It's actually fairly difficult to push the copper tubing through the hose when it's straight. I straightened out my old ic using the diptube from a 1/2 bbl sanke. Just push the coiled copper though until the curve of it won't allow any more to be pushed through, then use the dip tube to...

Hmmm, looks like I have somewhere to go crush my grains now! :ban:

Anybody going to this? www.hopmadness.com I mentioned it to my wife tonight after I saw the blurb in BYO today. Anyone on here ever been? Looks like it could be a lot of fun, plus lots of hops!! Austin

From what I saw, it looked like they had like 4-5 (I think that's how many) 1/2 bbl glycol cooled conicals. Austin

I don't think that their website has much detail on their operations, but try Googling "Schooner Exact." These guys are in Seattle and making some tasty brew. It's a couple of guys breing on their previously garage set up. It's really pretty cool, they distribute regularly to a couple of bars...

Welcome! Never hurts to have more WA people :) I'm in West Seattle, and I'm pretty sure that there's quite a few others on here from the Seattle area. Austin

You sued a brewery to get them to hire you?!? :cross: Just teasing! Austin

I just made my first 5 gallons of Apfelwein after reading so much about it. 1407 gallons total Austin

Found this on craigslist... I'd like some feedback if anyone's used one. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/for/339388671.html Thanks, Austin

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight! Austin

Ok, thanks for the quick answer! I'm a bit confused now though, because I entered the recipe for Vanilla Bourbon Porter into Beersmith the other night (to brew this weekend) and it has a 17 lb grain bill. The water calculations that it shows include the proper 1.25 qt/lb for mashing, but...

What about for sparging? Your post currently says 1/2 gallon per pound of grain, should that be in quarts too? Austin

In my Mocha Stout (recipe in sig line), I added 28 oz of cold-brewed coffee to secondary, and it didn't cause any problems whatsoever and came out great... Maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer to stick to actual coffee rather than extract. Austin

Update: I'm building the keggle, and will be using my 8 gal pot to heat sparge water :mug: The also means that I have to build a new frame for my turkey fryer burner since the keg doesn't fit too well on top of the turkey fryer. Went ahead and picked up a venturi (from the $4...

So I've searched through a whole bunch of past threads about CFC's trying to determine what the optimum length for one is. I've seen people say 25' with partial flow (to decrease the amount of cooling). Here's the deal, I ordered a venture and have decided to turn my immersion chiller into...

That happens to be a favorite of mine as well... Here's what their website has to say about it: Hale's blondest member of its line of Dublin Style Ales is the silky smooth Hales Cream Ale. An easy drinking golden pale ale brewed with a combination of unique Yakima hops that compliment and...

They ARE from Harbour Freight (i.e. disposable tools), but like I said, for a few holes, they should do the trick. Austin

Hey guys, I'm not connected to Harbour Freight in any way whatsoever, but I know that people are always mentioning on here how expensive step drills are (and they usually are). I came across this deal at Harbour Freight and figured I'd pass it on after I ordered some :rockin...

I haven't been there yet, but have heard great things about Brouwer's Cafe in Fremont. http://www.brouwerscafe.com/bier.html Supposed to have a HUGE selection of beers, both bottled and draft with lots and lots of specialty beers and such... A coworker said that she sampled bacon flavored...
