to replace the connection fan and igniter (used a small butane torch to light the pelletsO which the replacement parts have been in the box since last year, but daubing a simple pork shoulder for pulled pork tomorrow. I usually get...

    Water Profile Software - Easy One?

    +1. I used the easy water calculator and beer smith in the past, but now use brew father for a number of reasons. You can save your water source profile so it will do the calculations based on the target you select and the grain bill and hit the calculate and update the additions button...

    Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

    NJ-BOS tonight - If the Sabres hold off the Canes today, the the Devils will be playing for first place and an opening round v a wild card and not the Rangers, not to mention a test to see how they match up to the league's president trophy team, one they will likely need to play if they are...

    Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

    Rangers and Lightening were wiped out last night after their slugfest the night before. Looks like the Devils are about to over take the Canes. That might be good for the Rangers, the Canes forechecking confounds the Rangers offense but the Devils, IMO, are a team they don't want to face...

    Can't lager, want to make Oktoberfest

    ^ this. +1. You’re not set up to lager and unlikely will be in the very near future. So the only downside as mentioned is that it’s likely it will have characteristics not traditionally is a high quality lager but it will be good. Better to follow is the recipe and continue to get...

    Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

    Canes feeling the pressure of the Devils and Rangers footsteps. Rangers looking to get home ice for an opener against the Maple Leafs. The "Kid Line" forwards each scored a goal today and carried the Blue Shirts to another come from behind win. That line could be the key to the Rangers...

    Sanitizing glassware

    Source for your claim? Because I believe they do not and you are conflating disaffecting and sanitizing. From the EPA web site: "Mixing bleach with other chemicals containing ammonia, quaternary ammonium compounds (found in other disinfectants), vinegar or other acids can create a toxic...

    Sanitizing glassware

    I have to chime in again, I thought something was wrong with mixing bleach and vinegar - yup. PLEASE DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND VINEGAR. While doing so will make it a stronger disinfectant, doing so WILL RELEASE CHLORINE GAS. Even small amounts of chlorine gas can be dangerous. and the...

    Sanitizing glassware

    I think we already mentioned Nu Foam is readily available. May not be on a supermarket shelf but it's available online and in food and bar supply shops. It's also more convenient since its in tablet form, just add water.

    Sanitizing glassware

    he refuted your claim that bleach is not a very good sanitizer. you turned that into a straw man claiming that he said bleach + vinegar is not a more effective sanitizer. he didn't say that. you said he said that. PS. He's a Bruins fan, it's killing me to back him up.

    Anvil Foundry sparge + whirlpool SS tube

    I use Anvils whirlpool arm for the 6.5 foundry. works well. I also got the stainless steel plate (replaces the plastic one that come standard on the pump and looks identical to the one listed in the OP). not worried about high temps anymore plus I was able to fit it with quick disconnects...

    Sanitizing glassware

    Having been food service certified in both Nassau and Suffolk DOH I confirm that both will allow a diluted bleach solution to clean and sanitize food prep surfaces. I assume we took the same classes and dealt with the same inspectors. I do think the no rinse products have become the option...
