Hello from Mt. Rainier and congrats on the upgrade.

I also just picked this fermentation chamber today off of OfferUp for $40! It is super solidly built, heavy, has 5” of foam insulation all around, and holds 4 carboys. I kind of freaked out when I saw it. It’s way too nice to be $40. I’ve seen way crappier chambers going for $500+. It’s lager...

It’s DIY even though I didn’t build it but I just bought this fermentation chamber/work table off of OfferUp today for $40. I kind of freaked out when I saw it. It’s way too nice to be $40. I’ve seen way crappier chambers going for $500+. It is super solidly built, heavy, has 5” of foam...

I finally got around to taking some pics of the grain mill. It’s run by my kitchen aid that sits on the shelf and coupled to the drive. I still need to take it apart to clean everything though.

I'm am not a fan of IPA's. It seems to me that people are just trying to cram as much hops into their beer for the novelty of it. I was recently thinking that maybe I just haven't found an IPA that tastes balanced to my palate so I'm thinking of experimenting with them to try and find something...

My condolences on your kettle. I hope they can work with you to replace the damaged parts. Glad it was just the equipment that ate it and not a person.

Just made the mead for my wedding in August of next year. 5gal of traditional and the other 5gal is going to be a raspberry melomel. Started a little lower than I wanted @ 1.096 but it should be good. Using 71b and a staggered nutrient schedule. It’s now happily bubbling away in the fermenter.

Mead is made and happily bubbling away in the fermenter. Came out a little low @1.096 (was shooting for 1.110 but I ran out of honey) but it should be fine. 5gal is going to be a traditional and 5gal is going to be a raspberry melomel. Next week is the cider then it’s on to working on...

Video games are made to have fun. Give some, take some, have some fun, and drink some beer. People get too worked up over video games.

That is awesome!!!

I'll definitely be picking up a set of those! I was thinking about rigging up an automatic opening actuator but that looks a lot easier. At least until I have the time and money to rig up something cool.

How long do the meeting usually last? And thanks for the info. I was looking at the old website. I'll try to make tomorrow but if not I'll definitely shoot for next month.

Sadly the Crankenstein got a little water damage in storage and I'll have to make some repairs before it's up and running again.

I'm super stoked that he passed it down. He put a lot of work into it and we have a lot of great memories of brew days connected to this old brewery.

HAHAHA. Yeah, now days I do most of my bagging on Overwatch but I do miss the good ol' halo days.

I'll slowly be covering the freezer part in beer labels and beer related stickers. Should look pretty good in a few months. Also going to add a couple more taps (one is going to be a nitro stout tap) on the other side to even it out. Only problem with it is that all the wood is thick ass...

Yeah. It's pretty damn epic!

The Tea Party ruined it for us well meaning tea baggers of a bygone age. lol

Lol The mead and cider are going in bottles for a total capacity of 95 gallons :D
