I was going to jump on my “traffic here sucks, home prices are horrible” bandwagon and then I remembered you’re in CA! [emoji41] But you can always “tip” the young guys standing on the corner begging for weed money! Ya’ll got that yet?! Man, we have it on every corner now!

When somebody says, “hold my beer” - always get the camera ready. Always.

I bought a $100 vacuum sealer to save $40 in hops. [emoji1]

The keezer is dead! Long live the keezer!! Introducing keezer 2.0. I decided to use this as an excuse to get a new drill, upgrade my beer lines, disconnects, etc. I spent more on “upgrades” than I did the darn freezer, I think!!

Are you saying it “jumped the shark”!?

Bought a new 8.7 cu ft freezer from Lowe’s for $249. Hopefully I can pick it up Fri, build a collar over the weekend, and be back in business soon!

I don’t remember off the top of my head other than I did change the delay.

Came home from work Monday and went to get a beer...crap, it’s warm! Seems like the ol’ chest freezer gave up the ghost and died a peaceful death sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday night. I blew out the coils and tried cleaning things but it doesn’t seem to help. If I unplug it...

Decide to change your process, order a new part, and plan a brew day on a Sat based on the tracking info stating said part will be delivered that day. I prep'd everything and did some household chores while waiting and finally - at 2:00 the mail arrived! Yeah! Getting a late start but happy...

LOL! I probably should have prefaced my post with, "I know I am overthinking this but...!"

Just a quick somewhat on topic question. It takes 5 mins to drop temp from boil to say 170, would you get more accurate hop utilization data if you added a 5 min “whirlpool” to account for that time? 5 min hops are closer to 10 min hops??

Curious why you wouldn’t recommend the “double airlock”?

So sorry to hear this. It’s hard as hell losing a buddy. We lost our English bulldog almost 1 year ago exactly and I brew an English IPA called Bulldog Slobber in his memory (if anyone has ever had a bulldog they’ll know what I mean by “slobber”!). I agree that you should do a dark, full...

Love that city!

I put my probe in a growler filled with water. Are you using a temp controller?

Saturday I received A 3 piece ball valve and a pick up tube but they sent the wrong pick up tube!! I was waiting all day for this to arrive before my brew day...arrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh! I wanted a side tube for whirlpool but got the bottom tube. Oh well, mistakes happen.

I’m officially a dumb ass!

Thanks for the link. Those look like the 453g cubes. Would that be too much?

I am going to bottle a batch and want to try the individual sugar cubes but can’t find the <3 gram cubes anywhere - including Amazon. The Domino Dots I see there are 453 grams. Where do you guys (who do this) find the right size cubes!?

Bought a 10G round cooler and a false bottom to modify my BIAB process. I’m going to boil water in my kettle, move (underlet) to cooler for mash, and move back to kettle for boil. This is in an attempt to do LODO in BIAB so I’ll be purging hoses, etc during the process. Looked at my frozen...
