I have a buddy that does landscaping, he had to work next door to this house and he had the creeps the entire time. Wasn't happier than when that job was done!

You Europeans and your funny electrical setups, ;) that's actually pretty cool. Funny how things we take for granted are so different between countries. We can't really get (unless you want to pay big bucks or have a large electrical service) breakers with different trip sensitivity. If you...

Don't forget to divide by .8 to find the actual breaker size, which in this case would be 49.6A, rounded up to 50A. If you don't, expect to replace the not too cheap 40A three phase breaker in a year or two when you could have just got a 50A and been good for life. Another way to do it would be...

My keg has waves in it when I move it using the power of my arms. If I have three kegs and move them all, do I have three phase power? How many elements can I heat with my three phase waves? Do I have to multiply or divide the rms of the wave height by root 3? Or am I just getting confused?

Third the sub panel, and oversize it. If people plan on using their garage a lot, I recommend they put in at least 100A sub panel. It's far better to pay the extra few bucks now than be running inside and resetting breakers when your compressor kicks in while the mash is just coming to a boil...

I didn't ask if you wanted a larger pen*s, I wasn't spamming. And I wasn't dissing your beer, I happen to agree that a nice light beer on a hot day is good. And because of your recipe I'm trying to figure out an all grain equivalent for the masses. But it's not the best beer you can make...

I think what Alan is meaning is there are three factors in any project. Cost, quality, or speed. You can only ever have two in any project you undertake, and the third factor suffers. This beer is quick and cheap, but not the best quality.

If the grains have had a ton of their carbs converted and drained, is there much for nutrients besides helping you keep regular?

+1 on the garden, mix it in right away and it aerates the soil as well as adds nutrients and water holding capacity (I think on the last one, it's what I was told anyway). I guess it depends how much you brew. Probably don't want to do it more than once every few months.

Yep, that's correct.

Yep, how long did you have the beer in the primary/secondary before you kegged? The time I had that issue, the beer was in the primary for a month, but it was a little low on the fermenting temp range (it was in my basement). Still within reason, but low. When I kegged, the yeast must still have...

I ran into this once when I didn't fully use a secondary and racked right into the keg from primary. The readings said it was done, but I was getting a couple psi every couple days. I brought it back up to room temperature for a week, bled the co2, and everything was good. Not sure if this is...

It doesn't sound like a terrible deal as long as everything else is in working order. Just expect to toss the fridge. Best case scenario you will have to clean out the radiator on the back or maybe get a fridge recharge kit for another $50. I wouldn't even bother trying though. Just toss it and...

So if I'm understanding this correctly, gelatization essentially accomplishes the same thing malting does except through a different chemical process? Would you be able to "malt" oats?

My wife has a flour mill so we have various whole grains sitting around the house. I made an oatmeal stout, which worked out very nicely if I may say so myself, and rather than use flaked oats, I ran some hulled oats through my barley crusher and threw them in my mash. I have since learned...

You know, I must say, my first post was meant to be sarcastic, but after reading for a while, I've been humbled by the realization that I have become a little over-zealous. Thank you HBT for slapping me over the head a little and woken me to my own *********gery. I didn't even see it.

This thread is hilarious, and depressing all at the same time.

It seems friends fall into two categories, those that become beer snobs with you and those that don't drink with you anymore after you become one. But it's their problem for not liking good beer, right? Right?

Nice, I dont know all those bands, but big yes to the ones I do.
