I finally feel like I got some actual work done on this thing. I got the inside of the coffin built and got the tile cut and placed on the back splash, I had no idea cutting tile was such an ordeal. I also also carved a place for the handle of the freezer and got the top plywood attached...

I've never been carded at a BYOB, but have been at multiple other establishments, not sure what the rule is on that. I agree that paying $10 or more for someone to open my bottle is ridiculous, but I've found lots of places that have no fee or maybe $1 to $2 per person. That I'm ok with...

I used to bring in growlers and bottles of homebrew all the time to BYOB places. I tried to find the ones that didn't have a corkage fee, the ones that did definitely charged it but I don't think they thought it was homebrew. Nobody ever gave me any problems about bringing it in though. If...

Got a few things done today. My propane regulator didn't come so I had to move my brewing inside and do my SMaSH beers on the stove, big mistake. I mashed for a 5 gallon batch and then split it in half for the boil so I could do a cascade and centennial side by side comparison. Well my...

So I'm an idiot and accidentally ordered Pilsen DME instead of light DME to use in my starters. Do I have to worry about any DMS problems?

I put it in in small amounts. It never dissolved completely, but the boil kept it off the bottom. I dumped everything into the fermenter because I wanted all the peanut butter to come through that possible could. Clean up was the same as always, not a problem at all. Not too much...

No Problem. It's Jamil's sweet stout recipe with a little over a pound of organic peanut butter added right at the end of the boil. Peanut Butter Stout Sweet Stout Type: All Grain Date: 4/2/2011 Batch Size: 5.50 gal Brewer: Brian Asst Brewer: Boil Size: 7.03 gal...

That's awesome, and also a little creepy stalkerish. Hopefully now that I'll have a set schedule we can actually make it to some family events. Are you going on this Grand Canyon trip?

Not much progress yet, too busy cleaning out the garage of all the misc. boxes from moving. Finally got the freezer moved inside and went to Home Depot and got some wood and hardware for the build. Tonight I'm going to try and get the rust taken care of and take out the liner and insulation in...

I'm doing general surgery. I'm trying to fill up the keezer while I have time, after July my brew time will be drastically decreased. Well, I tried to brew both my SMaSH recipes today but my regulator on my burner broke. I ordered one, supposed to be in on Thursday so I guess it's...

I went to Odd Side Ales Grand Haven and had their Peanut Butter Cup Stout that was great. I was reading about the problems with head retention because of the oil. Going through the process of extracting all the oil was just too much the day after moving so I said screw it and just threw the...

Well I just moved from Chicago to West Virginia and I thought I would take the chance to sort of start over in my brewing. I didn't brew for a 6 months before I left in order to empty out my 6 kegs, I did not want to move 6 kegs full of beer. I just got brewing classic styles and I'm excited...

Is this the part? 13-1403B 3 GANG SMALL BAKELITE SCREW TERMINAL BLOCK (BARRIER STRIP)-SIZE: 7/8" WIDE x 1-3/4" LONG http://www.electronicplus.com/images/products/13-1403B.jpg

Do you have a part number for the three-port terminal blocks from Electronic Plus? I'm an electronics moron trying to copy your build, I may be in over my head.

Good to hear, thanks.

I have a package of lactose that I got 2 years ago, is it still good?

Yea, I'm sad. I'm moving Thursday, looks like I won't get to see these open.

Anybody know any more about this. I think they have had some sort of agreement for a while but not sure what it is. And that statement is pretty vague. http://www.gooseisland.com/pages/special_announcement/133.php

Looks good, nice job.

Looks good, how about some pics of the top and sides?
