It was a lot of fun and nice to meet new people. I got lots of ideas seeing all the different brew setups. The beer and food were real good too. Even the SWMBO had a good time. Can't wait til next time. :mug:

I don't know much about these, I was also looking one on CL awhile back. I also looked at them at Midwest Brewing. They might have what you need. I did see plain kegs and such for this machine, there. Check their website or call them.

Last night I tapped the keg of That Dreaded #13 IPA that I brewed on 8/31/09. (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/homebrewing-can-dangerous-131154/) I calculated the cost of this beer by adding up the cost of the ingredients times 2 ( including the 1 that spilled) and the cost of the ER bill...

I just finished this keg of lager and the only difference between this one and the one previous was that it seemed a little hoppier, but that could have been the fact that I didn't pay attention to the AAUs of the hops that I used. I just dumped in the 1oz package. The beer was still good, just...

I also have a question on aging/conditioning. I have that dreaded #13 IPA that I brewed (again) on 8/31. After the 3 or 4 weeks in the primary, a week with dry hop in a secondary then moved it to another secondary, where it is today. I want to have it for the holidays and plan on kegging it...

You'd think, but some times we have to learn the hard way before we see things the right or better way. Sometimes when I'm looking for something that I can't find, my wife will go find it for me. Then asks if I was looking for it with my "man eyes"? :D

[I gotta believe you can come up with myriad naming possibilities within that debacle... Like: "13 IPA" in reference to the 13 stitches and the $1,300 that the ER bill probably came to. lol! or 911 IPA ERIPA etc... I got the ER bill yesterday, it was $4332.71. But, as I...

33 years of marriage, 38 with dating. She doesn't heckle me much except when other things get put to the side because of priority brewing. And, I always have to be sure to take beers with in the care packages when we visit our children. She also helped me get cleaned up and to the ER after my...

Update: On 8/31, I was finally able to get back on that homebrewing horse. I brewed three 5 gallon batches, that dreaded #13 IPA first, a pilsner and a lager, all on the same day. :ban: The new location for the burner and kettle works fine. I lengthened the hose to the immersion chiller so...

Thanks guys for all the support, Yes, I am a firefighter/EMT that’s why I didn’t call 911. It’s not that I was afraid of my co-workers showing up, because I live in a different community than I work. Besides that I am 911 and my wife is used to stuff like this at home between my son and I...

Sunday, 7/26 It was to be my 14th batch since I started homebrewing in December of 08. It was an IPA with 8 lbs of DME and 4 oz of hops. I had been doing my boil on the back porch, then carrying the kettle (I usually do a 3 gallon boil) through the porch into the garage and then into my...

iI use one of these and time. Just pour slowly. NORTHERN BREWER: Stirring and Straining

If i was to have yeast shipped, I would order dry yeast. I usually use dry yeast anyway. I had a couple bad experiences with the smack packs. I always make a starter too. I must be a fortunate one. I have 3 LHBSs that I can stop at on my way home from work. Brew and Grow, Midwest and...

Nice! Sarcasm at it's best.

It all started back when I was about 14. We, as teenage boys wanted to get our hands on some booze. Living on the farm in a rural area, it was hard to find someone to buy for us. We found a recipe to make wine using frozen grape juice concentrate, sugar and dry baker’s yeast. There were 4 of us...

Yes, it's vented.

I'll post the results. It shouldn't be too hard to tell if it made a difference, as I just finished drinking the last bottle of the same brew the other day. It is a Grain Belt Premium clone and I thought it was real simular to the store bought. The last one I did was 11 weeks from brew to drink...

Thanks for the responses. Sorry for the delay in getting back, I was away for training this week, The lager is bubbling along just great at 51 deg in my lagering cabinet. The EPA seems to have stopped bubbling a week after I brewed, but no worries, I usually let it sit in the primay 4 weeks...

Last Sat evening, after brewing a batch of EPA, I started steeping the grain for a lager that I was going to brew. Well, I looked at the clock and decided not to finish the boil that night, I turned off the heat, pulled the grain bag out and covered the pot. In the the morning I resumed the...
