Star san :)

I make a few Ordinary Bitters and Northern Browns that all come in around 4%. based on an efficiency screw up my last brown came in at 3.5% and it isn't all that bad. My go to is still an english ordinary bitter (8A BJCP if you want to get nerdy).

Is there anyway you can remember a part list? I am an OK do-it-yourselfer, but only with good guidance.

Coming from Yooper, I stand corrected!! :)

Make a dipstick with gallon markings in by pouring a gallon in your pot, mark with permanent marker, repeat. I used an oak dowel from Home depot for a buck or two to calibrate my 10 gallon SS kettle.

Does anyone know of any commercial examples of this style besides those listed in the BJCP?

Where did you hear this?

The better bottle bungs, springless bottle filler, and one other thing i can't remember off the top of my head. According to Fedex what they have will be here tomorrow. Looking for a new online vendor for when I can't make it to the LHBS.

BNARMY will give 10% off order. Although, I too have placed my last order with BMW. Just my opinion, but their customer service has gone down hill.

I placed an order Wednesday 2/20. I called today to check the status and they were out of items. Apparently it will ship today without the missing items (they were equipment so I said they can ship later). The guy i spoke with seemed annoyed I was calling. Perhaps it was early and he hadn't...

I use the same equipment and do 5.5 gallon batches in BS to yeild 5 gallons at bottling. Can you use the diameter of your kettle and google boil off calculators? is your cooler a rubbermaid? DO you have a false bottom? If yes to most of the questions I can send you my profile in BS. I have...

WOW!!!! I wanted to brew next thursday night. I wonder if they just can't keep up with the demand.

I had a gift Certificate for BMW so I placed my order today. I hope this time my order doesn't take a long period of time. If it does, I hope there is communication from BMW along the way. Otherwise, this will probably be my last purchase from them.

I just hope BMW sees these posts. There were pretty much my exclusive online vendor, but if service keeps going downhill I may change.

Yeah all the baby gas drops are, is simethicone. Its basically "breaks apart" bubbles. I use it a lot in pharmacy compounding to cut down on the bubbling of the suspensions we make.

Yeah I usually don't rehydrate (my wort rehydrates my yeast :) ). Also at 1.060 and an 11 gram packet you should be fine. When using dry yeast I rarely pitch more than one packet. In my experience, S05 has either taken off like a monster or lagged a few days. But it always finishes nicely.

Yes but that's how I know I am old. When Pearl Jam hits the "classic rock" number of years. Still love them though along with the rest of the Seattle Rock movement bands.

Eh, I have never really been a fan of the half time shows. I do agree Springsteen was great and I enjoyed Tom Petty. I do think they try to appeal to the masses, but with the mixed demographics who watch the superbowl...that really can't happen. I am not into the Beyonce' music genre. I...

So I currently use better bottles for fermenting. I am familiar with them. I am looking to get another one and debating getting a ported one. Does anyone have experience with these. I was looking on the website and it showed how you could bottle straight from the fermenter without the use of...
