Once got yeast starters mixed up and accidentally pitched Hefe yeast into imperial stout wort. So gross.

Portishead - Dummy Sounds great on vinyl.

22 gallon batch of session IPA today. 16 + 22 = 38

The sunrise a couple of days ago over Lake Superior's north shore

Last time I was at a RR, I found the beer selection to be underwhelming and the burgers to be just average. Not bad, but not good. As we were about to pay, my girlfriend accidentally ripped a large fart on the vinyl booth seat, which served to amplify it... So between the meh food and beer and...

Well, mine is pretty complex... I brew, my name is Brad, and I was born in 82. Yeah, pretty terrible on the creative front. But I do enjoy Monty Python and Tim the Enchanter is one of the best characters, so that is my avatar. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Be sure that there is sufficient oil in the crankcase. There is a sensor in there that will kill the ignition circuit if the oil level is low. As a new engine, you will want to change the oil either way.

Look at gooseneck tower shanks. Instead of the beverage tubing coming straight out, the goosenecks point the barb straight down to give you a lot more room to work with.

BTW, that is not a Taprite regulator. That is a Chudnow.

I'm 3 years, 3 months and 4 days of being smoke free. I missed it for a few weeks, then got over it pretty quickly. Its amazing how much better I feel, how much better I can taste things, and I quickly realized how nose-blind I had been. Boy does cig smoke stink! I'm never going back.

Welcome to the group, from Minneapolis as well!

Only the brown ones are referred to as jimmies, the colored ones are still called sprinkles. At least in the parlance of the upper midwest...

Heat a coffee mug of water in the microwave to near boiling. Soak the ends of the tubing in the hot water to soften it up and then push it over the barbs.

Those are the burner tips themselves.

If doing the extract version, a 15 min boil is perfectly fine. If all-grain, you still want to boil for the full hour to volatilize DMS precursors. If you boil the all-grain version for only 15 mins, you will most likely have a bit of DMS in the final beer.

Perhaps look into aluminum extrusion sliders. They should easily handle the weight.

Fill the kettle with water and boil for an hour. See how much you lose. Edit: I missed mongoose's last line above. Half hour boil works too if you do the multiplier.

Your thinking assumes that water and Go Ferm have the same density. I highly doubt a liter of Go Ferm weighs 1kg.
