Many moons ago I was creating an eBay account and needed a handle. My dog was laying next to me licking his junk, as he tends to do often. My dog's name is Marvin, and his breath is terrible.

I haven't seen Thirsty Dog Citra Dog suggested yet. Not sure if it's distributed in Florida. I had it recently and really liked it. Their description says single hop with citra. I definitely picked up the citra but it didn't taste like the citra-only beers I've brewed before. A lot more...

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=473178 This is the first hefe we made and it was awesome. 5 gal gone less than a month from brew day. Will definitely brew it again and might try Amarillo or something else citrusy. Let us know your recipe and how it turns out.

I use the KA grinder attachment and am very happy with it. The motor does tend to run hot, just have to go at a smooth pace and not bog it down. I always par-freeze the meet and cut in strips not chunks. Grind quality is good and no cracking issues. I use a LEM piston stuffer. No experience...

Surprisingly, I've done okay when drinking or around other smokers. Every time I've relapsed, it's been because of stress. Some s**t hit the fan at work or home and I didn't have any healthy coping mechanisms in my playbook, so I made a beeline to the nearest drug store or gas station. I want...

Thank you both for the well wishes. The eternal wisdom of Master Yoda never ceases to be applicable, even in this galaxy. Today was indeed much better than yesterday. It helped that I was out of town for a project site visit and not sitting in front of a computer for 10 hours straight. I...

Last smoke was exactly 72 hours ago. Been smoking for 20 years. I've quit a few times before using NRT, once with chantix, but this time I'm going cold turkey. I just want to rip off the band aid this time and get it over with. First 2 days weren't bad but holy s^*t balls today has been...

Good timing! I just happen to be in the market for a bag to go with my new 15 gal pot. Would appreciate a discount code, please.

Thanks for the quick review and congrats on the new toy. I've been emailing with Ryan and may pull the trigger on the BIAB panel. Ryan seems like a great guy....very helpful and happy to customize to your liking. It's nice to see the inside of your panel. The wiring looks very clean. I wish...

Hey all, I’ve decided to make the transition to electric (BIAB) so I can brew in the basement all year round. I haven’t yet decided on a controller but I have my eyes on the brew boss at the moment. I enjoy DIY projects and I may eventually convince myself to just build my own. Just not...

Looks great and I especially love the Walter fathead. Sweetness is my man!

Bumping Mark's post as I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Brew Boss system and I may go with the COFI option. I'm also wondering if anyone bought the whirlpool attachment and might be able to post some pictures. The website description isn't clear on whether the wand connects to the...

I do BIAB and I added the first wort hop when I pulled the bag. Let the hops sit and the bag drain for 15 min or so before lighting the fire. Worked well, nice smooth bitterness.

I'm on pretty much the same schedule and also dry hopped in the keg. I pulled the bag yesterday though. I was getting ready to post about how cloudy mine was (looks identical to yours) and was wondering what people's thoughts were. Is it mostly just the huge amount of hops or more to do with...

It's up next actually. I just kegged a beer and have a free fermenter, so I may try to brew it this weekend if I have time. I brewed BM's OktoberFAST last weekend, so between that and your dunkel I'll be all set to drink like a German this fall. How quickly do you usually turn this one...

A lot of people use a swamp cooler and this is how I used to keep temps down until I got a dedicated chest freezer and temp controller. Just put water in a large tub and rotate out a few frozen water bottles twice a day for the first 3-4 days of fermentation. You can also put a t-shirt or...

Read everything you can before brew day and by all means keep it simple. Don't bother with a secondary, just dry hop in the primary. Only been doing this a year and a half and simplifying our recipes and process has had the most profound effect on quality (temp control is a close second)...

Don't secondary the hefe. It's supposed to be cloudy. We kegged ours at 13 days, were drinking 2 days later and it was damn good. There was a bit of sulfur, which is normal for WY3068, but it cleared up quickly. Don't know about WL300, but if you pick up any sulfur at 2 weeks maybe let it...

Very happy with my wilser bag purchased a couple months ago. Perfect fit and top notch quality. Brewing our 5th batch with it right now.

Made the 4th and final starter step for Bells yeast harvested from Oberon bottles, to be pitched into a brown ale that we're brewing tomorrow. The Bells yeast harvesting is about the coolest thing I've done since starting this hobby and it's gone really well so far. Makes me feel all mad...
