Absolutely not!!!! That's perfectly fine!!! .....Return to DEFCON 1. Or National Security blue.....or whatever the low one (which we will never see) is. Perfectly normal!!!!

Are you doing a good job stirring the mash up? Big temp drops/changes like that make me think you've got hot/cold spots lurking in there. No prob with the time of mash, and there should be no bad effects from dipping a bit low to start. Jsut hit your 15? range and let 'er rip. Are you going to...

Yeaaaaa, I've always had my eye on the Jaguars. I've just never had the chance to really play one for an extended period of time to get a good feel for it. Interesting thought tho. the plot thickens.....

Me. too. :D I played through high school, then never made the college squad as a walk-on. I was a lefty first baseman, decent average hitter with some power but I was slow as mollaaaassseeesss. I would routinely turn doubles into singles. The proudest moment of my high school career was scoring...

Seems like someone was boiled with too much bittering hops as a young lad. ;) ...And you are definitely not from baseball country. :D

I agree with zoe....it is most likely fine. Keep an eye on it, taste it when you rack to clearing tank (if you plan to) and, if you want it to really calm down, read it a nice bedtime story. I suggest Scuppers The Sailor Dog. ;)

By next year, make sure she knows what a 10 gallon insulated mashtun is. ;) good stuff!!!!

Agreed. Humans should know better. Dog, any day.

I've been slowly building up the guitar collection over the last 5-6 years and I'm in the position to make another 'investment', so I'm lookng for some input from fellow guitar players/collectors to decide which way to go next. I'm a Fender guy at heart, so I'd like to possibly branch out the...

I have not, because she might tell me to stop using it. and by definition, I'd have to do so. :o

Negative!!!!! We've got to fill one more spor this week....c'mon HBT'rs!!!!!

It looks like you have to fill out the bracket by Thursday, and the first games are on Friday (I think!). I, too, know dick about basketball. Though I always smoked people in HORSE with the one-footed big lefty sky hook......:rockin:

Same as Ize......currently blasting Peace of Mind into Foreplay/Long Time in honor of the newly departed Brad Delp. RIP to the man behind Boston....

I get a me-boner looking at that conical.......

Welcome to the board, fellow NE'r. For a Boston guy, central Vermont is usually where I stop for gas on the way to Burlington for Magic Hat growler refills. ;) :D Seriously, though, welcome....you've stumbled upon one of the best homebrewing resources that exists....eva. Cheers! :mug:

For the pils I did, the mash schedule was as such: Dough-in @ 104F Protien rest @ 127F (20-25 min.) Mash @ 151 (60 min.) Mashout @167 It's still lagering, though. Haven't tasted it yet. :(

treehouse, i tend to disagree with you across the board. first off, partial mashing and full boils are compatable (if you have a big enough kettle), but even partial boils are not an issue if you compensate for the different hop utilization levels. Most all PM kits take this into account, so...

For the record, I've got a few spreadsheets that will calc out hot water infusions for step mashing on my home computer. I could email them along you you are interested. Multi-step, IMHO, is a must-do with wheats, pils.......efficiency with both and clarity with the pils. For lots of other...

That SUCKS, dude. I recently found a little plactic elbow for my sparge arm on the kitchen floor.....I'm definitely on track to throw something important out. Regardless, I think you should just fess up to SWMBO. Make sure she know how important this is for you. Let her know that you need...

Turkey fryers kick butt. Just say it with us, class, "We don't use the turkey fryer inside the house." Gooooood kids. :)
