Thanks for the quick answers. I'll factor in the .002 for my numbers. Ryno - 6 weeks huh? Well, I guess its good to have goals. I think I'll just try to have some left by then. Thanks all jason

Well, I just finished cleaning up from my first all grain batch. It was a blast. things went pretty well. No majory screw ups. I brewed Ed's Robust porter - and it tastes great so far - can't wait for the alcohol and the bubbles. The problem is when I went to set out the ingredients, there...

Another vote for chemistry. Biology 101 is important but you have a much better chance of picking that up on your own. A structured chemisty course wtih a good instructor would probably be more helpful. Must students have many, many many questions during chem 101, while biology is more of a...

Yep, figured so. :rolleyes:

Hey, Am I the only one who "asks" for permission only to get a feel for how much s#@t I'll be in when I go ahead and do or buy what I wanted to in the first place? Jason

Off topic....... Where did you get the nice Taylor glass? jason

Another + 1 for kegging. And I'll add you should pick up at least one more keg than you now think you want. A soon as you pull that first draft off of YOUR keg you will be hooked. No bottles, no fancy pouring, no searching for the bottle opener, the ability to pour a 'half glass, just a...

Take a look at weirdboy's cooler. $17.99. I just bought this one for my MT. It has channel or depression in the bottom so you can mount the fitting very low. There is no spiqot but there is a molded in area for one where the cooler wall is very thin (guessing < 1/4" total. I thought the...

Welcome Marylander. You will find this board an truely amazing resource. You will also find it biggest time suck you have ever encountered on the web and likely end up cursing the day you came across it as you survey the steaming ruins your life has descended to, surrounded by piles of...

+ 1 on keg connection - they are very helpful. I would recommend picking up 1 extra keg to have on hand. It allows you to keep the beer pipeline running while waiting fo ra new batch to condition or carb. Also consider a distribution block with at least 1 extra port. The ports or holes can be...

I don't have beer smith up on this computer, but if I recall, under the mashing details box check the "sparge with equal size batches" box, then lower the percentage under the sparge using x% of pot volume. I just lower the percentage until I hit a number that triggers the second sparge. You...

Its not big enough, its not big enough!! I'm sure you have thought a lot about this, but as someone who just recently got into kegging - I urge you to reconsider. I have a nice 2 keg system that lives in 1/2 of a standard refrigerator - only room for 2 kegs and a 20 oz CO2 tank. I am already...

So, I'm a little late to the thread, but as a new Brewsmith user I understand your pain. I only have a few bits of maybe slightly helpful info. There are lots of recipies available at the brewsmith webpage for free. The have collected them into 3 or 4 large files to make it easier to download...

NORTHERN BREWER: Siphoning Equipment bottom of page item 7130 althoug I don't think I ever rplaced it after the first wash...huh. jason

There is a temperature conversion table in most books or with the hydrometer instructions. It is a minimal adjustment. That sounds liek a hearty ale - enjoy. jason How to Brew - By John Palmer - Appendix A - Using Hydrometers

Thanks PoB ! That caption was one of the funniest things I've seen all week. I just wish it was beer that was trying to come out of my nose instead of hot coffee.

Jason (insco) seemed to be the cheapest once S/H was included. he seems to have many, many satisfied customers here. You may also want to look at Keggle Brewing (ebay and website) He often posts here as Pedalbiker. This is where I ordered my kegs from. They are cleaned, rebuilt and polished...

yeah, thats what part of my brain is telling me, but how much? I had 1 1/2 gal of the stuff. It is kinda of all or none. I mean the beer is very clear until I hit the trub/break material then its thick with goo. So take 1/2, 1/4, or just what little I suck up getting that last of the clear...

Not too far away is DogfishHead in Gaithersburg. It is probably a 35 min drive which is a short commute in this area. Worth the drive if you don't get thier beers where you live. If you are not familiar, they have a great lineup, usually a bit high in the alc%. Also some unusuall entries...

+1 I've got to jump on this bandwagon. I just got a 2 keg set up from him. The system was top notch - beautiful shiney kegs, taprite upgrade, red gaslines, 3/16 Bevlex liquid lines, nice manifold, not a single leak. Shipping was fast and quick. Email response was usually within the hour...
