Sorry, it's just something I use as a reference point (it's like the metric system, with nicer shoes). That braid looks fine to me, I wouldn't think it would cause you problems, hopefully your new stir stick will sort things out.

I saw an episode of MacGyver once, where he used a digital watch and some hairspray to download porn from a parking meter. All I could think was, "Wow, I wouldn't try that". The way I see it, if the first six inches get clogged up, I've got 12 more in reserve. That's the cool thing about...

Soap? Sorry, but that's one nasty looking piece of kit. I know Thai hookers that wouldn't drink out of that, and they aren't all that picky. Ok, here's the reasoning behind my "bucket of snakes", as it was so kindly described. Channeling. Wort wants to find the path of least resitance...

1. Yay! You can count! 2. OMG! Brass fittings! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! 3. Yes, I'm so ashamed. I should have spent extra money on a REAL false bottom, instead of using something I already had. I don't know what I was thinking. 4. Yes, those are to honest to God SS braids. I wanted...

Depends on the carboy, they're not all the same size opening.

And people wonder why I sanitize my ceiling...

8859 + 10gal Kolsch, 10gal Pale Ale and 5gal IPA = 8884

Make friends with someone who has a turkey fryer, and steal it when he's not looking? You could also build something similar from sheet goods, but that would kinda take the adventure out of it. To be honest, I still had one instance of collapse with this rig, after some rigorous stirring...

I cut a notch in the aluminum thingy that came with my turkey fryer. It was more to keep my braids from collapsing than anything else, but it would solve your floating problem too:

Yes, I believe I implied that in my first post (see note to self). On the other hand, I paid them to mill it, and I've spend enough cash at that store to put a blind man though driving school, so I don't think asking them to cut me some slack on my next grain bill is unreasonable.

I think it's more a matter of service than trust, since they charge me for milling. Like really hoppy water. Anyway, the brew is already bubbling after only 5 and a half hours, so bdavanza must know what's he talking about. :tank:

The goats already ate it. At least somebody (er, thing) will get a buzz off this stuff. My LHBS guys are usually pretty good, but the guy on duty that day is a stoner, so....I smell a discount coming.

Thanks! I just got done doing just that. I had 2lbs of light and 2lbs of dark DME laying around, and I was able to dissovle it all in 12 cups of water without scorching my pot, (well, almost..) I also added 3oz. of Malto Dextrine to help with body, and shook the living B'Jesus of out the...

No. I was having one of those days where the phone rings too many times. I figured I'd have to rehop for aroma, I was just wondering if it would be worth the trouble, or if I should just start over. Hoppy

My AG IPA tested 1.010 OG. Crap. Of course I didn't realize this until AFTER I'd pitched it. It promptly blew itself out after 12 hrs. When I emptied my mash tun, I discovered that my LBHS milled the adjunct, but not the base grain, which explains the low gravity. (note to self, check...

The name is a take off on Happy Happy Joy Joy, the Ren and Stimpy song. The av is Powdered Toast Man, from the same show. What it has to do with beer....I have no idea. Hoppy

+1 Whatever you do, don't run a whole pond through. It takes forever to get all the fish and ducks out. Hoppy

Aha. Thanks. Note to self, no more squishing. Hoppy

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but why not? Now I'm curious. Hoppy

Haven't noticed any problems so far. From what I've read, excess tannins are usually caused by high temps, but I could be wrong. Hoppy
