    Grain Mill broke at store

    That is the only shop with in 2 hours from me one way. It is a sad sad day! I don't think I do well enough with the rollong pin. It looks far more cracked after going through a miller than rolling a pin over it in a plastic bag.

    How long does slurry last?

    Ok pretty straight forward question here. I have some slurry sitting in the fridge. It has been in a mason jar with plastic wrap on the top. I used a rubberband to hold it on. How long will the slurry last? It has been in there at least 6 weeks. Thanks for all the help!! Happy brewing. Tom

    Worry? Naw. But man is that GREEN! (i hope)

    Thank you Bike N Brew. I will remove the keg from the fridge today. As far as the carbonation goes I did have it at about 30psi for a couple of weeks. It was a constant 30psi because it was hooked to the regulator. I know now that I should hit it with 30 psi and then UNHOOK it from the regulator...

    Worry? Naw. But man is that GREEN! (i hope)

    I feel your pain. I have a batch of Magic Hat #9 clone and I kegged it. I think the keg could have been a little cleaner but I WAY over carbonated it and now it comes out a nice foam. When it settles the beer is very nice except for the fact that it tastes like butter. YUCK. Oh well back to the lab.
