Well, we've made some progress. The footings and walls are poured, the waterproof coating is on, some of the fill on the outside of the walls is done. Pouring the footings Setting the forms After the forms were removed After the waterproofing Another angle after the waterproofing. The...

Damn @maddjaxx ! Killer setup!

Yes! I'll probably have 20A outlets every 4 or 6 feet. Plus the outlets for BIAB.

We haven't got that far into the planning of that vent yet but I will make a note to ask him about it. If the vent sucks, I can always add the steam condenser later. Noted. I think it will be electric but I will ask the builder. Yeah, I'm leaning towards 100A now. I had a 100A subpanel...

Sweet room @Dland . Looks huge! Do you use your floor drain much or is it more for emergencies? I was only planning on putting epoxy on the floor. I thought leaving the walls unfinished would look cool, but I can see how painting it would make it look bigger. Painting is such a PITA though...

It won't be a man cave necessarily, just a place to get all my brewing equipment in one location to appease the other half. It will also be for storage of yard furniture and maybe exercise equipment. But I'll have a TV and a stereo in there. My controller is 30A, but I figure between the...

For those who either have built brew rooms or thought about designing a brew room, do you have any recommendations for things you are glad you did and/or things you wish you did? Background: I am building an additional garage for my house and given the way the yard slopes, the builder and I...

I've been waffling between an upright freezer and a glycol chiller. I don't brew a ton. I only have 1 conical and don't intend to get any more since I brew infrequently. Based on that, I decided an upright freezer makes more sense than a glycol. Freezer/fridge pros: I can use it for other...

If you are looking for something unique, check out Beforeigners on HBO streaming. It takes place in Oslo and the set up is that people start appearing from different time periods (the 1800s, the Viking Age, and the Stone Age) called time-igrants. The 2 main characters are a current day cop and...

Watched the first season of Deadwind on Netflix. A nice, understated Finnish series about 2 detectives in Helsinki investigating a murder. The 2nd season came out a few weeks back. I'm taking a break to watch a few other shows before I get back on it. I binged all 3 seasons of Dark a few...

That'd be my guess. I had a DDH King Sue last week that had been in my fridge for months and it poured super hazy. Tasted awesome, too. That beer had a ton of sediment.

I saw someone post something similar a few weeks ago. Not sure if it was from the same canning date. TG always has sediment in their cans and bottles. I always leave the last ounce or 2 in the can because of it.

I've been waiting to buy a glycol chiller and I know as soon as I pull the trigger, I'll get a coupon.

I haven't got an email coupon from them in ages. Just wondering if they are still doing those. I used to get them all the time.

Too late for this batch, but the Clear Beer Draught System works well for dry hopping in kegs.

The hops will sink as it cools. Maybe the bag has some buoyancy, but if not, it will sink.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been waiting for the Max 2 but at this point, I'd rather spend a little extra to get something that allows me to brew now. Plus it has a smaller footprint and more potential for expansion. I'm still waiting for MoreBeer to have a sale, though. I know as soon...

Anyone watch Cheer? It's not normally something I'd go for but it seems to be pretty buzzy so I checked it out. It's basically a documentary about a cheer team at a community college in Texas that is practicing to compete in the national cheer championship. Despite the small size of the...

Definitely not like Contagion. That movie took a hard turn into territory I wasn't expecting.
