    Costco FTW

    Costco has a great sale going on for Super Bowl Sunday. They had 3L bottles of Chimay Blue for $74. They had more craft and Belgiums than I've ever seen there. The Coors light chicks were there with the Home Draft system for $15.99 and free super bowl pint glasses (6 per customer). I...

    A gallon of bleach to clean my well?

    ajdelange is spot on. I have to do this procedure every 8-12 months. My water system gets a bacteria that produces sulphur smells when it builds up in our pipes. You should determine the right amount of bleach to use, I gallon is too much. I have a really deep well and I use 4 cups to...

    Efficiency woes wtf!

    This is a fairly common question here, for other answers you might want to do a search. Efficiency issues are commonly a grind or sparge issue. Do you take first runnings, split the sparge in two, heat the sparge up to bring the grain bed up to 170, mix first one really well, wait 10 min...

    A warning for all March pump owners

    Are you sure it was on the impeller side? Since it's magnetically coupled I don't "think" it will seize the motor if it's totally stopped. How well do you have the motor part shielded? It would be hard for me to grab the motor under my liquid shielding.

    Help with Logo

    Coy on this site helped me with mine. They are reasonably priced, but not sure if they are still doing it. I tried emailing them a couple times and got no response. They took a picture of my cat and did this logo for me. I even asked them to keep the crop on his ear, since he was rescued...

    My well water report

    Your water looks pretty good for lighter beers. You will want to up some of the salts for darker beers. Use this calculator, put in your current water, select your beer type and the volume of liquor you will need. It will give you the appropriate mineral additions. I'd much rather have...

    my 15 gal conical

    I'm working with these inductor tanks today. They have a REALLY strong plastic odor when you open them up. I'm sure the plastic is still degassing. Has anyone detected a plastic taste or smell to their first beer fermented in them?

    UPS.... You're stupid.

    FedEx GROUND, notice the branding on the truck. There is definitely a difference, like they are two different companies.

    UPS.... You're stupid.

    Only FedEx ground drivers are subcontractors. It explains why FedEx Air service is sooo much better. I saw a UPS driver pull up to my gate with a clear 'call' button on a goose neck. Get out, slap a missed sticker on the gate and leave. Didn't press the call button, nothing. Oh yeah...

    Cascade Dark Ale

    This looks like a great beer, I've been looking for a CDA recipe. I'd say the most unusual feature is mashing at 170 for an hour. I'm thinking that might be a typo?

    Rambler Owl Rye Amber Ale

    Ubermick and I brewed this yesterday. Color is great and we got around 1.060 OG, so it should be close to the original. Update in a few weeks on how it came out, the US05 has kicked off nicely this morning. Fermenting down in the mid 60s to keep it clean.

    Grandma's Boys Brewing Co. logo

    The guys did a good job on the logo. Like the lipstick on the coffee cup.

    That's gonna leave a mark!

    I think it's why it isn't fake. Either the shell or the breach was defective and it fired on closing. If you look at it in slowmo , you can see the guys helmet coming off and him twisting badly. The shockwave from the unplanned firing would explain why nobody freaked in the 1/2 second of...

    Head retention suffers when using Whirlfloc?

    I've used Whirlfloc in most of my beers and have never had a head retention issue. Last beer I forgot the Carapils and it still has an awesome thick head. I won't use the Fermcap since I believe that stuff should be in ****s not beer. Just a personal thought, with no facts or experiences...

    Sierra Nevada Hoptimum

    Not sure if it's rare here in the North Bay, but Bottle Barn has a load of it. I picked up a couple bottles of it today.

    AHS Magic Hop Dust

    Powder at the bottom, like magic dust. Shake is normally the fine leaves that are trimmed from the flowers and because of the whole sticky thing they don't drop. You literally 'shake' them off and because they are so close to the flower my friend says they have more goodness than just the...
