So i got a new better bottle with the carry handle and this is my first time using it. I already thought it was an awful flimsy design after first getting it and comparing how it is attached to pictures online. I used it today while brewing, had a perfect brew session and didnt make any mess...

Update again, turned off the burner and touch the metal on the stand two minutes later and its already back to cool temp, I think it works for sure.

So far so good! Performing perfectly.

I actually just built my stand and had concern about this happening, and it looks like we have the same burner, see attached pics. I used screws as a buffer and used bent sheet metal from HD, put six screws across 15"-16" space ends and middle, drilled a hole in the middle at the ends and middle...

They do breath you poke holes in the finger tips with a pin or nail so it slowly releases gas but I do like the loose lid idea

Yeah I've got a few boxes of them from my old job and I just put them in the Sanitizer bucket and make sure they fill up once or twice, very available to me. Putting the lid on loosely is another good one now that I think about it, enough room for the lid just to break the seal and release...

Ah the old "erk & jerk" as they called it in college haha ill have to get one of those 1 gallon jugs full of wine or something that way if i pay for it I at least get to drink it :)

Don't know if anyone has done this yet or posted about it before but I decided to instead of purchase a flask or any starter kits or anything, i was going to make my own. This is my second time using it and it works perfectly using a 24oz mason jar and a glove mason jar, glove...

impressive, love it. ill have five full by tuesday, ill check back then with a photo

watch the brew master video on discovery about the ethiopian beer they made where they had to manually chew corn kernels in their mouths, spit it out and made some sort of beer. gross but they opened a keg and served it in the brew pub for patrons and made them well aware of the brew process...

is it in a basement? near a small dehumidifier or something? that would dry it out in 9 days depending on the size of the room.

yeah she actually came into the brewery (middle bedroom) yesterday and sat there and spit balled ideas with me for like 20 mins, i wash shocked, shes come around haha, we even discussed shelving ideas and equipment, reeeeelllling her in!

Ok so I got a huge crab feast coming up in August and I am trying to brew something for it, not sure what yet, i have some ideas but I wanted to see what the rest of the community thinks. Im thinking something summer-y and about 6.5% abv. idears? ive got about two months to brew, ferment and...

yeah as far as i understand, just dont leave a ton of head space above it depending on the size of the batch or it could oxidize, my barleywine is going to sit for months without issue so its fine for 2-3 or almost any beer

I guess ill have that 3 gallon carboy tied up for quite a while then.....Time to buy another one, and I just dropped another $100 on midwest this morning...hopefully the lady friend doesn't see the packages, she just notices the middle bedroom or "brewery" gets a little more cluttered each week...

i picked up this thermo from amazon with free shipping thanks to prime, i had the same issue with getting probes wet on my maverick sets. its absolutely awesome, for extract brewing anyway... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JEKSLA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

When you Google it all grain pops up first and extract version is second link, at least when i checked a moment ago, I know barleywine takes time usually so i was going to bottle and let it sit for quite a few months anyway but since it already tasted decent out of the primary i will for sure...

middle bedroom, constant 68-72 and no more or less. i dont lager because i am not set up for it yet so it is perfect for ales.

Thanks all, and im well aware of Flying Barrel, awesome place, free range picking and the people are very helpful. I have been frequenting that place more and more!

Google gravity bomb barleywine, its in extract form but I'm sure you can convert it using beer smith or something. I have it in secondary now for 3 weeks with oak cubes and then bottling. Tasted it when i transferred from primary and it tasted awesome already minus the heavy booze kick on the...
