I think this is another myth that needs to be busted or confirmed....where are the brew mythbusters?

Did the airlock have enough liquid in it? Was it a 3 piece or "S" tube? If a 3 piece does not have enough liquid in it air can pass right through without causing movement.

I drop off recycling every saturday @ the local centers, sometimes I can spot cornys in the Stainless Steel bin. They sell them for usually $1-2/pound, equates roughly to $9 per keg at the low end, maybe check at those types of places if you have them local!

I'm from Manhattan and went to whats brewing once, can't say I was too impressed, they have stuff, but definitely doesn't seem like they care about their products at all. +1 for a store in manhattan!!

8 years AF, currently in the 'Stan. 3 months left till i get back home! Boy do I have some brews planned!

I personally would stick with de-bittered black malt, caramel 40-60 and light malt extract. I would NOT use black patent! Ive had a BIPA that had black patent in it and it COMPLETELY covered up the hops, tasted like ink. I would also not use the "darker" malt extract. And Ive never used...

Pitch plenty of yeast and pitch it at fermenting temps. Diacetyl rest at room temp for a couple days, then lager.

It's not going to carb if its off pressure, unless of course you added priming sugar when you kegged it. Let the full keg sit @ 30 psi for a day or so and it'll be carbed, or like Yooper said 10-14 days at a lower PSI.

'Nuff said!! **Hint, it's not the rock to keep the recipe from blowing away. ;)

I couldn't stop opening my jar and smelling the creation!!!!

Chop he beans up(gut em if you want), soak in <1 oz of vodka for a day or so then toss it all in the fermenter.

I used a couple toasted oak spirals (from northern brewer) in an imperial stout(OG 1.088). Turned out awesome! Mine sat on Oak and a couple vanilla beans for 9 months, and I'm glad I did it.

I would start out with a half a bean, cut up into small chunks (in vodka)and ramp up from there. I put 2 beans in a 1.084 Wee heavy and vanilla is almost overwhelming! http://www.beanilla.com/madagascar-vanilla-beans-p-28.html Skip the extract!

This method looks a little easier than normal AG. Anyone ever just dunk the spent grain bag in another already heated kettle with water to do a quick partigyle? Seems like if you had an extra kettle you could just boil that one while you are finishing up the first batch.
