    Starter Ingredients

    I use 1/2 cup DME with 2 cups water. Boil 10 minutes and aerate for 5 minutes. Areation makes a huge difference.

    LCD or Plasma

    I have a 65" HD DLP Mitsubishi. I needed one this large because of the size of the room. Plazma was way too expensive. LCD was also expensive and I didn't like the way the picture effed up when the camera panned. DLP has a great picture. I blew the wad last year with a Yamaha receiver, and 6...

    Let's talk global warming...

    I just they would put a show on that tells the whole story. It is very interesting how data is not divulged because It might hurt the agenda. They also rely on people being too lazy to read. Another problem is that when most people want to research global warming that is exactly what they search...

    Electric valves

    I have seen some talk about electric actuated valves for gas but is there electric valves for hot liquid? I am trying to design a system with 2 pumps but I want to keep the valve operation simple by just using a switch that operates more than one valve at a time.

    Brett is a bacteria. I can't imagine how it could come from chlorine because chlorine kills bacteria.

    Let's talk global warming...

    This "global warming" issue is my pet peeve. A while back this subject came up on another thread and all I was asking anyone to do was read. I didn't get preachy I was just asking them to read. I was pretty much railed by a few insinuating that I was ignorant and they even offered help...

    Substite LME for grains in AG recipe?

    I thought it was .75 LME and .6 DME. If so you would need 4.8 lbs. extra light DME. Am I wrong?

    flux

    I plumbed my house with copper and didn't worry about the flux. I just ran a little water to clear the lines. Did you use lead free solder? That is a bigger issue than the flux.

    I think I'm turning into a sanitation nazi

    Check out these two links for the whole range of suggestions. Although all very useful the key step that was not mentioned is scrubbing. You might find something here that will be your answer. http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=41991 http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=42163

    I think I'm turning into a sanitation nazi

    Here we go again. I had at least a dozen bad batches in a row as well as another fellow homebrewer in my area. We chased all of the conventional wisdom for a few weeks with bleach, starsan, oxyclean........and nothing worked. The problem it seems is that when you get an infection it forms a scum...

    Can carboy’s go bad?

    I just went through all of this and had about 12 bad batches. I discovered the problem was there was a light film on the inside of the bottles. I know you said you scrubbed but you really need to spend a bunch of time on it when you get this problem. Way more than usual. Pour a couple of cups of...

    Opinions for Beginner

    Sloooow down pardner. I know your anxious but why don't you start with one or two to figure out what's going on? You don't want to screw up 4 batches in a row right out of the box and get discouraged.
