My brisket right before going to the foil. It was ooh soo good

Made a 10G batch of amber ale. In one 5G seconary I expiermented with oak chips. When I tasted after 4 weeks I was convinced I ruined the oak chip portion with way too much oak so I stuck in the back of my chamber and forgot about it. About three months later we had a lot of company for a long...

Awesome stuff. I gotta admit I had a different take till I read your post. You are right. What this country needs more of is ruged individualism. Good stuff.

I like the braid as well. Nice job

Very, very cool. Wish I had the space (code for wife) that would allow me to have a rig like this.

How'd these dimensions work for you with the Grolsch bottles?

Sold, looks like I am buying an extreme box. Thanks for the feedback and info.

I don't have a picture right now. I can take one on Friday if you need one, But I don't think you will need it. The magnets naturally centered themselves on the rare earth magnets. I had to help them move around, because of the friction, but they sort of wanted to to rest in the correct...

I have the exact same setup and method for checking volume. Easy easy makes me happy happy.

I had the same problem with similar sized rare earth magnets. So I tore open a hard drive and put the hard drive magnet on top of the existing magnets and problem solved. It has not thrown the rod one time since I did this. Attachment is easy because the origional magnets hold the hard drive...

I am thinking your water is off. Drinking them too young can taste bad but it sounds like you are waiting long enough. 68 degrees is not too warm unless you are brewing lagers. Filtering water will not remove temporary hardness and a lot of municiple water supplies are loaded with hco3. The...
