    You know you're a home brewer when?

    When you drive by the Miller/Coors plant and dream of what you could do in there over a long weekend. I also wish one of the trains carrying their grain would breakdown on the tracks behind my shop long enough for me to get a few hundred pounds. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew Talk while...

    Rant about a noob

    Brewed my first batch in 1996 but didn't start serious all grain till 1998. Not that extract brewers are not serious as some of the best brews I've had have been extract. (With the sensitivity of some in this group I felt the need to clarify "serious") So yes, I won pretty early in my brewing...

    DIY Tap Handle conversion

    Get the JB out. Find a piece of brass, aluminum or copper round stock that will fit tightly up into the barrel of the pistol. Then drill and tap a 3/8-16 into it. WahLa! I did this with WhiteLab vials it took 1" diameter aluminum round stock that I put in the lathe and turned it down to 7/8...

    Rant about a noob

    To answer the question if his beer is better than mine. The first batch he brewed it was with me on my equipment and we both brewed the same batch using the same grain, hops, yeast and mash/brew schedule but I was there the entire time holding his hand. They turned out the same as they should...

    Iowa 3.87 Gal Schlitz Keg

    The hole in the bottom is in the wrong place for it to be a firkin or a pin. I really think it's a Golden Gate keg personally. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew Talk while driving.

    WTB- Welding Services in Central/Northern Georgia

    The main reason was the valves still thread in to the fittings. If I still was going to have threads I figured if I ever wanted to change it over to something else I could. I've had no leaks and the weldless was about $5 cheaper. I'd spend more than that in argon, filler rod, electricity and my...

    Base grain 50# sacks, which ones?

    I'm paying $39.50 for 2 row by the sack. I buy a bag when I get down to 20lbs as my grain container holds 70lbs. I'm going to start buying my smaller bill grains by the bag as well since I have sealable containers to keep them fresh in. I'll also sell to brew buddies at my cost just so we can...

    I think that is a Golden Gate style keg. I've got a Hoff Stevens and it looks different. Wish I had a use for it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew Talk while driving.

    6 Gallons of beer + 5 gallon carboy = mess on the kitchen floor and 1 upset SWMBO. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew Talk while driving.

    I'm a welder and can weld sanitary stainless but when I built mine I used Weldless fittings. I did this for a few reasons and am very happy with the set up. I'm about 6 hours from you if you really want it welded but I'd go with Weldless Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew Talk while driving.

    Rant about a noob

    We are close but his attitude is everything he has or does is always bigger and better than everyone else. I think he's insecure about himself. It just rubbed me the wrong way is all. Most of the replies here have been inspiring others have been jerks and truthfully added nothing to the...

    Rant about a noob

    I've been brewing for more than a decade and a half and I feel like I still learn from every batch. I recently got a buddy into the hobby and his third batch is in primary now. He sends me a message yesterday saying that his beer is better than mine and was quite cocky about it. I'm all about...
