Lead is common in garden hoses, especially the cheap, non-rubber ones. I would personally refrain from using them

I find that it's convenient just to lay out all of my equipment the night before and walk into the kitchen in the AM and start brewing.

Whatever you do, do it quickly cuz grains get quite stinky, quite fast. I have had some frozen for a couple months with the intent of using them for bread, but not sure if I'll get around to it or if they stay for that long frozen.

Turned out a little drier than i had hoped, with minimal flavor added from the malt. Back to the drawing board...

For $140 I would grab it. I just picked up 2 bottles of the 2009 for 170 each and I'm in the local area of the brewery. With that said, I'm definitely partial to liking BBC since I am a local, having visited the brewery several times. I have seen just the empty bottles going for $50+ on ebay in...

This is the King cone of my first year glaciers!

True! I've tried a few and there isn't much caramel flavor so maybe I'll try your method this season.

I'm thinking about a build that could have a SS coupler welded into a keg to screw a heating element into. Anyone seen one of these??

It is getting pretty tasty but I will tell you for sure in October!

Beer-wine does have the barrels, but Modern Brewer does have better prices and knowledge of beer brewing.

I'd like to build a HERMS, but don't have the option of using 240V. What size heating element would I need to get water in a HLT up to 175 degrees?

I am looking for a couple of charts, possibly a .pdf format, that lists all the hop and grain varietes and other details about each (i.e. substitutes, flavors, bitterness) to post up in my brewing area. Anybody have links or files that may be of use???

It has decent carbonation. No head, as expected for cider but I intend to age this until this fall so hopefully it will be nicely carbed next time i crack one!

What are the chances you could share some of your VB code with us and explain your whole setup on the first rig? I'd love to build something like it.

I used one with a valve installed to do a couple full boils. It does get very close to boiling over and doesn't hold the 7.75 gallons with the top cut. I'm going to use it as a HLT now that I have acquired a 1/2 barrel.

I believe THESE would solve your problem.

The silicon washers seam like a better route than o-rings. Wonder why I haven't seen more posts on them here???

Is that the famous "Bobby Orr flying-through-the-air-after-winning-the-Stanley-Cup" photo hanging up? I have one of those, now I just need a bar to hang it in. Excellent build Dude:mug:

There was discussion of this on a very recent thread by Bobby_M. This thread was started as a result I believe...
