:rockin: that's good comedy. lol

Sounds like a plan then. Ground water here in Baton Rouge is fairly cool so shouldn't be an issue.

I have a small wort chiller at the moment that never really worked well and got worse when I started using keggles. So I was looking to upgrade to a larger chiller say this 30 foot Brewvint thing I'm seeing at Austin Home Brew. It suggests a pre-chiller use which is perfect since I already...

I'd second Pocket Brewer but then again I'm a little biased being that I'm the developer/owner of Pocket Brewer. I appreciate you using my app lostboysbrew. If you ever have any suggestions on how to make it better drop me a line. I tried out Brew Master. Whoever did that one is...

I might just say the hell with it and purchase a micromatic regulator and then get a kit from one of the Keg(insert name here).com sites. Let SWMBO scream when she opens the bank statement. I'm glad she hasn't started reading the transactions as they post online yet.

Or Keg Cowboy. I throw Keg Connection out there because I know people recognize that name here. Anyhow I have some keg equipment but it's taken a shelling over the years and I need some replacement stuff. I've read the Micro Matic parts are supposed to be excellent but also read that...

I'm looking at Keg Cowboy at the moment although up until this moment I was going to order Micro Matic since they're supposed to be so great.

Thanks guys. I'd never heard the term Perry before but that'll definitely help. I hadn't even thought that I may need to figure out exactly what kind of pears I'm dealing with. All I know is they make a fine pear butter so I assumed they'd make a tasty cider.

So I'm standing in my backyard realizing this pear tree I have is going to be loaded once again this year. My mom takes some of them and makes some very nice pear butter but other than that most go to waste. Further my neighbor down the street throws up a "free pears" sign every year. So...

I've started on the recipes and figured out what I need to do to run a recipe with alarms. It ain't really rocket science compared to the kind of stuff I deal with every day but I still have to find time between work, clients, kids, wife, baby and drinking to deal with the work, clients, kids...

I have the HTC Surround. It got "OK" reviews but it was cheap, available and the SWMBO liked it. So far no problems and it takes one hell of a beating from my one year old when she swipes it off the table so it's durable.

pre-heating takes a lot of the guess work out of the process. What do you use for a tun?

It sounds like you panicked a little when you missed your temp? I would've left the initial strike result and tried to figure out why I came in high. The reason I would've left it is you should still mash ok in the high 150's and in my experience the more I tinker with things that go wrong...

So in December I purchased a HTC phone with Windows Phone 7. No brewing apps out there! So I started writing one and published it to the marketplace. Pocket Brewer Currently it's functionality is unit conversions, calculation tools and a scratch pad. These for me are the primary...

Wow you know exactly how many! I lost count in reality. I think I just forgot a ton of the ones I ruined. I know I just tossed a at least a half dozen. Got a little too crazy too fast. Anyhow primary fermentation done and about 24 hours after the airlock slowed to a stop the color...

I poured it in and I think you're correct about yeast falling through. I'm interested to see how it turns out.

The yeast suspension theory is probably right but I thought I'd ask. A few hours in you could see the top quarter of the beer was a much lighter shade and 24 hours later it was solid that much lighter color. I've brewed probably 50+ batches in the last few years and never seen it turn that...

First time using US-05. Fermentation started up really quick but one thing I noticed is after 24 hours the color of the ale changed to a dramatically lighter shade. It's literally a very pale ale now! Now I've been brewing nothing but pilsners, schwarzbier and Marzen for about 2 years...

Barleywine. Hadn't thought of that. Maybe. I just came across a "Sierra Nevada Ceelbration IPA" I'm considering also. Oh and my kid will have a natural tolerance or else she's not mine!!!
