Interesting to see some of the tungsten/carbide/titanium group switch to white gold... I was debating on going from WG to one of the others because it scratched so badly. But now that I'm more conscious of it I dont bang it around as much... Still debating since the others can be had fairly cheap.

amazing build. I just spend the last hour catching up from the first post. Holy smokes! I'm still saving up for my first house... But I already know what upgrades I'm saving up for next!

I'm in Yorba Linda. I drive out to Arcadia and Lakewood all the time for work. Every other week or so, I drive out to Koreatown. Let me know! I'm down to swap some homebrew!

Bump with an update! Other beers have been acquired thanks to the MAW! Still on the look out for: BCBS: Vanilla, Cherry Rye, and Bramble Rye

DUDE!!!! Are you freaking KIDDING ME? milliser I feel like I just got hit by a bus! Thanks so much for your generosity! I just finished dinner and remembered reading your message earlier today. When i opened the front door, I was worried because the delivery was dropped over the fence! (a...

Anyone all carb'd up yet? How long did it take? I'm a few days in... seems a bit slow but I'm patiently waiting :)

I got some online (ebay) from seller: washburn71scotty 2lbs (I received about 2.5) set me back $20 shipping included. Just FYI, I thought I'd share that the recipe he provided for root beer calls for 3 ounces of the root in a recipe that makes 2 quarts, so this is a good starting point. I'm...

Dont toss your equipment. Clean thoroughly with PBW?Oxyclean and hot water. Rinse with hot water and soak in starsan. Do all this before storage, and then again before using. Youll be fine. Unless there's pores or scratches for bacteria to hide in I doubt youll ruin further batches.... and...

Anyone want to swap some homebrew in Orange County?

Oh man, I'd love to get my hands on at least one of those! If anyone needs help sourcing Uncle Jacob, let me know. I've got quite a few.

If its been bubbling away you're probably not at too much of a risk for oxidation, as the CO2 produced will keep gasses flowing outward. Also, your brew might even benefit from the access to oxygen. You dont really need to worry about O2 exposure until fermentation has ceased. As far as...

Here's my reasoning for glass over plastic. This is just my personal opinion: Glass is resistant to scratching Glass will not absorb taste or smell Glass will not break down over time Glass can handle more agressive cleaning/sanitization methods Now, while plastic buckets can be made/used...

I read its something mango magnifico with a "hint" of habanero

Thats the post I adopted my method from. I just prefer to have my bottle in while I bring the water up to temp, then let them sit 10-15 mins while holding 150* If you do it like that post you'll be just fine.

Today the oaked batch got bottled. This portion was treated with: Medium toast Hungarian Oak Cubes - @ 8 weeks 1.5 vanilla beans soaked in vodka 1 week - @ 2 weeks 4oz organic cocoa powder @ 2 weeks 6oz french roasted cold brewed coffee - @ bottling 4oz lactose - @ bottling 2.8oz dextrose...

Check out my coffee IPA. Its a good starting point... I think close but not an exact clone. Try it, tweak it. Sorry for the confusion but I do that so I know whether or not its worth trading for or buying again in the future. I can try to get you some if the incentive is good enough lol. I...

When I pasteurize, I take a large stock pot put a grate/riser on the bottom and put all my bottles in, cover with water to the level of the fluid in the bottles at least and bring to 150F for 15 mins to let the contents come to temp. So far, so good. No bottle bombs this summer. You would do...

hah. good one. yeah, even though I try to drink my IPAs fresh, I dont put too much stock in it. There are actually some I prefer aged (GASP!)

Thanks for the info! I'll play with it a bit and report back. I ordered 2lbs from an ebay seller and he even cuts to size for easy handling! Only problem is I wish it'd get here faster because I wanted to make another batch, like last week!

^Its REALLY good stuff! My only problem has been hunting down sassafras bark. It's unavialable everywhere including amazon right now, everone's out. I just bought 2lbs of fresh dug/cut sassafras on ebay... Anyone have experience with the fresh root? How much to use? Thanks!
