Nope, talking about the "little apple". Manhattan KS:fro:

I'll check into that, I'm not one that is OK with the stealing of kegs....even if it is from some large brewery.

Hey ya never know, maybe you just invented the czech IPA:mug:. unfortunately you don't seem to have much to be "creative" with from my point of view.

+1 They charge about $1/lb of stainless. They always have them. Or check recycling centers.

Id do a czech pils, let it lager until spring time. Just a simple recipe with pils, carapils, and pils type hops.

Thanks for the concern....but do you REALLY think they would hand out casings that held DEPLETED URANIUM???? These casings had HEI rounds, AKA high explosive incendiary, and I assure you, they will be cleaned.

The casings stay in the jet when they are fired. So id grab them from the pilots.

I leave Afghanistan in a few months, you keep in touch, and I manage to grab a bunch of casings...we can work a trade. I only need 3 or so.

Barley crusher, kegging setup(4 cornies/3 taps), and temp controller.

Here is one of my future plans....Its a casing from the 30mm cannon of an A-10.

For your BK is there still a ring of metal inside the top? Or is that completely removed? Seems from the reading there is still a lip on the inside. I'm going to move to BIAB when I get home and a keg seems to be the simple/cheap method, just wanted to see what you'd suggest.

Do a search.....but basically:chop vanilla bean up, soak in small amount of vodka for a couple days, add to secondary. Might consider using about half a bean in such a light beer.

6 Lbs pilsner LME 1 oz of each: tettnang spalt saaz hersbrucker hallertauer split into equal portions @ 60, 20, 5, dry hop. 2124 bohemian lager ferment until hitting terminal, d-rest and lager a month. That simple.

Sounds like you just need to get a quality kit from somewhere like northern brewer or midwest supplies. Personally I wouldn't mess with this one anymore, write it off as a loss(drink it still) and get a better kit.

Are you stuck on the barrel idea, or are you ok with say....Oak spirals/chips soaked in some wine or bourbon....soo much easier.

I did a smash last yeah from 2-row and El Dorado hops,made a pretty good beer, but I would use them only for aroma additions. Very sweet almost candy like scent.

Have you made sure whatever measuring device you are using is calibrated?

Don't worry, you are next!!!

Dont boil the vanilla beans! No need to sanitize them, just simply chop them up and place in about 1/2 oz of vodka for a day or so, and put them in the secondary, might want to put them in a bag that you can remove later when you think you have the vanilla flavor you are seeking. I suggest 1-2...

Bigger kettle(15 gal) and hopefully a nice burner, going to start BIAB when i get home.
