What is the best ( Cheapest and/or biggest selection ) Homebrewing catalog?

This is kind of off topic but..... Have any of you guys used the McD Sanitizer? My brother got me a whole bunch of it in packets for me. McDonald's uses it for sanitizing various things but I'm not really sure how effective it is and dont want to risk a batch of beer if no one has used it.

I'm gonna have to go with the British pint. Why? Because its bigger duh! :D Also, the shape of the glass keeps a better head I think. But either way is fine with me. As long as its full that is. :D

I guess not lol, Althought the first beers were bittered with gruit instead of hops. I am going to bitter it now though. Seeing as how Hallertau is the traditional hop used in hefeweizen, and I have a pound of Hallertau on its way I think I should use them on my hefe.

My gigantic homemade mash tun. What do you think?

If you have a speed bake feature (a little fan inside your oven ) use it. This greatly speeds the drying process.

Here's what it looked like after the whole setup was finished.

I just placed the stone on the bottom of the grain to make sure everything would get properly aerated.

I used my primary fermenter to soak the grain in. This made it easy to install the air line and diffuser stone.

I used a small aquarium pump to prevent the grain from drowning out over night.

Adding warm tap water to the dry wheat.

Thanks guys. I sure appreciate the helpful advice. I think I'm gonna use my Bullion hops to bitter and use a bunch of the Hallertau to dry hop.

Ok, I'm going to make an all wheat Hefeweizen. My question is whether or not to add a hops at all. I'm looking to make a sweet malty beer that my wife can enjoy just as much as me. What do you guys think? maybe a little 1.5 AA Halertau? :confused:What inspired me to try this was the incredibly...

Man, after reading all of this I'm going to start on sanitizing my equipment and making me a batch of EdWort's Apfelwein. I cant wait to till its ready! :ban:

Sounds good then. Ill use them to bitter before adding my hallertau. Thanks guys!
