I had a batch that went sour, infected probably, and because of other things in my life it stayed in my plastic fermenting bucket for 2 months. Will cleaning the bucket in PBW get rid of any sourness or is my bucket ruined? My plan was to rinse it tonight and fill it with a PBW solution...

It may be a spade lug connector. Why is soldering a no-go?

Broncobum, do you deal with Solid State Logic controllers?

I'm missing Vegas. My last trip sucked because I was sick the whole time and wished I had stayed home. But I sense one in my future!

Sin City does not have good beer, imo.

Main Street Station ( Casino/Hotel ) has a brew pub. It is okay. If you go there check out the buffet first and then then the brew pub. They are located downtown. There is a Gordon Biersch on Paradise. Hofbrau Haus also on Paradise, but a bit aways from Biersch, is lots of fun. But Yardhouse...

I did a gravity test and a visual/taste test. My gravity is 2 points lower than I measured it when I went to bottle it. My guess is that I roused the yeast and it did a better job fermenting. Also I thought I had a little too much residual sweetness last week and I tasted less of that this week...

I would be interested in this too, although I am not set up for lagering. This is one of my favorite beers and I'm happy to see that it is become more and more available.

I had racked into the bottling bucket and added the priming sugar. I then had a problem with my bottling bucket leaking, which was my fault. There was no way to bottle so I racked it into the only appropriate container, the fermenter. That happened last Tuesday. I'll check the gravity tomorrow...

Last week I went to bottle and had a bit of a problem, I posted about it in the bottling & kegging forum. I had to rack the beer back into the fermenter with the priming solution in it. So it roused up the yeast a lot. I was advised to give it a week to settle again. Tonight I took a peek and I...

Hello back from NYC!

Last week I was cleaning bottles in PBW and using Star San for sanitation. My hands were so dry they were itching and burning. I used Eucerin for 2 days and that got me back to normal.

Does a TAD work well for english ales with low carbonation levels? I've thought of using cubitainer but the TAD might keep the ale fresher.

A friend of mine calls me because of all these computer problems, his internet isn't working, he wants to save all the pictures of his kids, etc.. I get there and in addition to the power supply fan not working and the cpu fan not working he's got this internet security 2010 virus and the...

Years ago when I brewed I would go to NYCHG, and also MBAS, but since coming back I have not. I've been thinking of coming back to the meetings.

I think in my frantic state I did not state what I did properly. When the bottling bucket was dripping I let it drip into the sanitizer bucket, not into my fermenting bucket with the yeast cake. I had thought of cleaning my fermenting bucket but I had no way of sanitizing after rinsing the...

Star San, only 2 gallons. It's back in the fermenting bucket with a piece of foil to keep stuff out. It's gonna have to settle as far as yeast goes. I'l see how it looks over the next few nights. The mess part was not as bad as I feared it would be. How funny would it be if it turned out...

Tonight I prepared to bottle. I had clean bottle and prepared everything. I took a sample and it finished a hair high but tasted great, an English Pale Ale, clean with a nice hop taste. I siphoned carefully into my bottling bucket and added the priming sugar. I then lifted the bottling bucket...

Very Nice Bass!

Yes, I play a Fender Precision.
