To be fair though, if I am wrong and there are a bunch of people on the boards who have had good customer service experiences with Blichmann, I would really like to hear about it, because the other side is pretty well represented. I would hate for them to be unfairly trashed if the bad...

Very cool! I am in Fort Worth, what club are you in?

I own a couple small Blichman items, but no kettles or brew stands, but my comments are far from "just trash-talking". For one, being in the stainless steel industry, I can tell you that this story about not being able to deliver products because of some crippling stainless steel shortage just...

This is the whiskey lover's equivalent to someone saying they are a true beer aficionado because they drink Guinness and Stella.

Don't screw around and try to half-ass your kegerator. If you know exactly what you want, just do it and you won't be sorry. If you try to get by on the cheap then you will eventually end up spending even more money upgrading it in the future. My wife is the one who talked some sense into me...

No way of knowing if it has fermented unless you take a gravity reading.

They stink unless you want to take gravity readings from your first runnings, first wort, during the boil, and just before pitching without wasting a half gallon of beer. There's no better way to keep a running tally of what is going on with your beer and adjust your processes.

I wouldn't chance it. It probably wouldn't taste very good anyway. Get the girl's parents to reimburse you and start over from scratch, that's what I would do.

The instructions in mine also said to make sure there were no air bubbles or that could throw the reading off. I wonder if it makes a difference how tightly you squeeze the glass down.

Is this a proven design, or an experiment? I have a fridge that would be perfect for this, and I would love to try this out.

My understanding is that once the sample is on the lens, you are supposed to put the cover down so that it is sandwiched between the two pieces and flattened out.

If you are going to name it after Dirk, remember to leave out the Chrystal!

Get consecutive rings and I'll be impressed IPA?

I love Stella, y'all are crazy

That sounds really good, let us know how it turns out. Also, is ten pounds of sweet potato correct? That will likely thin your beer out quite a bit. I make a potato beer, and the most I ever use is four medium potatoes. I have found that a couple grams of spices at a time is usually plenty...

Supporting a business has to be a two way street. They are obviously not very interested in your grain business so don't give it to them. And all you jerks who just want to make smart ass comments have way too much time on your hands. If you have a problem with the post then skip over it...

Also, you sometimes get a thread that has 27 pages of responses. Do you look at every page? That is many times an indication that the question you are asking is one that has many possible answers, and that evolves over time.

Ten people can brew the same recipe and get ten different beers, so the recipe is somewhat incidental.

Kegcowboy.com just sent me a very nice ball lock corny

I totally agree with this and I am constantly amazed at the amount of effort that some people put into posting that they have already answered a question in another thread. If you don't want to answer, then don't, there is no reason to make someone feel like an idiot for asking a question. Also...
