I considered that too Joe, but handles may make them not sit next to each-other snugly. And I actually found the top rectangle to be really easy to grab, not to mention very strong. So instead of cutting out a notch as a handle, I simply left it. That saved me work as well (though that wasn't...

This spot is reserved for images of multiple crates stacked and what have you. I plan to do this this weekend once I build multiple crates assembly line style.

Oh and the Cutlist: You need 4 of each of the following boards. Board 1: 15 23/32" Board 2: 11 18/32" Board 34: 10 16/32" Board 5: 10 14/32" Board 34 is made into boards 3 and 4 by cutting along the length. Make a line 2" from either edge of the board and cut down the middle of the line.

Remember... Measure twice, cut once! Also, pre-drill every hole and use a wallow bit so you don't crack when the conical screw top meets the wood.

Then... I built the prototype... Image 1: The piles of pieces cut out ready to be assembled. Image 2: The crate bottom with the flooring and edges attached. Image 3: The crate fully assembled awaiting payload. Image 4: The crate filled with some empty bottles that were floating around. All...

. . Overview Hello all, I have searched all of the web looking for beer crates that are stackable and can hold the short chubby bottles AND longnecks... I have found many crates, some beautiful, some affordable and just many but they were all missing something... Requirements: Here was my...

Wow! That is legit. I appreciate the source. I know it is a close call. But I appreciate the fact that they had a no-preference option. Good stuff. Glad to know that if you put more work into your brew you can get a better result. Even if only barely.

Lol oops... didn't realize the date until afterrr I posted... my bad guys/gals.

Don't give up on hefe's op... Seriously. Try live Oak Hefeweizen if you ever get a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Awesome stuff! I've got to ask though... why not brew a normal batch without the malanoiden? That would allow you to solve the age old question of "does decoction mashing actually increase maltiness or not". Just wondering. But nice job.

So while all of your points are great points, especially considering you live in the midwest... I have to disagree with one thing... doing a dual mode temperature with a compressor based system would not cost a couple grand... it would cost a few hundred at most. But still, nice project and I...

Nice project. :) Now if only Peltier coolers had better than 10% efficiency :/...

So you clearly have replaced just about everything. But your methodology is identical. Do you know the definition of insanity? Lol. Do yourself a favor and try to mix it up. This time do BIAB, cool the whole pot in a bathtub full of icewater, pour into your glass carboy, shake it without the...

To me, brewing with extract is like buying a house... and all grain like building a house... One is more rewarding than the other and i have the option of going organic. My first brewing experience was BIAS and i haven't looked back. Congrats on your first brew! I hope it went well for the most...

USPS ftw. I tell them I'm just shipping some "non-perishable snacks". When they shake it they hear the newspaper crunching under the weight instead of liquid... EzPz.

Get this. Jester King Brewery (small local brewery) lets their temps fall to as low as 35. The heaters don't kick in until 33 and the ac doesn't kick on till 60. They don't care about the fluctuation... My understanding is, as long as you pitched enough yeast, that colder temps just slow the...

Jeez. Grain or not that's a big beer... I have a feeling it will be quite a while before you reach a verdict...

This sounds delicious! On a scale of 1-10 how much pumpkin flavor would you say there was? I like my fruity beers to taste rather fruity (aroma or subtle flavors don't do it for me) so I'm wondering if I should up it or keep it as is.

Wow. I'm sure you've heard it before but your setup is awesome! And your keezer is gorgeous! (I like the plants, they are a nice touch :) )

I'm curious as well. I've heard of weizen yeasts staling... I guess it's common knowledge. But how do they filter without loosing the traditional hazy look?
