+1 on Palmers book. It's a very good resource.

6 gamma buckets for malt and such.

I'm sipping the famous "Bray's One Month Mead" Bailey Mountain Brewer....I likey your beer Chemistry glass. :thumbsup:

2500 ft of sisal (biodegradeable) twine for hops to grow up.

I'm going to try that and will get back to ya'all. Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it.

Ordered caps and a backup hydrometer from them yesterday. I can't say enough good things about them.

I had no idea who that was and had to google it. Nope, not Marie Kondo (but I would like to let her loose in my sock drawer) and walk in closet. The backstory on that is I bought it at a yard sale and recognized it as a possible old Pre WWII Chinese cigarette advertisement. The script looks...

Ah, They do not embellish. If those hops smell like spoiled dairy they are old and spoiled (pre rotten). I lived in China for decades. You know China better than me. You can't trust some of these companies. You are getting old, spoiled hops. I'm an old chemist and like experiments. Can you get...

Latest experiment on the zen of brewing. I am trying to kaizan the brewing process and strip it down to its essential elements. This is a "Big Basin Amber Ale" that I bottled in a Sam Adams bottle. I stopped making labels and indicate the contents by the color of the cap (same cost regardless of...

Welcome to the forum

I don't begrudge anyone making a fair profit. I like supporting the LHBS. If the 80 dollar a bag LHBS was closer than an hour each way, I'd buy from him all day long. The LHBS charging 120 dollars a bag for the same thing....I have to think that's a bit steep and I won't do it. But thanks for...

That is so cool. Was that disease the Hops Latent Viroid? Them weed farmers better be careful, that viroid also attacks cannabis. Way cool on the early brewpub! Where are my manners? Welcome to the forum from a Texas member! I started with extracts too.

You live in Hop Land? You are going to fit right in here. :thumbsup:

Very sorry to hear that. Any idea as to the reasons why?

I guess my well driller was correct. Thanks for getting back to me.

Howdy codytx, Always nice to see another brewer in my area (I'm up in magnolia TX). You are spot on with the well water temp, mine is running about 80. How deep is your well? Mine bottoms out at 183 feet (bottom of the Evangeline/Chicot) aquifer in my area My well driller told me that the city...

Drinking Hong Kong Coffee (coffee and green tea), a habit I picked up from working in China. I make mine by dropping a jasmine tea pearl (hand picked tea leaf rolled into a little ball with a jasmine flower) into a tea ball, and doing a pour over on top of that. I use the cheapest coffee I can...

I took beerventory (inventoried brew supplies) so I can hit the sales. I always try to order everything I need during the sales, and check multiple vendors. That always helps, these prices can vary considerably between vendors. Plus when I'm looking around I always find something cool to add to...

Thanks, I'll look for that one.
