Blue Moose- did you soak the oak chips seperately in different jars of alcohol or did you throw them all in one jar?

Op gets to keep it- I am on loan. I wish my wife had awesome friends that brew to pass on equipment. As it is I am giving my old MT to a new brew. Got to keep this hobby alive.

I pretty much agree with this statement. I recently came up on a 15 gl brew kettle because a friend couldn't brew in his new apartment. I told him I would watch it for him since I didn't have the heart to keep it- plus when he moves again he'll need it. Then a friend had a baby and he is storing...

I use my wedding ring and when I do, there's usually one guy in the crowd that needs to learn. I warn them that I have a tungsten ring and it doesn't stratch.

Thanks!

I have been wanting to brew it without dry hopping a week a part but I reall like the aroma and flavor. I am lagging because if it ain't broke don't fix it right? I'll give those 2 threads a read. Thanks for the lead fnord!

I have been layering my dry hop additions- 1 oz just after fermentation and 1 oz a week later. Essentially the first addition is in the fermenter for 2 weeks but I haven't noticed any vegetal flavors in my beer. I am using pelletized Falconer's Flight 7 C's though so maybe that may have...

Up to you if it's worth it. I was at the local craft beer bar on Saturday. The owner's brother popped in and surprised a few of us with a free taste. To my wife and I, it tasted like a tawny port. We didn't get any carbonation- not sure if that was how it should be or if the bottle had been...

Sierra Nevada did a tap takeover at a local pub and had something like 70 taps. My wife and I were able to try a lot of beers on tap we had not seen before and found a few styles that we did not think we liked, but absolutely loved. Sierrandipity in particular was an English Bitter. They had 2...

THank you for the opportunity

Same here. I typically keg and only bottle when I need to. Good thing these forums are around to fix my dumb mistakes :drunk:

Holy Crow! Sorry for the mis information and thanks for setting me straight!

Also you'll need to take into consideration your temp when adding priming sugar. A certain amount of C02 remains in suspension at colder temps and adding the normal amount of sugar will cause your beer to be over carb'd http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html ***IGNORE THIS POST-...

I don't get this- These are appaling 'techniques' to be reccomending. Is this the inspiration for that Buffalo Wild Wings homebrewer spoof?

What stuck out to me was the line about needing to take a few years off from buying hops because they had too much in stock? What? Can you have enough hops for years to come and still produce good beer that you expect to taste the same. I had a hard time believing that. And then the next...

The only thing I could think of when I read this was that I wouldn't jump with a chord made from a person who studied the science of bungee jumping and manufactured them using good practices but never tested them. Sadly you didn't go there. It would have been funny... You had a lot of valid...

Wet Cardboard is usually oxidized beer. Don't introduce oxygen after fermentation and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the chance to win

I use Teflon Tape to help ensure the seal. I had real issues with leaks when I first got my kettle until I used it. Ever since I take it apart every 5 brews or so to change the tape and haven't had an issue with leaks since.
