Yeah I had the thought go through my head that it would really suck to clean all of that off. It does really aid in the appearance but I am guessing you only would do this on very good beers.

Wow thanks for posting that is quite the poster I may have to order one!

This is the exact reason why I started buying low calorie foods and dressings. Eat a little better so you can drink a little more. I may have to cut back my intake a bit seeing as I can go through 5 gallons in a couple of weeks depending on how much time I actually spend at home.

Ha Ha at least someone accepted and knew that the sud light needed something extra. Too bad you didn't get her to start drinking good craft brews.

Wow very impressive looking well done indeed! Just one question though why the wax dipped bottles? I have seen this before but it seems as if it is really just about the presentation of the whole thing?

ooo fancy built in airlock! You could contact them and ask them what it is used for in particular.

Oh is that little port really a valve though? Seems like it would be a pretty good container but does it need to be food grade?

No it should be fine. I can't think of any reason that this would hurt anything. One other thing to consider is the fact that you can add half the lme at the specified time and the other half near the end at around 15 minutes. Doing this can reduce the chance of your brew turning out darker...

My tips that I would have liked the first time I brewed would be watch the boil the entire time when you start brewing, until you get a feel for how your stove or burner heats and maintains the boil. Also if you are not using an immersion chiller than get a lot of ice for an ice bath. I.E. a...

So how many days have you actually had it lagered? I find that most of my beers taste fairly green until I have them at low temps for at least 1-2 weeks. After I have my beers kegged and chilled for about 3 weeks they taste even better. But this is just what I have experienced so far.

I made this kit last year and I really enjoyed it. As others have said smooth and good flavor without any overpowering coffee flavor. For more really good reviews go look at NB's site because they have a load of reviews and almost every one of their kits are 5 star rated.

Dead ringer IPA and a 2000 ml starter (yesterday)

You have never had a successful batch?!? What do you consider unsuccessful? Are you all grain or extract?

Yeah I would certainly say so with how many members continue to join HBT

Cream Ale- Which has only been in for 3 weeks and is 3/4 gone already.

It could add that extra old and refined taste you are looking for :D

Ha Ha I always clean before brewing and kegging because I just couldn't brew in a dirty space (because I have so much crap that goes everywhere)

Maybe use a handcart? They even have hand carts that have belts that ride on stairs as you pull them up and if it works for moving a fridge I don't see why it wouldn't work for a carboy.

For the next two days at Northern Brewer when you buy a used keg kit and type in promo code kegfreebuckets you get two free buckets. Just thought I'd put that out there especially if someone is looking to buy another keg free stuff is always awesome.

Ha Ha I love how we have already reached over 5000 Gallons and it is just the start of the second month of the year! I cannot wait to see how high we get this year!
