Found the problem after borrowing a friends Red Baron. They shipped it with the wrong bell size. It's a size between the 29mm European bell and the standard 26.5mm bell.

I put all 5 gallons of edworts apfelwine in 500ml beer bottles that I use for my hefeweized. Went to cap them with a new Red Baron capper and none would crimp on properly. Tried other 12oz bottles, recycle bottles, different caps made sure I didn't have the 29mm bell on. Checked the 2 steel...

Start watching this at 10:30 talking about the nutrients in beer and the discovery of tetracycline (Antibiotic) in Egyptian beer. While this video has points of humor it does have some great points in beer. I'm currently a non traditional student earning my business admin mgt major degree...

I just got done milling 10lbs of 2row and 10lbs of red wheat. Red wheat was pretty tough and would stop the drill if it wasn't going wide open. The only way I would grind by hand is if it was the end of the world with no power, no other people, and I couldn't train a zombie to do it for me...

Eh, they guy bailed on buying it. His loss since I have all my gear and no longer want to sell it. Looks like the best deal we will get maybe is going to be December 17th Free internet shipping day if any brew supplies places participate.

Been taking a Brewing Science class since September at college. Picked out my home brew setup for all grain a while ago, just had to spread out the funds. 10Gal cooler mash tun, HLT and some other stuff already here. The rest of the band just showed up to play. Had to get a cheese making kit...

Friend used to say, "Drinking near beer is like having sex with your sister....just F%$#ing wrong!

With all the self improvements I'm surprised some northerner has not adapted an old snowmobile motor and clutch and dubbed it "Man Mill". Could you imagine an 800cc 200hp Mod motor with pipes and throttle control cranking grain at 6500 rpm at only half throttle? Wonder how long it would take the...

I have a couple new Rockwells for my cordless drills but I wanted a good corded drill and was disappointed in the store. I wound up buying a couple of rebuilt vintage corded drills for way cheap off of ebay. One I have is WWII era and is way overbuilt for what I'll ever use it for and expect it...

I just ordered a Blichmann myself and I was looking at pots from $100 on up. Here are a couple things where it boiled down to in no particular order. Some may seem trivial but with my own personal workings with stainless steel products and passion with cooking and cookware. 1. Handles- To me...

Only place we buy Cinnamon anymore is directly from Penzeys spices. They have a retail store in Omaha and peddle sever different types and all sizes....I mean all sizes. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyscinnamon.html

Nice 8 Gal container he also combines shipping up to two. http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Gallon-Barrell-Open-Top-Clamp-/190708885327?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6722a74f he just ran out of these but I would maybe look for him to come back with some of these 13 gallon containers...

I have only got 3 brews under my belt all in a local college brewing class. I brew a Black Ale and Pale ale because that's what the professors commanded. I was stationed in Germany for a couple years so I knew the flavors of bocks and hefeweizen really well. I really have not found a good fresh...

I hung up my pro status years ago. Think I went two years without drinking more than maybe a bottle of wine. Those several years of hard drinking took a little toll that I'm seeing now. Uric Acid kidney stone former now (Usually formed by legumes, poultry, yeast and alcoholic beverages.) After...

I wound up pulling the trigger on a 15gal Blichmann and burner from AHB last night. At $30 more for the 20gal it is a bargain in cost difference but overkill for 5 gallon batches.

I just got this 10gal mash tun from AHB http://www.homebrewing.org/10-Gallon-Converted-Igloo-Cooler-Mash-Tun-With-False-Bottom_p_1006.html Used coupon code SHOPFRND12 to get 10% off. I was going to build one myself but by the time I got just the cooler, decent false bottom and shipping I was...

I don't know how cans can be cheaper. Disposable container vs having to just buy bottle caps. Don't know where you can find equipment for it but the only people I have heard use them were having to order at a minimum 4-5yrs worth and the can sealer was pricey too...

Almost forgot. Ripped Fuel works wonders with a hangover in the morning.

Back when I used to drink a bar stool a night I used to prefer Crown and Diet for liquer to minimize hangovers and for beer alternate a glass of water between beers. If that's not possible drink a big glass of water at least an hour before going to bed/passing out. (don't really want to lay down...
