That's impressive. I've heard since RW is no longer US made their quality has noticeably gone down. My pair made it 5 1/2 months and are dead. I know the cost and have tried a pair on just haven't committed the coin yet

Nick's is a White's competitor in the same area they are. Open Road is a custom one man shop in MN thay I found by way of YouTube. Same type of boot as a White's but supposedly even better quality.

Not a big deal. I appreciate the input either way. The reason I need something a little more hardcore is we work in -40 in the winters and up to 80 in the summer so life is hard on my stuff.

Guess I forgot to include a question haha. Does anyone have input negative or positive for White's or any other custom boot maker? Such as why one is or isn't better than the other?

Hey guys, I work in the heavy duty diesel industry at a mine. I wore through a pair of Red Wings in 5 1/2 months and am working on a pair of Danner Quarry's right now. I am leaning towards White's Smoke Jumpers in steel toe and maybe metguards. I have considered Nick's and Open Road Custom...

Sweet. Totally didn't notice thanks

Nice! I work 12s but am off 4-5 days at a time so I'm off all week this week (M-Thurs). Definitely have to head to Hoodoo again it's great

Hey guys, Want to see how many AK folks we have brewing. Also where do you order beer equipment from? I like my LHBS but have found items I want and would rather just buy online. NB is awesome but man they have expensive shipping.

I'm in Fairbanks, AK so the temp at my house today when I went to work was -15. No brewing outside in the winter for me. My stove heats 3.5 gal fine and I split up my 5 gal batches to ease the process.

Thanks! That's what beersmith gave me after putting IBU and SRM in. Adjusted the recipe to <20% but can't come anywhere near color.

Here's what I came up. Please critique it, I know it is a little high on ABV but hit the SRM and IBU. 5.75 lbs 2 Row 8oz carapils 2.75 lbs caramel 60 3 lb 8oz caramel 80 .61 oz Willamette @60 1 oz Glacier @10

Hey guys, Really enjoy this beer and can't find a recipe for it. Per KS website it consists of: Malt: Pale 2-Row, Carapils, Caramel 60, Caramel 80 Hops: Glacier, Willamette Wanted to punch the numbers into Beersmith but haven't yet. Also what would you say for hop schedule? I will...

I'm thinking something along those lines. The efficiency was like 42% which is beyond terrible and if beersmith is correct takes it from a 8.2 abv to 4.4 abv beer. Which is fine except that's not what I wanted. Maybe time for a nice blichmann or similar AG setup with temp gauge and false bottom...

I must need a new kettle then. I used 6 lbs of grain and 7.5 quarts of water, which is 1.25:1. I used a bag for the grain since I don't have a false bottom and I think they may have hurt as well. I also noticed a poor crush of the grain by my LHBS.

Good to hear. I am almost done with my BBA and will be transitioning into an MBA program. Unsure of concentration likely financial management but would like to someday brew for a living and run a small brewpub and/or work as an investment and financial manager.

Brewed this today. While my setup worked fine I think I will be moving to a bigger setup. The 2 gal batch was fine but the strike water didn't cover the grains fully and I had a super low OG compared to the Beersmith estimate. Ended with a 1.044 gravity to an estimate of 1.078. Looks like I'll...

Gotcha. Didn't think that is the C in CTZ

Cut the honey and crystal to 2 and 2. Hops changed based on what was available. I went with centennial instead of Colombus at 60, CTZ at 0 and centennial instead of cascade as a dry hop. Also should get rid of dank since it won't be super dank instead just calling it a hop bomb for now lol
