I like #3. It's all about form.

Thanks. This is exactly what I want. How do you like it? Now I'll wait for someone to shoot this idea down.

Ease up on this poor guy. He's a brother homebrewer and he just wants a little help. Thinking big can be a good thing I see nothing wrong with that. SWMBO thinks big. I might have the wrong read on you but I think you are new to homebrewing and you and your friends think the beer tastes great...

Has anyone ever used a digital probe thermometer through a hole drilled in the pot with a grommet installed?

Were the hops in a grain bag?

Calf fries

They make SS stones. The problem with an aquarium stone is they can trap bacteria.

Siphon out from underneath it. No it isn't harmful.

Don't forget beer!

I have had this a number of times and the beer tastes fine.

This guy is a genius!

Im' going to scrub no matter what I use after what I just went through. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I just don't think rinsing after anything is enough. It's kinda like those no touch car washes. I don't care how good they are if iit doesn't scrub it can't get it all off.

bigbin Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not tryng to make a point about oxiclean leaving a residue but that scrubbing is a must no matter what you use.

I never let them soak for long and yes oxiclean may leave a residue after rinsing. What I think is either the bacteria sticks to the residue, or it sticks to the carboy and it cannot be removed chemically. JNJ had the same infection problem with better bottles. Looking at his bottle it was hard...

I HOPE EVERYBODY READS THIS.

I have had infections in the past and stopped them this way but with all of the talk about oxiclean and not scrubbing I didn't think of it. Extreme problems require extreme measures. Plastic always worries me because it retains a smell that even bleach can't remove.

I aeriate before pitching using an aquarium pump with a filter for 30 minutes to an hour.

I'm praying for you John. I think this will work for you.

oxiclean free. I switched from one step because of the infection problem.

Melena, Good one!
