Didn’t quote me but I have the same setup. I originally drilled my own #7 stopper with 2 holes but was worried how jagged they were so I ended up ordering a pre-made one off of amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KP4D0K2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Awesome, thanks! PM sent.

Thanks! I used to live in CT so I'll have to get up to MA next time I visit. Sounds great! Thanks!

Hard to describe besides medicinal but definitely not metallic. It brought me back to being a kid taking cough medicine, both flavor and aroma. That has since faded though and its tasting pretty good now. I ended up giving my bucket another long soak with oxy clean and that did the trick as...

Yeah they are off in the bigger ones too. I'm not sure if it's just a giant mistake or if they think they are giving us some kind of way to hit our target volumes after trub loss. I.E. fill wort to 2.5 gallon mark and though it's off, when you rack you actually end up with 2.5 gallons of beer...

If I had a podcast I would have dropped any of their adds after AB/Inbev bought them out. I don't shop there anymore.

I always brew out in my driveway. Most neighbors know I brew now but I always get a kick out of people that don't, wondering what I'm doing. In my old neighborhood, the first time I met my one set of neighbors was when I was brewing and they decided to bring over jello shots and introduce...

Digging up this old thread because I just racked my first batch from my new SS fermenter. I had the black ring and after cleaning was left with this dark staining. Will the steps followed in this thread remove these stains? Also, does anyone think this reaction from oils could have caused a...

I'm sure someone will come along with more/better info but I just started brewing with 100% RO. I fill two 5 gallon jugs from a dispenser and instead of dealing with treating only the water that will be used I treat all 10 gallons. The waste is pretty minimal. All I've done so far is a tsp of...

40 degrees. Perfect night for a Farnsworth Street in the hot tub.

I use BeerAlchemy. I love the iPhone app but what I love more is that I can sync it to my Mac laptop too so both are always up to date with the same info. It is a little pricey but worth it for me considering I can hardly even stand to look at a lot of other softwares UI.

Once I was brewing the the brutal cold so I was sitting as close to my burner as possible during any heating stages. At one point my buddy looked down and asked what was smoking. It was my jeans which now had two nice burn holes in them. My feet sure were warm though.

True, it really wasn't that much time that passed and they were at least refrigerated. Still, best practices usually have me getting them in something as air-tight as possible for any type of storage. I still have some left of that bag, I was thinking of tossing them but maybe I'll just give...

I used Imperial's Stefon which is their Hefe yeast so I'd expect a little clove but this is over the top, it's all I can smell/taste and again, it popped up overnight. Temps were controlled between 64-68. Update: had to test the gravity again so had another small taste and the medicinal quality...

That's what I was most afraid of but I use RO water and don't clean with any bleach. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I used 5oz of citra at 13.3% aa. They were fresh but I got rushed at the end of the brew day so they got rolled up and tossed in the fridge, just in their packaging between brew day and dry-hop day, which of course is not a technique I'd typically use. I hope your right and it mellows.

I have some beer fermenting and I took a gravity sample on Wednesday, had a little taste and it was as expected. Then I added dry-hops. Tested gravity again yesterday and when I tried a little sip it was very medicinal. I've done a search but didn't get my exact questions answered so I'm making...

Awesome! Hope you enjoy them! Here's my list. Russian River IPAs Surly Drekker Modern Times New Glarus Monkish Toppling Goliath Alchemist Burlington Beer Or if anyone wants to jump in with any good IPAs you can get locally, I'm up for anything and stuff I've never heard of would be great! Can...

This happens to me all the time. I send the company a bunch of money, get some nice new equipment, then say "look honey, I won another constest!" Congratulations for real though, that's an awesome prize.

Interested in the chugger and possibly the blichman. DM me what you're asking!
