    Shelf life of diluted Starsan and Iodophor

    Star-san. If it foams, until the bottle is empty. I mix a gallon into a tank sprayer, use until empty. Repeat. Never had a problem.

    Are there any downsides with using plastic buckets as fermenters?

    80 + batches using nothing but buckets. No problems here. I won't make any claims as to more/less oxygenation, but i like my setup. 1 as a primary, 2 secondaries will allow me to build up the pipeline after it has been raided. I have never had a plastic bucket shatter if I dropped it.

    Want: Corny Kegs

    I was able to get a 4 pack from cornykeg.com shipped to me quite a bit cheaper than buying locally or though other places on the web.

    Sell me on a brewing system.

    I have a frost free spigot in my garage. As long as I shut it tight and drain the hose/keep it empty until I use it to chill, I brew all winter. Some nights as low as -5 degrees. One time I did fill the hose, and then 4 hours later try to run water out of it. Took 25 minutes to get flowing...

    Barley Crusher- attaching a drill...

    I have never had an issue with the keyless chuck. If anything the drill has tried to come around.

    Live in TN, IN, WI, or RI? Stock up on Dogfish...

    I'm thinking of all of the WI only breweries, I normally buy local when not my own. Pretty common here. New Glarus is pretty big only in the state. Many others have limited distribution. Surly has pulled back to only the cities to keep up. Not too bad of a problem to have.

    going all grain tell me how to spend my $400.00

    I would go with the square cooler. use a braid or a manifold. I am guessing you could have a mash tun for $30. Wort chiller is a must. Seriously consider a 15 gallon kettle. Get another bucket so you can have 1 primary and 2 secondary going...

    Best way to set up for bottling?

    Fill a 48 quart cooler with your sanitized bottles. Place that on top of the empty keg boxes to gain height. The cooler will catch all overflow, and you can swap out full bottles for empties as other bottles fill.

    Beer bottled, do i leave it out or put in fridge

    I usually store mine in my basement between 60 and 70 degrees. Put in fridge just before drinking.

    425 bbls per year ?

    Just remember a refrigerated semi trailer is made to maintain temperature, not necessarily cool things. I think as long as you start with a proper fermentation temperature, you should be ok. THanks!

    Need help - got 2 pin lock kegs, no idea!

    Yes, store under pressure. I bought the same kegs. You can relieve pressure by pushing down the gas in post. My thought was to get a bunch of pin lock, that way I don't have to worry about trying to convert.

    Order online, last minute things at LHBS?

    Buy from your LHBS or they will not be there when you need them. That being said, I feel I have a pretty good lhbs. Of course, it is tough for them to compete on all things, but I try to support them when I can and they are not too much money. They match northern brewer, and stock plenty of...

    12 dollar corny kegs

    I bought 8 from them earlier this year. 4 normal, 4 of the $12 ones. Really not that bad looking. Wished I would have bought the cheaper ones to begin with. Shipped they were still cheaper than the LHBS or any of the other places I could find. I figured. Happy customer here, quick shipping...

    Can you have too many bottles? I estimate to have 500 plus.

    Was going through the same thing myself. Just started kegging. Have 12-15 cases of bottles. I will probably get rid of some, I am just trying to figure out how many to keep.
