So your a closet siphoner eh? You have a good sense of humor. You have to these days.

Pump some iron.

Blow the money. Kegs rock!

And don't forget about the Pu$$y beer.

I think there are lot of closet infections. LOL Come out of the closet guys.

What they used to do was take the second runnings and add yeast without boiling down It was called "small beer" which they gave to the kids. Now they call it Miller Lite which you give to your friends.

I did some checking a while back on electric pots and for some reason everyone uses plastic. I can't figure out why. There was also some concern about scorching but others said they used it without a problem. Did you see the post where I was saying to use a hot water heater turned way up? You...

No this was the one before that. I believe I'm around 11 or 12 bad ones right now. I kinda lost count. The one I started 3 days ago has a real pungent smell. I have not smelled that that I can recall. As I said it has been so long since I have done a kolsh that came out good I don't remember...

He is the guy wanting to brew large batches. How is the research going?

It has morphed from real crappy sour bandaid to sour and thin tasting with a slight bitterness. JNJ has the same problem but his was not bitter.

A chemical taste over what I have now would be welcome. LOL

poindexter, I didn't use rum in the last one on saturday. My batches typically start within 12 hours and I always use new yeast. The only other variable that I haven't changed is the funnel although it sits in starsan 24 hours a day and this last time I soaked it in bleach. It looks very...

Let us know.

I'm voting on crud in the bottles. You said some were doneted. Were the odd bottles donated by a friend or were they yours. I have found that when friends give you bottles they usually don't rinse them. Also you should have used the one step first with a good hour or two soak to remove the crud...

El Borracho All very good points. The most critical time is between cool down and transfer which I usually do within 10 minutes. That 10 minutes has been a killer for me. I want to try throwing on the lid after boil and cool in an ice bath thus lestening exposure time.

I found that aerating the starter had amazing results.

I agree. I usually rinse my hands in the starsan solution when I pull out the funnel to transfer the wort to the carboy. And above all never touch the wort or anything that comes in contact with the wort.

Proved him right!

That was the world series? What world was it?

Maybe I should go back to what I did when I first started. Use ice in the wort to cool it, use all plastic, use one step only, no starters. It all worked great for a long time then BAM! Now I have an infection that's like stink on $hit.
