Ok, so I've done about 6-8 all grain brews that went really well. All were wheat beer recipes and got exponentially better as I figured out my brewing process. So I figured it was time to change it up and brew a pale ale. Everything went well during the brew but now that it's kegged, it has...

Why not just leave the paint on? I've done that with some painted on labels

So one of my christmas presents is gonna be a propane burner and so far the Bayou Classic SP50 looks pretty good. Any ideas or suggestions? or personal experience with one

Ok sounds good. Now my next question is that I have the wyeast activator smack pack already smacked so how long will that yeast be good for if I throw it back in the refrigerator?
