    Kegereator or Fermentation Chamber?

    Worst case...go ferm chamber now while you save the scratch/find a deal on the kegging set up. You may even luck across a free fridge on CL when you're not in desperate need of one :D

    Who's brewin this weekend?

    Just finished up my Pale Rye Ale. Hit my mash temps on the nose, but my volumes are still high-- I need to ratchet my grain absorption back. The good news is that my efficiency is still higher than I account for, so the gravities turn out about right. I was looking for an 8 gallon boil of...

    sorry...forgot to close out the sarcasm tag. :p

    Light weight Neighbor + Homebrew IPA

    1 quart = not quite a liter. It is an entirely sensible measure that is exactly 1/4 gallon. Not that weird liter nonsense that is like 3.8 L to a gallon.

    Harbor Freight: What's the Catch?

    I have two categories of tools: those I use all the time and will abuse mercilessly and those I'm going to use a couple of time a year for light use. For the first group (or anything that will require precision), I buy the good stuff that will last a lifetime. For the second, it's Harbor...

    Brute force lagering

    I was giving this kind of system some thought when I was building my chamber. (I ended up just building a box with one control). I was going to work it this way: *Chill a volume of fluid *Build (or buy) a manifold. Something like this: *Have a controller that monitors temps of...

    Brute force lagering

    Expansion to multiple controlled temps off one cooling unit, that's why :rockin:

    That would just be an alias for chmod -R 000 *.nookie around my house.

    Pizza night at la Casa de Matt

    Damn straight you can. Honestly, pizza is so easy, I'm not sure why the Hut is even still in business. You guys are making me hungry.

    Recipes for Gas Grill

    It got my mouth watering just thinking about it so I IMed (is that even the right term?) and told her I was cooking dinner. Stopped at my little grocery store/meat market on the way home...out of pork tenderloin :mad: Porterhouse steaks, on the other hand, were on sale for $5.23/lb...

    copper contamination in wort

    Pretty good discussion of that in the Brew Strong podcast from 9-29-08. Copper in the boil starts at about 45 minutes in.

    The scourges of summer: heavy girls in bikinis and flip flops

    All three at least look to take good care of themselves which (IMO) is as important as anything. I mean there's a difference between 'Athletic' (good) and 'crack whore' (bad) just like there's a difference between 'shoves twinkies in like they're tic-tacs' (bad) vs 'well rounded like the good...

    Recipes for Gas Grill

    Corn on the cob. Salt + butter wrapped in aluminium foil. Roasted Veggies. I've heard of pizza on a gas grill (mine will get way hotter than my oven, but I haven't tried it) How about a pork tenderloin? wrap in bacon, sear quickly over very hot grill, turn the heat down and finish it...

    Drill not powerfull enough for MM2... suggestions?

    I like more amps too, but best bang for the buck is the $40 geared version. The $55 geared drill is certainly an upgrade. Those two will be better in a low speed operation such as a grain mill. I have the hammer drill, it does not like low speeds all that much. I buy two kinds of power...

    Brewmasters Warehouse

    Use firefox, middle (wheel) click the hops you want to open in a new tab once for each addition. For the last one, left click and close the other tabs. Works with malts, too :mug:

    (where)..Best price on a Johnson Controller

    Unless there is another analog model I'm not aware of, they use different sensing technologies. The digital versions have a wired probe and the analog versions have a bulb on the end of a thin copper tube hard connected to the controller. The tube/bulb can't be replaced if it breaks but is...
