    Keg Drilling Pilot Hole Problems

    x10000 Cobalt is the way to go when drilling stainless. If you have a drill press with cobalt, your almost unlimited.

    New 10 Gallon Herms! Pics!

    Hey pol I am slightly confused on how much water I am going to need to actually brew. I have a 2000w heating element, that stays submerged at about the 4 gal line. You start off with 9.5 gals right? Then you add strike water which is roughly 3.5 gal right? (depends on grains etc.) Then your...

    Counterflow Wort chiller ---- DIY vs. Just buying

    I am still new to brewing somewhat. Does this work better than recirculating back into boil pot until arriving at final temp? I have been worried that my tap is not cold enough for 1 run straight into the fermenter, when pumping it. Also does everybody pump it at full open through a pump?

    Does anyone have a Bichmann Boilermaker?

    If everybody emailed them, maybe they would change the design.

    Polar Ware Stainless False Bottom

    It is very nice and well made. It is pricey, but has quality. It has very sturdy legs on the bottom for keeping it elevated.

    Advice on new Brew Kettle

    I picked up the 40quart 10g polarware a while back. I then added the ss false bottom. I think what you want is a heavy gauge stainless pot. (I also believe in buying things once principal) Also dont throw out the thought of a keggle. (cheapest route to stainless) You can get a cheaper aluminum...

    Shiner Turns 100 Years Old

    I always pass by their brewery when I go hunting. Most of their stuff is better than BMC, but nothing really that makes me go Oh Wow!

    Do you like filet mignon?

    first time in 09 are you insane? LOL I have used altons method several times for beef tenderloin. Dry Aged Angus is the way to go, however some have been better than others. It all depends on what the cow eats, and its genetics. Try the beef tenderloins from sams club, they are USDA choice...

    Word of warning : Don't Leave Full CO2 Tanks in Hot Car!

    Check out what happened to a guy on my car forum that had a nitrous bottle blow up. If you have a safety valve malfunction it can kill you. This is the same as a co2 bottle in size. The black part is the bottle shredded apart. This car was in mint condition before.

    Worst Shipping Ever

    x20 on the fed ex thing. I had those ******** say undeliverable to my house with my sons birthday gift 3 or 4 times in a row. I wound up going to the actual warehouse to pick it up. Talk about lazy effers. I paid for delivery, and wasted my gas going to pick it up. UPS will beat the crap out...

    Damn stores and their rush to get you out the door near close!

    I had a guy screw me on a computer motherboard one time on ebay. He sent me an older model. After going round and round he didnt want to refund or change things. In order to get my money back through paypal, I had to show a package going back to him. I sent him back even older computer parts...

    Don't cry over spilled beer... aka Brewery 2.0 christening

    You should go down to harbor freight, or local tool supply, and get a large step bit. I used this today with great success. (they have many uses in homebrewing) I just drilled from bottom of cooler through the other side using caution to not go to go past 1.25. These bits give you a nice...

    Counterflow Wort chiller ---- DIY vs. Just buying

    X2 that I what I have. I have found that having the input/output in same direction, makes things better. I have submersed mine in ice water in a cooler before. (this works well being that it is all copper)

    I've Had it With These POS Traceable Thermometers!

    I threw mine out, after it wouldnt calibrate. It wouldnt let me set it to boiling water. IMO they are cheap and a POS.

    New 10 Gallon Herms! Pics!

    Hey Pol it has been a long time. I have a few more questions. How high up does your heating element come up in the MLT? (I am concerned my 2000w might be longer) What did you say was the minimum amt of water you want in the HLT to keep element covered? Is there a way to get the magazine...
