One thing I did notice though was the kegs from KB already have the work done for you. The extra $50 appears to be for having the top cut off, appropriate holes drilled and fittings welded into the keg. I would say that even though this might appear to be a 'better' deal, I know that I didnt...

Received a reply today - Hmmmmm, interesting I might have to save some $$$ and make this happen :)

Another thing to consider (damn it I wish I had Revvys link right about now) is the fact that the CO2 may not have fully absorbed into the beer thus giving you gushers. Im no 'expert' by any means, but I do have a large handful of brews under my belt. I fell victim to the 'Oh **** it MUST be...

I saw this as well and I too will raise a pint in honor. While Im not a big DC fan, I did watch it on occasion and I do remember Cap'n Harris. My heart goes out to his family and crew.

+1 to this 3-4 weeks + in the fermenter and then bottle. I do this with all of my beers (at least the primary part) and beers like stouts often do well with long stretches of age. (Leave it in the bottles for a good long while) You can try one at 3 weeks (in the bottle), but I can almost...

Heh, nope... I thought the notice in my inbox was from them. It was only you asking me what I was hoping for as well. LOL

I agree with LGI, sacrificing of the kids is what usually helps. Ive had a batch that took almost a week to show signs of fermentation once. I think it was a bit too cold and it decided to get stuck. Brought the temp up a little and viola!

You could always just go with the vill-helm-yette

Green apples? I thought it tasted more like band-aids. :P I love how forgiving beer can be

Damn... That is brilliant. And to think all of this time, I thought I was being efficient just mixing up 2.5 gallon batches of star san (to dump afterwords) :rockin::rockin::rockin: Thanks again :)

I just shot them an email to see if they had some scratch and dents or other kegs suitable for HB use that they would be willing to let go of at a discount. Ill see what they have to say :)

Find a copy of Hirens Boot CD and give that a shot. This *May* help you recover and repair some of your corrupt stuff on the OS. Worst case, if you plan to wipe it (AFTER data recovery) Find a copy of a Live Linux distro and use it to traverse your file system and untimately back up your...

I am a hop head as well, but I am kind of picky about my IPA selection. IPAs like St Georges (A local brewery here) and Victory seem to be a little too 'sweet hopped' (best description I can think of) as opposed to a DFH or Stone or Bells IPA which seem to have a more bitter hop flavor...

Just up the road from you... I agree it sucks Although my daughter loved it when I pulled her around the neighborhood on the body board and 100 year old sled.

Id take that over having to spend a night in jail cause I had to subdue some knucklehead who couldnt handle his alcohol. But I digress... I love both for different reasons. :)

But stoners are much more mellow. At least with a stoner you usually dont have to worry about getting into a heated debate over nothing.

Well, if he walked on wort (or even beer) and cooked, Id almost consider turning gay... (Almost that is)

Since when have horses had mice? And what makes you think that these horses mice are actually all that sanitary? Ive heard bad things about rodents and some of the diseases they carry, but the fact that they belong to a horse, does this make them that much more sanitary?

This also depends on your definition of an 'alcoholic'. I enjoy a pint or two almost EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. But I rarely (if ever) consume to get 'drunk' Does this make me an alkie? I dont think so... And yes, much of my beer goes to neighbors and friends or lasts as long as good as it...

I say strain it - at least once. You will then see how much of a PITA it can be, and if you are like me, you will find that it all settles to the bottom anyway. I think that I *may* consider straining if I plan to reuse my yeast cake for a subsequent brew that may have different hop profiles...
