its almost here!!! :ban: UPS says it should arrive on Thursday. thanks Dale and Josh!

mine should be here soon:ban::ban: i had been planning on doing a 20 gal batch of Apfelwein to start in it... but i think instead i am going to try my hand at a saison since i have a friend who loves them from summers he spent in europe in college but doesn't like any of the ones he can get...

i think ill have to try making this one too :mug:

welp...it looks like a found a new brew to do this fall :mug:

Got my other stuff from GW Kent... stuff is puuuurrrdy nice as well. especially the trigger butterfly valve :cross: i still need to order some new hose for the dump and rack valve and possibly some other stuff don't really need :ban:

woot! cheeseheads and beer brewing go together like green bay and championships :mug: i got my start here the same way about 6 years ago and have since dumped 3k into homebrewing with all the ideas and knowledge on this forum.

Yeah I'm thing that's the route I'm going to use to for the CIP system. I'm going to clean by hand the first few batches since all this stainless is exploding the brewery budget. :D

Well i guess St. Pats is good in my book. I already received my parts from St. Pats. The stainless work on these TriClover parts is near perfect. Some of the best stainless work i have seen on parts for piping. Ill be ordering from them again if i need other fittings unless i want something they...

mine was not too clear at kegging either. i actually racked to secondary after about 7 days for the fun of it and let it sit for about 4-5 days in 2nd then cold crashed for 2 days and kegged and it was still not clear. i had been drinking about a pint a day for a couple weeks and suddenly it...

ordered a bunch of tri-clover parts from St. pats today :ban: i already got the email from UPS that it was leaving austin today :rockin: ...should be here by tuesday :D gotta order my butterfly valves next week from GW Kent and ill be all set for when the brewhemoth arrives. i could have...

just bought my tickets for the members session :mug: bottling up some brew from a keg i have tomorrow so i will have a few bottles to bring to do an exchange/tasting

:rockin::rockin: thats exactly what i was thinking of. it might cost a bit more but i can use the pump to move both the cleaning solution and also the chiller solution for using the chiller in the brewhemoth as well. also my CC was charged for the brewhemoth today :ban: i wonder if that means...

Whoa I forgot about this thread... At any rate I opened a few bottles recently of this that I had left aging since 2008/2009 when I brewed it. AMAZING!!! I was expecting to dump it out but apparently 2years plus of aging made the blueberry and apple mellow out and play nice. If I could buy it...

well i found a room last week for both friday and sat downtown. it cost me almost double what it has the last 3 years though as all the cheaper ones were sold out almost instantly i guess. SWMBO and I will be in staying up by new belgium thursday night if anyone else is in the area. then...

Yes. And to humor your extreme devils advocateness, I can also safely say that any microlevels of salt or salt derivatives would not be detectable over the level of hops in an imperial red... Nor the malt flavor. As I use distilled water the only way salt could enter anyway would be through if...

Yeah I'm going to build a CIP system as well. I'm planning on building it so it's a circulating tri-clover attachable system. It might run me a few dollars but I live in a condo so compact and low water usage is key.

I'm still perplexed by the salt thing. After years in the restaurant industry I would like to think my pallet is trained well. Salt is just not something I can figure out when there is none. I tried my damnedest to quiz my friend to find out what he was really tasting so I knew what might have...

Well I won't see mine until end of July... But I'm not too worried by the 4" top. While I would prefer 6"+ on top... 4" is basically the same as a corny so it seems like it shouldn't be that bad.

I wonder what Thats all about? I had a friend tell me an imperial red ale was salty recently. I was so confused.
