I've read people steam clean deiseal stainless tanks from rigs with strong detergent and re-use for drinking water safely. but i don't know the exact process or if pesticides changes anything. I wouldn't use them for beer post washing until I had water sitting in them for a bit then tested...

I have 2 3 gallon kegs i normally put in a rolling cooler for parties and lake house vacations. well the party thing was a bust last summer. but, they aren't cheap and the 4 packs of used kegs some of the online places offer sell out by the time I see the email and they don't seem to happen...

are there always bull shoots? My Hartwhick had 3ft bull shoots then shoots that came up later that were only a few inches. I chopped the 3 ft ones this week and they were hollow. the second batch, I trimmed one and it was solid. so I left them. My Arcadians came up the same time as the second...

I was going to go with Pressure treated 16' 4x4's then saw the price. I'm now going with 16' 2x6's ripped down the middle and nailed together. half the cost. My harbor freight auger will go a little over 2 1/2 ft with the 4" diameter attachment. I put rocks or gravel in the bottom then pour dry...

My bull shoots are over a ft. With more poking out everywhere in their box this yr. Ill cut them back end of the month.

my hartwick and arcadian are on their 3rd yr i think and I have them boxed in and they are popping out in the corners of the planter box. I doubt they will go another 4 inches and start pushing through the stone simply because the 3 landscaping timbers are cold compared to the sun heated mulch...

i have 3rd yr sorachi ace, fuggle, and cascade i hope will finally do something this yr. last yr i had to move them in the spring so i got very little hops. the first yr they struggled.

I go an oz of each for orange and coriander to make it pop and will sometimes make an orange peel tea to add if more is needed. i don't dry hop this. everyone loves it and it goes quick. but i have a new 25 gallon pot so i should be able to biab up 15 gallons of this so i have spare kegs. it...

Time to make some more of this to prepare for summer! I think this yr I will switch to crystalized citrus instead of homebrew extracts. Amazon sells packets of True crystalized lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange in 32 packet boxes or 25g of the stuff. Northern brewer includes 18g of the stuff...

I bought an RV-hose also. I run from the kitchen faucet through the window, through a hole in the screen the dog made. then put a towel on it to stop most of the cold in the winter time. :)

so, just tapped this keg. it's still a little flat but this is tasting like a very dangerous beer. it's so easy drinking you would never guess it was 9%.

ha! I was covering up the grill last night and thought..."hey, this would fit over my brew rack".

what these guys said. bubbles in the beer line to the tap was almost always a bad o-ring. the only other time was when some blueberry got caught in the poppit on my blueberry wheat.

ground grain and mashed in on my lunch today. I keep majority of my brewing equipment in a large round garbage can from walmart outside. everything stays dry. sometimes spiders nest under the brim but they are no bother. only thing not in the can is my brew pot. I wish I had a garage.

I’ve not made an arcadian beer yet. Guess I better make on to see how it goes.

I've been working from since april I think. Yet only thought of this last week. duh. Crush my grains and mash in on my lunch break. After i'm done working, yank the bag, give it a squeeze and start the boil. Makes for an easy brew day. I do chill while cleaning up if it isn't too late. I have a...

I no longer use anything to clean my kettle. i spray it down post boil and run a kitchen brush around the inside to get the matter out then flip it upside down to dry until the next batch. i'm boiling it for 60+ mins. I realized there really is no need to use anything to clean it.

Genny tasted better after it chilled and carbed. My friends thought it was ok and drank it. Nothing amazing. I picked up a corn taste I just did not like. I'm screwed something up. Pretty sure the 60 min addition ctz hops needed bumping up Due to age or just dumped. Ill make a gallon batch...

my lab hound mix is the same way. whenever I make biscuits out of spent grain and PB she will stand under the cabinet i keep them in until I give her a few. visitors ask if i giver her attention because she is right there looking to get pet. I spend a quarter of my work day scratching her behind...

ok, OG 1.079 FG 1.010 ABV% higher than expected. I wonder if letting the mash sit for a few hrs while I left the house for an errand has something to do with the increased efficiency. I have to say though, the hydro sample tasted amazing. the pumpkin and spice is there but not overly. I'll...
