Ball-locks need to be cheaper than $65 and tank needs to be cheaper than $60

haha I'm an idiot and over thought the issue prior to finishing my morning coffee. You are 100% correct!

Send them to me and I'll test them for ya!

Doing my first brew tomorrow, NB Caribou Slobber!

1.050 If it should be 1.000 at 60F, and it was 1.000 at 84F in water, then it is reading 0.003 high (if calibrated correctly should have read 0.997 in water at 84F according to the documentation in your manual). So you actually need to subtract 0.003 from your wort reading at 84F.

Richmond, Va has several awesome breweries: Ardent Triple Crossing Brewing Hardywood Isley Lickinghole Creek Center of the Universe Legend's (more historical than anything they have been around 20+ years, I don't think their beers are that great) Up in Stanton is Red Beard Brewing Blue Mountain...

All outlets in my garage are on a GFCI breaker, so I'm good to go!

Doesn't get any fresher than this! $12 Was being delivered to my LHBS as I walked in!

Yep, didn't mention it as I figured it went without saying. Will be cleaning everything Friday night then sanitizing along the way Sat morning. Thanks for the mention though as it never hurts to remind new guys like myself! Gah, now you have me wanting to do a late addition haha!

Really want to do a late extract addition (cause it really makes sense), but since it's my first brew (and I don't fully understand how to adjust the hop additions accordingly) I think I'm gonna stick to the recipe.

I think I will be paying about $12 a vial at my LHBS, I'm buying after work tonight so I'll let you know this evening. My brew set up is a Bayou Classic burner with a 10gal Tall Boy kettle. Will be doing a full boil starting with 6.5gal. Chilling with a 50' 3/8"OD copper rib-cage IC that I...

I'm planning on doing the same thing this weekend, how to you keep anything from falling from your drill to the brew? Thinking wood particulate etc?

Thanks Gavin, I feel like I have done my research. Will have one of my brewing buddies over to make sure I don't royally screw up or over look something. But, I'm very much looking forward to it!

Thanks for the comment, in "How to Brew" and on HBT, everything stated was number one thing that can be done to produce good beer is Fermentation Temp. so first thing on my list was a chamber. Yeah RVA yeastlabs is local to Richmond, Va. I have seen nothing but great things about RVA...

Yep I was looking at that one and RVA 103 Pacman as well.

My first Brewday is Saturday! Tested the fermentation chamber last night and she held temp perfectly! I'm starting to get very excited about Saturday brew day! Picked up my 7gal of distilled water last night and will be picking up my yeast starter tonight from the LHBS. I'm planning on using a...

What route through VA and I can give some ideas.

Post #5 guys, sold.

Do you have two GFCI's or how did you get separate power to each outlet in the receptacle? Everything I'm seeing for GFCI's is that the second set of connections are for load only. I'm thinking about just installing a GFCI in the wall of my garage to put the entire unit on GFCI.
