    Now it's my turn - what brew kettle and what size?

    I've got a 16 gallon beast kettle that I like quite a bit. Just a regular old propane 3 vessel, batch sparge guy. I like the edge pickup tube because it clears plenty of room for my immersion chiller and I can whirlpool to avoid a bunch of hops debris...

    Texas DFW Area - I see a lot of brewing equipment for sale

    buying grain by the pound, hops by the ounce, not reusing yeast.. it's expensive. and the equipment upgrade bug can bite hard. and brewing marginal beer can take it's toll on a person.

    Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

    2003 season - AFC Divisional - Colts @ Chiefs - zero punts the entire game - I could be wrong but I think there was only one field goal and the Chiefs kicked it... end up losing the game for it. looked it up and I was wrong about the field goal, but it was definitely a terrible defensive...

    Can you believe this?

    I've got some ball lock disconnects with evabarrier and a bunch of fittings arriving Monday - looking forward to putting them on.

    Cold IPA

    Never heard of it but this is what google says - personally, I have had a couple of IPLs as local breweries that were quite good: Cold IPAs are a new spin on IPAs that work to give drinkers a crisper IPA without dipping too far into being a lager-style. ... Whereas IPL's depend on the lager...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Brewed this today to the original recipe with one minor exception: added an extra 1/2 lb 2 row and 1/2 lb vienna. added an extra 3 grams of centennial bittering hop to try and balance out. I did this because I know my efficiency sucks big time and I did not want to have to boil any DME...

    Don't Do That.

    If you use a kerosene wick canning stove and heat your strike/sparge water with diesel... don't get your wick wet while pouring collected water into your HLT. Don't do that.

    Ferm Cap - Love it? Hate it?

    that's living on the edge! I have a 16 gallon boil kettle and currently making 5 gallon batches with an eye towards scaling my process to 10 gallons.... so cannot see myself using this product anytime soon.

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    Definitely appreciate this thread. I was able to blindly (with a modicum of confidence and without being able to see a floor model) buy an Insignia 7 cu ft chest freezer today as a result. When I got it home, I was able to confirm it will hold (4) ball locks on the floor. Plus room for a 2.5...

    Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer

    Thanks for that Mark - totally missed the Q and A. I think I am going to keep thinking. A compact fridge can get me 2 kegs and still have a freezer section too.

    Robust Porter - chocolate syrup in primary, how much to use?

    Hey Rish - I added a cup when the bubbling slowed.

    Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer

    negative - I am not trapped, but I am wanting to be unobtrusive. I've been eyeballing a small space in the laundry room that may go relatively unnoticed if planned correctly. I use a compact fridge (garage) for fermentation and serving. I may pick up a 2nd and just serve 2 kegs out of it.

    Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer

    your handle is outstanding - my dogs names are frank and beans. I am rethinking a compact upright, there are probably good reasons I cannot find anyone using one for a keezer...

    Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer

    Anyone using this for a keezer? Outside dimensions below. Footprint is a premium for me. It seems like this one could handle (2) kegs on its flat floor. But I don't think the height would be enough on the interior for another (2) kegs above. Its got glass shelving... but by the time I...

    Robust Porter - chocolate syrup in primary, how much to use?

    follow up: this beer came out very nice. nowhere near as nice as the beer that inspired me to take up brewing. but plenty good and I am by no means embarrassed to serve next to standing rib roast for Christmas dinner. I need to figure out how to fill a growler because I would not be red...
