I actually agree with you, it is the same metaphor I have been using. It is the perfect metaphor. The comment that it is "apples to oranges", well he doesn't really understand what a metaphor is..... As I said in my post earlier in this thread, extract brewers are a sensitive lot. In the end it...

Damn brother, looks awesome.

Thermowell is fine with what everyone is saying. However, the ball valve needs to be broken down every few batches. Liquid gets trapped in the ball valve, at the minimal, open and close the ball valve, with both your BPW and Starsan multiple times so both liquids get trapped behind the ball...

I am in the minority on this one. I did not care for it and I enjoy movies that make you think. I like movies that you are still thinking about days after. I do not like movies that rely on a gimmick in the end to explain everything aka M Night Shyamalan endings. I think it is weak story...

Pork shoulder or butt is something you can cook at little higher temp and it will not change the flavor, the real trick with pork is making sure you get above 200 on final temp of the meat. Not 165.

Remember this is Merica, you can move.

right around 300

Just did an overnight pork butt for a potluck at work. Put it on at 1:00 am, pulled it off at 8:00 am.

Boy you Extract brewers sure a touchy lot......

Buy a tilt hydrometer and never worry about having to take a sample again.....

I love the Advanco, yes it has some limitations, but it works fantastically. I do BIAB and I recirculate my mash. Yes, I have the heat going and I monitor it for the whole mash time, but that is fine for me, I did not get into this to plug something in and walk away from it and come back later...

Anyone know a good way to get the ends unscrewed? I need to change the battery and they screwed em in too tight.

my buddy was telling me I should make green beer. I would think that would take a crap load of green food coloring for 5 gallons.

I have the plastic box, no hole needed in mine.

That's way too much like math.....

That's what I was thinking too.

So my wife informed me she wants to host a party for St. Patty's day and told me I will need to provide the beer. I need a good all grain recipe for a St. Patty's beer that will be done in time if I brew this weekend. Thanks

That can be hard to describe for someone who is new. It was for me. My reaction was "It taste like Sh@%, can you help me with that?"

To make an extract beer great, you have to have skill, practice and technique. If you are new, you don't have those. Taste the extract, see if that is the taste you are tasting before you start breaking down your fermentation temps and water chemistry. It could simply be you don't like the taste...

As I said, for me the taste was the LME. That flavor is what drove me to find HBT. A real easy test for you, you said you have one kit left. Open the LME and taste it. If that is the taste you are getting in your beer. Then you found it. It was for me. I still have bottles left of my first...
