Not a brewmaster - don't even play one on TV...but: BC - PRO:crush your own (save $0.10 a pound if you buy a batch or 2 at a time, meh, but saves a buttload if you go in on *bulk grain buys!), may easily increase efficiency, grain is crushed fresh (vs. ordering from online - see *bulk grain...

Drinking with SWMBO is just another risk for infection... ...but I'm not preaching :D

Disregard the old and ancient brew gods of America ( source of all beer right?) that hint at blasphemy when mixing bier und ? Enjoy your Radler und Kolaweizen und Geiss (1/2 L dunkel, 1/2 L kola, 2 shots of Asbach Uralt - try not to snort the foam - I dare ya!) And Spaetzle (not Spezi - my...

Fence sitter no more. </joined> Thanks for the info!

Yep - and its WLP001 California Ale yeast. AHS sends 2 as they suggest pitching 2 for gravities over 1.060 (you can pitch two or make a starter) - probably a bit easier than giving instructions and including DME for a starter...

I used 2 RV water supply hoses - not rated for heat but haven't failed yet (on my IC). I just cut off the end I didn't need... Saw these in use at the last LHBS Brew Day - washer supply hoses (rated for heat...)

</comedian=off> 1st - congrats on the new boy! Makes sense now - mom with new baby and all. Maybe BIAB (brew in a bag) might help - less equipment by far - store a lot in the kettle between brews. No chill too - those fermenters Rol is using store tighter and more efficiently than the buckets I...

Anything like this? If so - it's a Green Cloverworm (moth larvae). I'd go with the hand pick method that you already used - they shouldn't reach infestation levels... On the other hand a toothpick used as a pike with the little bugger impaled near the base of the plant might...naaaah...

I think SWMBO normally refers to wives/gf's around here, not mothers... :D :mug: (Overtly research a more expensive hobby - say skydiving, muscle car restoration, day trading...:drunk:)

So 9782 + 10 = 9792 Catching mine up Apfelwein, Maerzen, IPA, English Pale, Scottish Export, Hefeweizen, Oatmeal Stout, ESB (5 G each for 40 gallons) 9792 + 40 = 9832

My father in law makes at least one batch of plum a year (6 gallon) - usually uses 1/2 bushel (~28 lbs) of fruit and 12 lbs of sugar if I recall correctly. 4 months to the bottle and 7 months to the glass. He's been making wine 40 years and still doesn't make 2 batches the exact same way - this...

(From BYO Mar/April '09) Coopers Sparkling Ale clone 7 lb 11 oz (3.5 Kg) Joe White Pilsner malt 10.6 oz (300g) Joe White wheat malt 7.0 oz (200g) CaraRed (you can sub similar malts - just play with the numbers to get the same amber color) 8.4 AAU Pride of Ringwood hops (.88 oz (25g) @ 9.5%...

Amen to that - turns out the only reason I got lucky the last time was a broken egg timer...:D

+1 on the smooth jazz - and anything on the Pink (Floyd) end of the color spectrum... (born just after the 50's...)

Also - make sure the air shutter isn't closed (or mostly closed) - if it's closed (or mostly) you'll have a mild flame for sure. Crack it open and you should get into the jet afterburner mode...

Just a note on the pot - aluminum is just fine. My 40qt cost me $24 (plus a weld-free bulkhead/ball valve). +1 on getting a kit to start with. After you brew a few you'll have an idea of what you want to upgrade (if anything) or try out.

Restrictions vary from county to county, and even within the county when considering city limits here in South Carolina. Columbia (city proper) passed Sunday off-site beer sales before the rest of Richland county passed it. Now I don't have to go on post on Sundays just to restock... Also - +1...

You could try this...

Just one if you use one of these...

You could always call it something like "In Your Eye <insert style here>"... Oh, and +1 on the telling her to swa...never mind :D
