    Pipe smoking, a lost art.

    Pipe came! Chip carved pipe with a Winchester 12 gauge shot shell for the little cap on the stem. Got it from Boswell Pipes in PA. Came with everything here except for two of tobaccos. Excited about the pouch as now I'm more portable with my pipes.

    contamination.

    I dropped something in the fermentor once that I needed to get out. Just reached in and grabbed it... Beer came out just fine. I don't recommend doing that obviously, but it's a data point.

    We just found out about this and are planning on spending a day watching football and hanging out. Have a couple buddies in the city, I'm out in the burbs

    Nice pipe! My new pipe arrives tomorrow as well, can't wait!

    Porter advice

    I add it with 10 minutes to go but you can technically add it at any point. It adds no flavor, color, etc only mouth feel. It will boost your gravity reading numbers a little bit, but it will be the same addition to OG as it will to FG so your difference should remain the same.... It does not...

    New to brewing, lots of questions (brooklyn brewshop)

    Something tells me we would be good friends. The most important thing to remember while doing this is to relax and not worry. If you follow the instructions well enough, you're going to make beer, and it'll probably be pretty good :)

    I've heard pipe collecting becomes as addicting as homebrewing... That's dangerous

    Just ordered a new pipe, will post pictures when it arrives! This thread inspired me to get an early birthday present for myself...

    Porter advice

    If you're doing extract, throw 4oz of maltodextrin in when I you make dark beers. I've noticed a huge improvement in mouth feel and overall beerness in my stouts and porters.

    Pipe smoking, a lost art.

    Read up on that. I was looking at the exact same pipe for a while but read that it's wooden all the way to the mouthpiece. Some people said at it absorbs moisture and can crack and split. Not personal experience, but it was enough to keep me from getting it as one of my first pipes. I got into...

    Holy crap! I just bought 2 for 2.99. I think pipe tobacco is taxed lower in the US than cigars and cigarettes.

    Pipe smoking, a lost art.

    Lol. My buddy imports his snus and complains about the price all the time. Cigarette tobacco we used was probably pretty crappy. I was on a backpacking trip in Israel with two friends and we decided to buy a pipe from a hookah vendor and tobacco at a liquor store. Then tried to smoke without...

    That pipe you posted Dan looks just like the one I eventually found out was meant for weed. In case you were curious, cigarette tobacco tastes nasty out of them...

    Nice, thanks! I've got a small one, doesn't have two pouches but could get everything in. I'll look into one like that. Can't smoke in a bar, but can on outside patios etc. I'll try the masking tape idea. HBT strikes again!

    This is a silly question, but there is no reason I couldn't pack a pipe, put the pipe in a pouch or something ahead of time so as to not fuss with packing at a bar etc is there? Any way to keep the pipe packed?

    HBT collective wisdom

    Not to mention that half the wisdom is in the discussion itself.

    Method of packing a pipe. Linked to a couple pages in. Good set of 3 videos on YouTube. First time trying it, pretty good so far.

    Going to Chicago

    The way Goose Island operates is that the brewpubs do their own thing (each place brews different beers) but still serve the staples. They have a third brewery that does "everything that comes in a bottle or can". It's the operations and beers from that third brewery that is controlled by...
