I saw your post in another section about buying a new kettle. I was wondering if you were upsizing a bit.

The commercial breweries I've visited has a lip or ring on the inside of the vent hood & ducting. As the condensation rolls down the sides it's caught by the lip and routed to a drain.

I brew using a two burner camp stove. The burners are rated for 60k btu and it came with a traditional gas grill 10in/hg regulator. The burners look identical to the Bayou Classic ( http://bayouclassicdepot.com/bg12_cast_iron_burner.htm.htm ). My house is plumbed for propane and I have 2psi...

I use an old style heating pad that does not have the auto off feature. My fermentation fridge is located in an unheated garage and the heating pad is able to keep a large side-by-side fridge at whatever temp I desire when the garge get's into the low 40's. I have a dual output Love controller...

Did it require a purple pill?

Composted spent grains would be great but just dumping your spent grains around your hops might not be such a good idea. Deer, groundhogs and opossum love to visit my compost pile after brew day.

Generally I'd say your average beer bottle can take it but like everything there are no absolutes. Hold several bottles up to the light and you will see the glass vary in thickness. The higher pressure you run the greater your chance of finding that 1 in 100 weak bottle. If carbing in the...

Don't write off the first year. In my first season I had great production from Cascade, Magnum and Nugget. Cascade seems to grow well for everyone so that would be a safe one to start with.

Has anyone done a good, detailed comparison between S-04 and S-05? I've used S-05 quite a bit and love it but I don't have nearly as much experience with 04.

I forgot to mention that the Cascade I started in a pot with 16-18" deep soil had several large roots growing out the bottom of the pot and into the ground by the end of the season. After seeing that I knew why it was doing so well. Prior to that I did not know how the pot could contain enough...

The Beer Gun mostly works but there are two things I don't like: It is quite slow. They rely on a long small diameter supply tube, a really tiny beer line down into the bottle and running the keg at very low pressure to prevent foaming. Filling a bottle takes at least twice as long+ as...

Gotta love that "pfff, ka-chung" sound.

I have two bines growing outside the back porch of my office. They go vertical for 8' and then horizontal for another 8-10'. The vertical was no problem but I had to train the bines once they got to the horizontal since they always wanted to go vertical. They still grew and produced well. I...

I grow mine in 75% composted cow maneure, 25% my native crappy soil. The bines did very well with the very organic soil. I started one Cascade in a pot and it did very well on the normal Miracle Grow brand potting soil and it would go several days between waterings. Despite everyone saying...

I wonder if it is patented and not available to the general public.

This page has a pretty complete list of acronyms.

I plumbed my brew rig into the houses propane (fed by a 1'000 gallon tank) after running out one time.

What's the hydro test date on your cheap cylinders. You may have to pay extra when you exchange them if they are out of date.

I would plant them in the largest pots you can find so you can take them with you in August. How much watering they will need depends on the soil you use. With store bought potting soil I had to water every other day but ones planted in some home made compost which was almost 100% organic...

Man I wish you were a little closer to me. I've got Sterling and Northern Brewer I'd love to trade.
