I use masking tape w name, style, ABV, IBU, keg date and Vol co2.

I use it as a hop back after the kettle. With 3 oz of leaf Citra it adds immense aroma and filters the wort very well. Unfortunately, the $40 replacement clamp isn't worth a zip-tie.

Back in business after mangled threads. Zip tie to the rescue!

I've got snow on the ground, that's why I'm considering the porch.

Other than the obvious don't burn the house down hazard which I think is easily mitigated, why not on the porch? I the soldering iron idea is good, but I think I'll pickup an electric grill start iron from Walmart.

And that's after salting? Sounds interesting!

These are all helpful responses. I now have little faith in my ghetto idea. Back to looking for someone with a real smoker.

Yeah thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I'll look for a widget, but 25' of 3/16" ID at 35F for 4 Vol Co2 sounds like a great starting point.

What volumes do folks carb club soda at? I've got something force carbing toward 2.5.

I think I'm doing it on the porch under the eve actually, which will be pretty smokey, but thats ok. I know that after the curing it needs to be smoked below 140 or maybe 120 even, so my real question whats the lower threshhold; how warm does it need to be when "cold smoking"?

Hey Friends, It's my first time; I've got a 20 lb. pork belly in my freezer. I'll probably cut a few slices to save, but after salt curing I'd like to cold smoke it. My plan is to build a disposable smokehouse out of a big heavy cardboard box. The top can be another thick cardboard piece...

Holy crap amazing answers! Lucky newb! At least add some BIAB grains so your wort has the slightest character.

Yeah they work side by side for a single batch. Definitely, need a starter, thanks.

I had a very positive result recently pitching multiple yeasts after thinking I was experiencing fermentation lag due to low cell count. Turns out I had a cracked and leaky airlock stopper. It could be that the original culture did all the work, but after pitching two more differing strains of...

Very Nice!

Huh. I'm excited to use them! Your beer sounds great, my gut is asking if you simply under pitched! The big malt requires a big yeast bill. Before you lighten up, pitch up. I have approached the same challenge when building high gravity, higher volume beers.

I just got William's Southern Hemisphere Pellets bonus hops including Jade, Galaxy, Gem, Topaz and Summer. I've only tasted a few beers like Sierra's SH which is bright, aromatic and grassy along with some similar home-brews. What do folks think of these hops in their modern American style...

Looks fine thats why nobody said nothin' :fro: No idea about the chocolate in the secondary though. Have fun.:drunk:

Good post, thanks.
