Small business is a yoga studio (keeps the gf happy). However, I have seriously been considering ditching it so that I can do what I enjoy. Also thought about turning it into a home brew store (closest one to me is over an hour away), but the space just doesn't suit it unfortunately :/

Don't know/care about the politics, but I do think that in it's price range VAS is pretty good. Not excellent, however I do feel like it has the potential to improve with age. Have a few bottles under the house waiting to hit their prime... hopefully :P

I'm all about oxyclean. Stuff is amazing! "Billy Mays here with another fantastic product!"

100% citra IPA. Thought it was my first contaminated beer until I did some research and found out that it what it should taste like. I'll never use cotra as a bittering hop again.

Unfortunately just mead right now...2 carboys with 4.5 gallons each that has been aging 6 months. Just oaked one and pomegranated the other. Bottling next week... then another 6 months of bottle conditioning. God I hope I have time to brew soon!

When you design your next brew stand in class instead of listening to your instructor tell you exactly what will be on the next exam... I managed to re-learn trig during anatomy. My next stand will be epic and novel!

I finally have about 10% of the equipment I want... you know, MM2-Pro, 20 gallon pot brew stand, 2x chest freezers turned fermentation chambers, keggerator, 5x carboys and 1x keg fermenter, etc. all I need now is a temp controlled conex, 10 or so jacketed conicals, 30 tap keggerator, you get the...

Apparently I am either a total alcoholic (I think I'm only a mild alcoholic at 1-2 beers a day) or I am WAY poorer than the rest of you. I am currently suffering through comically bad beer, eight 12 packs to start, 2 to go. I call it the ATPA - Ash Tray Pale Ale. It was a very unfortunate lesson...

Nevermind. Can't figure out how to delete this though.

I'm wanting to buy a hop spider, but unsure of make/ size to get. I do between 5 and 15 gallon all grain batches in a 20 gallon pot. Thanks for any input/ experience you have!

I just hit my first year and have quite a ways to go, but I'm to about 40 good bottles and 20 more ok bottles. Don't have a picture of my other tub. I was stoked when I realized it had been a year and I was able to purchase my first 2nd generation bottles! Edit: After going through all 42 pages...

I've been thinking about doing a build with a window AC unit, but have been wondering about a couple things. Do you have some sort of out vent? I keep thinking that in a space that small something weird could go on trying to blow air in with no where for it to go. Do you have any issues with...

It will likely be sold in a year or so. I like making stands too much, keeping coming up woth new designs I want to try. Don't get me wrong, I love brewing, but I love making stands more!

Never sold this model. As soon as I finished it my girlfriend and I bought a yoga studio and I don't have time to make stands anymore :( Would probably have been $1600-$2000, I never bothered to put together a price list since I don't have time to make them anymore. This one has a lot of extras...

Do you know the model number or what section of the website it's in? Looked there and didn't see it. Thanks.

Natural gas? Stove top? either can be replaced by fire :)

Sounds like while we are detoxing you will still be brewing after the apocalypse ;) Something to be said for gravity feed. Don't even need propane really, can probably just get good at controlling a fire... I think I need your address, or at least your post apocalypse bunker address, haha

I too am having issues where my probe and thermometer seem to correlate at lower temps, but differ at higher temps, and then correlate again at boiling. I just found this thread and plan to mess with some settings mentioned here, but seems odd that temps match low and high but not midrange...

I'm looking for just a readout that will work with rtd sensors. I want to check temperatures at various points in my system and compare to where I currently have my sensor. Looking for the least expensive, yet still accurate piece I can get. I've found a few on ebay that are advertised as being...

I have a good amount of honey sitting around and am looking for good recipies that have honey in them. I have my first batch of mead aging, I habe a ryePA that I used honey in fermenting, I have all the fixings for a wheat beer that I will be adding honey to during fermentation, but there is...
