My wife and I keep poultry of all kinds. Chickens, both for eggs and meat, turkeys, ducks, pheasants, and yes quail. I haven't had any quail here in a couple of years but have a neighbor who has asked me to raise a few for him to train bird dogs with. They are prolific. They can fly within...

My house beer is a rye. I almost always have it on tap. 5 gallon 90 min. boil 10# Pale ale 2# Rye 1 oz Cascades @ 60 min 1 oz Cascades @30 min 1 oz Centennial @ flame out 1 oz Centennial dry hop last 48 hours Simple and unusually tasty.

Yeah, that should work great! I never think of those when I hear growler. How is that for keeping beer from a fill station cold?

I have done this several times. I find that the caps tend to be problematic. The seals seam to be a bit unreliable. Some carb nicely some don't. Certainly better than dumping the beer though.

I would think that the increase vibration of heavy metal constantly playing would act like a stir plate and cause the beer to ferment faster. I would hope that beer fermented to B.B. Kings Bluesville would come out the clear winner though. :rock:

Thanks, I'll be building something very similar.

Do you pull any of this apart to clean it or do you find it doesn't need it? And do you have any idea why there is the closed rectangle section just in front of the bulkhead, instead of flowing right to the bulkhead fitting? I need to upgrade my cooler and would like to do something like this...

1419 + 7 gallons of English pale ale = 1426 gallons

I bet you will really enjoy it. Next time you brew it you may want to make a few changes but you should find the original very enjoyable.

I have the perfect short term solution: 1. Take all the hops in your possession and place them in a plain brown package. 2. Address them to me. 3. Attach postage. 4. Ship immediately for proper disposal. After completing the above, proceed directly to the nearest medical facility and...

Good Sunday morning brewers. It's a cool and windy 36*F here in western New York. The wind is supposed to blow all day in the 30-40 mph range, with some gusts reaching upwards of 70 mph. I think I'll try and brew an English pale ale. what better idea could I have than trying to brew on a...

Relax, don't worry, have a home brew, (Charley Papazin, Joy of Home Brewing book, if you have the time it is a must read) and give it a shot. Most likely you will make beer. You will way over think most things the first time though. By the way, there is this really good forum on the inner...

I like broccoli. :goat:

I mostly drink APA's and IPA's. I've been thinking that I would go conservative and just go with a cascade 1.5 oz. @ 60 1oz @ flame out and 2 oz. dry hop schedule. That would make a drinkable pale ale for sure. But where is the adventure in that? :rolleyes:

My wife and I live way out in the middle of no where, and the closest Home Brew Supply is 60 miles away, one direction. I used to brew quite a bit more often than I do now, so to save trips, and money I would buy several batches at a time. I would measure out my grains for each batch into 5...

Good Sunday morning. It's a crisp 18*F here in Western New York, with a wisp of light snow floating straight down. Today, I need to clean out my workshop so that I can get my car in and get the oil changed and tires rotated. No small task, if you could see the shop... Not feeling all that...

How do you make a hormone? Don't pay her!

I'm in Cohocton, roughly 16 miles from the south end of Honeoye, 12 miles from Canandaugia, 12 miles from Hemlock, and 16 miles from Canadice. Like I said, right in the heart of them, the western end anyway. Great place to live. :D

Thanks, I do indeed live in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of New York State. I would love a unit that at least has a submersible coil. Though I doubt I will be doing any diving for lost treasure, I would like to be able to look along the local creeks and lake shores.

I am thinking about purchasing a metal detector this spring and have been doing a little bit of research on metal detectors. What I have found out is, I know nothing about metal detecting or metal detectors. I have set my budget at $250-$300. Any one have any units they would recommend, if...
