    Wheat DME in starter

    Pretty much what I thought. Maltose is maltose is maltose.....

    Wheat DME in starter

    OK, I accidentally bought a pound of Wheat DME (45%/55%) and thought it was Plain Light. I need to do a starter tonight and would need to use 50g Light DME, 100g Wheat DME. Will this make any difference to my WLP007 as it sits on a stir plate?

    BeerSmith 2.0

    It'd be nice to see two finger scrolling enabled properly as well. I like the features but agree the UI is rough. I left BeerTools for this and wish BeerTools would give the same detailed recipe builds as this, but BeerTools was REALLY user-friendly.

    Portable igloo cooler kegerator

    I used older 3-gallon kegs as described early in this thread. The key is using at least one of the kegs with a base like the one on the left (first picture below). Otherwise, the small wheelwell inside the cooler gets in the way and you need to cut some of the rubber out. Different bases...

    Tasty's Janet's Brown Ale

    I'm brewing some Janet's Brown next weekend and think I've found my past error in the recipe. I've used Fawcetts Chocolate in the past and am planning on Briess this time. I think the English Chocolate is a bit too much for the recipe....but well see. Too bad I do not have the time to do two...

    Batch of IPA sitting under Airlock

    Let you tastebuds be your guide. You may need some additional yeast for it to carbonate though. Give it a taste and if its still clean and fully fermented, I'd plan to bottle with priming sugar and some fresh, liquid yeast. What were the OG and FG?

    Portable igloo cooler kegerator

    Thanks....the ONLY downside to the cage on the back it you cannot let it sit against a back seat on that side. For travel I put two kegs and both paintball tanks in the cooler. The 3" shanks worked good provided you use 3/16" nipples. I tried 1/4" MFL fittings but they are too long. Nice...

    Portable igloo cooler kegerator

    I used 3" shanks with no problem. I like the lower profile with the faucets on the front. I've used it one time but am happy thus far. I have the CO2 connected simply with a q/d running outside the cooler. I am able to then use that paintball tank for other things such has carbonating other...

    Makeshift Hop Drying

    Makeshift Hop Drying

    On the floor of my brew room (finished room in basemnet), on a towel with the exhaust from my dehumidifier blowing on them....thinking it'll work.

    Swallowed PBS

    No issue. Except it tasted worse than PBR

    Swallowed PBS

    Ha! I just noticed I posted that. Too funny.

    Portable igloo cooler kegerator

    That's what I'd expect. A 20oz bottle is 1/4 of a standard 5 lb tank so I'd expect to get a lot of mileage out of a paintball 20 oz tank. My tank has dropped from 850 to 250 in about 3 days with min carbonation req'd since kegs were carbonated. I'll leak check at home post-vacation.

    Swallowed PBS

    So I swallowed a couple oz of weak PBW (tasted REALLY bad) so I don't think much made it down. Mouth feels fine, followed it with a good rinse and 2-3L of water (and 3 eggs and my coffee). Think I'll make it thru the day? Bufoonery reigns!

    Portable igloo cooler kegerator

    Update: So far the only real issue I have is it APPEARS I am losing a little CO2. The bottle was full around 850 psi when I started and is now sitting around 25 psi. The beers were both carbonated when I put them on and I leak-checked everything once but did not re-check with the kegs...
