How did you get those labels off so cleanly?

Thanks so much everyone! Glad to hear my water is pretty good to start with. Maybe when I move to BIAB or all grain I will revisit. Thanks for help figuring out my magnesium too!

Ok, I am trying to figure out my water profile and see if I have good chemistry. I am an extract brewer, I don't need mash pH and things like that. Should I even worry about my water as much since I am doing extract with grains type brewing? I have looked over several calculators and they don't...

Try Tung oil. You can also thin poly out 50/50 with mineral spirts to give it a more natural look without the plastic thick hard coat feel. Thinning it will allow it to seep into the wood more. You can rub it on this way to achieve more protection from wear than you would with an oil.

Still time to get my name in

Hot Rod almost here?

I scored a 4 pack of Lawson's: Sip of Sunshine today. Super Fresh.

I brewed the Dead Ringer kit using the local stuff. Will see how it turns out in a few weeks.

Thanks for the article! Yes I do need to get better at taking OG and FG measurements. I did take OG on this last 5 gal batch. I just hate popping open the bucket lid 3 days in a row, I feel like I am letting out my CO2. Even though I know it is heavier than air. Plus it just seemed like dipping...

This is what I figured was the case. Thanks for confirming! My local sometimes has (close enough or a good substitute) ingredients. So I know they won't be exactly what NB kit would taste like. But as long as I continue to use the same ingredients I can tweak the recipe to taste and get...

So my dad wants to bottle more beer since the Keezer is at my house and he doesn't get as much beer from each batch because of that. :rockin: So we have been brewing 2.5 gallon batches as of late to bottle instead of kegging. I am working on improving my bottling from a keg. Got a counter...

Was wondering if you can just copy the instructions from a NB kit and buy all the stuff from your local brew supply store. I figure it was as simple as that but wanted to make sure. Saves on shipping costs as long as my local has all the stuff required.

Nope to both Hills and Lawson. I actually have a few trades going but thanks!

We down to one week yet? LOL

Sorry, but as I said, new to this. What does $4$ stand for? Money value for money value? Like Heady costs me $14-$15 a four pack so you'll trade the equal value of whatever else? I don't want to get into money transactions. I just want to trade beer for beer ya know? Thanks for helping out a...

I am in Vermont so I have the elusive Heady Topper. LOL. I actually have one trade going right now for Two Hearted. I see some kind of feedback thing, so after the good trade we leave feedback like "this guy is legit" or something? I have tried sending some PM's too. I am looking for Pliny or...

Thanks

I am looking for some Zombie Dust, I can get Heady Topper since I live in VT.

So how does one build a rep to be able to trade?
