Mash at a higher temperature...156 or so.

I wonder if this is because they are having quality issues with the old model, or was there some announcement of improvements with the new model?

While I don't doubt your research, there are some counterpoints to make. JC actually addressed the CO2 stripping to me via email and told me to ferment under pressure to prevent this. I believe it was Mitch Steele who coined the term, or at least introduced it to a wide audience...

Completely understand. It was my go to for many years for a lot of beers, especially IPAs. I still use it a lot, but I also use 1318 a lot these days. Following this thread to see if I should try to expand my horizons a little further. Nothing wrong with sticking to a yeast and really getting to...

Mike - Sure. Ed - Thanks as always!

If anyone lives in Annandale, one of the group needs someone to pickup for him. Let me know if you can help him. Times have been finalized. We arrive at 10AM for splitting. Most people should plan to arrive at 11 to give us time to split as this is a big order. I need to be out of there by...

Customization is holding up well. Mine gets daily use and I have had no issues. Very happy with having capacity for three kegs as I am often finding myself with three or more beers in the pipeline. No mold or other issues with the rib removal. I did not use the bulkhead adapters...I cut a hole...

FF is a nice blend, though I find it changes pretty consistently over time due to it being a blend. It is the only hop used in On the Wings of Armageddon, which is a fantastic IIPA! I have created a few beers with it using WLP007, but think I might give it a go with 1318! Cheers!

I have emailed 3 times and not heard back...I cannot check that email from work so will look when I get home and update if I have one. Plan to send a mass email when I find out.

I will definitely go during the week. Is WED or THUR better? I think my bud in the area told me THUR might be better as they have a second set of cans run by then and you might get 3-4 different beers?

The banana and bubblegum might be like diacetyl in that some people are more sensitive to it than others? I know I have gotten both the clove and banana when brewing Hefe and Dunkels. I have a friend who is a BJCP judge who is very sensitive to diacetyl...I can't pick it out unless it is what he...

I have removed them, left them in the entire fermentation, and left them in until the keg kicks with no issues with off or grassy flavors. Others have reported the opposite. It really is a flip of the coin, but every time I have flipped it (50 times or more) it has come up heads. YMMV.

When I had keg leaks it was very obvious. Turn off the CO2 for a few days. Turn it back on. If you hear a keg filling up with gas, that is your suspect. I have my tank outside the kegerator and am in the habit of turning it off when not pouring. So I only fill up with a tiny amount of CO2 to...

Could be anywhere. Best if you can submerge equipment in water, but even that might not help. I had a regulator that was faulty and it would just vent out a lot of CO2 all at once. Just happened to be at the kegerator with a friend one day and caught it in the act. The pressure relief valve was...

Just wish I could get Veil or Ardent beers locally. Lots of local MD breweries are off the hook good as well...Cheers!

Quick update. Order went in but a few things have changed so far. They could not order torrefied wheat from Muntons so they ordered it from Crisp. He could not find Muntons MO Extra Pale on the order site. Do you want to order something else? Strange thing is it is on Munton's web site... Also...

All: Order has been sent on to the buy, all buyers have paid. I will let you know how things progress as I hear them. See you on the 10th!!

Thanks to all who sent payments on time or close to it. I have two payments that I am waiting for, so as soon as I get those in I will process the order over to three stars and we should be all set. Note: Two of you overpaid by more than a few cents and one of you underpaid by less than a...

Please check what you owe on the website carefully. So far I have one person that underpaid and two that over paid. I will send emails and refunds tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks to all that have paid up so far. We still have 10 people that have not PayPal'd me. Please take care of this by early AM as I need to finish up the paperwork and ship it to our buyer early tomorrow. I have a lot going on this weekend so I won't have time to track folks down...
