Ive got a full on 14c food processor. Could make it go quicker. Already have one of those. I was looking for a cheap hand-grinder at the LHBS, but they didnt have one -- its really more of a Home Wine Store. Ill stop by the Kitchen Everything, if I can find something for $30-$40, Ill...

I was planning on trying a partial mash, but at the LHBS, there was no facility for customers to grind their grains. (I had heard some LHBSs offer this.) I said fsck it and bought what I needed anyway. So any advice on how to grind my grains on the cheap? Rolling pin? Meat grinder...

Part of the disagreement here may stem from differing state laws. Moto above points out that in WI the penalties are quite minimal. In others they are fairly draconian: NJ for example is a 3 month suspension and thousands of $ in fines mandatory for the first offence with a BAC less than...

Looking up the source of this statistic, it turns out that based on a survey of approx 7000 people, it is estimated that about 4 million adult Americans would admit to having driven, "when they had perhaps too much to drink." It is not clear to me how they extrapolate from that 4 million people...

AIUI, one can absorb about 1 drink an hour. Most of the time they quote #drinks to BAC, it's in two hours. So if you take three hours, add one drink, if four hours, add two, etc.

As one tweet I saw put it: DUI levels have gone from Mid-Morning Lindsay Lohan to Buzzed and are now contemplating Minimum Necessary To Speak to Some Relatives.

24 quarts or 6 gal. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I figure there isn't enough room for 5 gals of water plus all the grains. that's why I was thinking of a partial mash. Technically I can barely do a full boil but I figure 5.5 gals boiled down to 4.5 with a 1/2 gal block of boiled and frozen ice...

Thanks. I like the idea of a clone, that lets me go to the store and compare my version to a "reference" version.

So Ive brewed my first beer. Its OK, Im happy to serve it to guests, but Im not going to brag about it. I know a couple of things I did wrong and will correct them next time. The first time was a kit, but I would like to start with a recipe for my second. While waiting for the first to...

Fair enough, Im still curious if that is a reasonable fill level and if my LHBS steered me wrong by suggesting I need to fill the secondary to the neck to minimize air. Id prefer not to water down my next batch if I dont have to.

Interesting . . . you appear to have your secondary not filled to the top. The dude (and boy was he a 'dude') at the LHBS suggested that I should make sure that when I moved the beer to the secondary, I should have it filled all the way to the neck. Something about minimizing the amount of...
