It's my dad's, he collects anything that doesn't move if you know what I mean. It's full, too. No real idea of the age. I took the photo when I was at my folks' in Missouri last week.

Go ahead, I dare you. Hell, I'll even pay you to drink it. ;)

My Jon Lord Memorial Stout. About 2 months in the bottle—I doubt I'm gonna have any left to age for 2 more!

Atonk, is that a giant styrofoam box? Where did you find that thing?

Assuming one would be using a swamp cooler in an air-conditioned space (i.e., humidity-controlled), a swamp cooler would still work fine no matter where you are. If you're attempting fermentation in summer in a garage or someplace where it's likely 8-10 degrees hotter than it is outside and with...

Since I'm in Texas, this is a concern for me as well. If I had the funds readily available and the space, I'd go for the temp-controlled freezer/fermentation chamber—but I don't, so swamp-cooling works for me. Cheap electric thermometer with stainless steel probe, $8 plastic tub from...

Here are some photos of mine, and a link to the cutting video. Angle grinder with a cutoff disk, a pvc 'T', two pieces of slotted angle and some zip ties made for a quick and effective cutting jig! http://youtu.be/xPgasVWYpAk

Put my big ass in there, please. :fro:

Hey sok454, just noticed you're from Chatham... My FIL lives in Springfield and is coming down this week. He's supposed to be picking up some Schlafly's Coffee Stout if he can find it (may not be available yet) or if not, their Oatmeal Stout and/or Porter. Ever see Founder's Breakfast Stout...

First pour from my one-gallon Eye Pee, Eh?

Bottled back on 10/21... Popped the first bottle tonight. Good stuff! Light bodied, not too excessive on the hops, very smooth, carbed perfectly. Day-yam!

While looking through the upcoming Black Friday ads, I spy with my little eye Mr. Beer at Sears for $35. Dunno if that's a deal or not, but I figgered you guys might wanna know. Teensy tiny ad right in the middle of this page: http://www.theblackfriday.com/ads/sears/sears-black-friday-ad57.shtml

Who's headed to the 10-day salute to sausage and beer in New Braunfels? It's the one event that I really get excited about every fall... :cross: And if you're going during the first week, be sure not to miss The Alex Meixner Band playing in Das Grosse Zelt! That's my (then) 5-year-old...

Always worries me to see an enthusiastic starting post and then pffft, nothing. Maybe the car bomb took him out?

Optimum temperature for WLP004 is 65-68F, right? Even with the internal temp being a little higher than your external reading, I'm sure you're fine. Remember, "optimum" doesn't mean "required." As long as you don't spike for a long period above like 75F, I don't think you're going to have a...

First test pour after 2.5 weeks in the bottle. Gettin' good!
