I forgot to say in my original post that I may not be able to ship until the weekends. Hope that works for everybody. Thanks!

SOLD Fermentap sparge assembly. Never opened. $10 plus shipping. SOLD - 5 Matched sets of male/female Polysulfone QDs with barbs on the female ends, and 1/2" NPT on the male. Also 1 barbed male fitting. I drilled out the crosshairs on the Qds with a dremel. Some of the insides are a bit...

Hey guys. All these items are price + actual shipping. I prefer paypal. I'll do my best to keep up on my PM box, but If it fills up I apologize. I'll do my best on shipping estimates. I don't do this for a living, so your guess is as good as mine on shipping. My zip is 93313 if you want...

It all depends on if the bee was sanitized or not. If it landed and the boil and ended up getting a few minutes of boil time, I'm say you're fine. Even better than fine, because now you have a story and can use that cool name. If the bee landed in there on the cool side, it could have...

Just an aside on this. I bought this very item from midwest back in 2007. It's still my mash tun. 89 batches later, it's still looks like new on the inside. The outside, on the other hand...

The bubbles of water vapor rising to the surface have always been a dead giveaway for me.

I add the hot, dissolved gelatin to the keg before racking so that the filling action mixes the gelatin solution with the beer.

17532 + 5 = 17537 Used US-05 this time. Blowoff everywhere.

Cool how that works, huh? There's no reaction that has to take place, you're just adding an ingredient. I've done this five or six times. My only advice would be, after boiling and cooling the maltodextrin, don't shake it around or anything, you don't want to oxidize a solution you're about...

So I got a gently used new aluminum pot with for use a HLT, I filled it with water and boiled for 20+ minutes to create an oxide layer that we all know about. The oxide layer didn't really form like I've seen in other aluminum. It formed very splotchy, and didn't resemble the nice, even dark...

I have this exact same setup and it's the ideal temp controlled fermentation setup for 5 gallon batches. My 2cents.

Drinking the first glass of my first batch. 17,248

Go buy an Affligem Blonde six pack. Those bottles are thicker than you average bottle and can probably handle more pressure. Also the labels come off with just a hot water soak. You could also try Duvel bottles. Not longnecks, but worth a shot.

No way you could get all the small particles out with the strainer in your kettle. Use a grain bag next time. FWIW, your beer will probably be fine.

So I received my Top Tier today. Just noticed that the instructions say I should use a torque wrench for the shleves. I don't own one, and neither do any of my neighbors. What did you guys use for this step?

That's awesome. He really gets going around 2:30

You guys guys have me beat, but here's my contribution. CJ's JPA made it onto the ceiling.

When I use dry yeast (which is not often), I boil said water in my flask, cool and then sprinkle the yeast. I let sit, with no shaking or stirring, for about a half hour before pitching. Which, interestingly enough, is my gelatin regimen. Boil, cool to 150, sprinkle, let sit, pitch.

Generally, my beer ends up just as clear if I don't use gelatin, it just takes a lot longer. Often weeks longer.

So help me read this right. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/5A671?Pid=search That means 2 different poles each split into 4, so 2 in 8 out, right? Excuse the bad terminology.
