Might make more sense and less bother to use the hump for 3 gallon kegs.

A most handy tool!

Good price w/shipping. I typically only use DME for starters, so the Golden is fine. Had a mixed Amazon cart ready to go anyway, so added a bag. Description is a bit laughable ... headline and photo say 3 lb., Item Package Weight says 1 lb., and Product Information says "Item Weight 0.01 oz."

I've cloned yeast from commercial bottles that I'm sure have survived warm temperatures and extended shelf time. Assume that the yeast is pretty pure though without the trub, etc., that would be found in a homebrew.

3522 has been my house Belgian strain for some time. I like the balance of the esters & phenols, especially in blondes (which is what I brew most often). I've sometimes seen WY3522 Ardennes & WLP510 Bastogne listed as options in recipes (since they both originated from the Ardennes region, I...

The extra membership for my wife to attend has irked me too.

Pandora/Prime channels are most often 80's rock, Tom Petty, Bare Naked Ladies, etc. with an occasional Zac Brown Band thrown in for variety.

Have been brewing with a friend who has a smallish kegerator but wanted more varieties on tap and bought a couple of Oxebars. Have never noticed a plastic taste, but the screw caps do need to be torqued down (I rim the lip with keg lube for a bit of insurance). The silicone elbow for the down...

I used to do the "wet t-shirt and fan" process for summer basement lagers with WY2124 and they turned out well, even though I doubt if the actual fermentation temperature got below 60F. I'd expect 34/70 to have similar performance. Have done a number of Lutra "lagers" as well, and enjoyed them...

I've used the Schill malt a couple of time in other beers, but it's too dark to serve as a base for a kolsch. At somewhere around 4L it's a bit dark for even Vienna malt. It would probably be a good secondary addition to a kolsch recipe.

I did a Festbier last fall under pressure at 68F basement temp with WLP833 (4th pitch). Turned out well.

Great Lakes Brewing Dortmunder Gold and Burning River Pale Ale were both around in 1990 (Gold medal at GABF for Dortmunder that year).

Agree, not sure if it's eyesight or what, but I could never match up the pH strips with the color key. I also have a Milwaukee 101 meter, but mostly use RO water and once a recipe is dialed in the meter typically remains on the shelf. If I were starting again I'd probably get a less expensive...

Agree with Brooothru ... San Pancho, your offer was above and beyond. I would hate to have you go through all of the trouble and like Brooothru, I've got an order in from BrewHardware (though the word must be out ... limit of one for my order). I should grow it up and learn how to freeze ...

I just checked Yeastman on the 835 German X which is one of my favorite yeasts. It's marked as "Sold Out" at the homebrew level and no reservations are being accepted. I ran through a pseudo purchase for a pack of 835X ProPitch which had a proposed shipping date of mid-Feb, at the cost of...

Check on the Hops Direct 10% discount if you happen to be a veteran.

Prefer my own because I'm a brewer of the classic styles, and few craft breweries within driving range make an honest attempt at helles, pils, dunkel, etc. (and calling your beer one does not make it so).

Hopcraft Supply (often have 24hr. delivery from MI to OH, flat shipping fee), Rite Brew (great prices & malt discounts over 10#), Label Peelers (dry yeast ships free via USPS), Great Fermentations (flat or free shipping) & More Beer (flat or free shipping). Hops vary according to variety and...

Perfect groundwork for future science fair presentations.

My wife is a steady bread baker, but a little spent grain goes a very long way. Most ends up in the compost for the garden
