Good one!:)

Just wondering, but does anyone seriously worry about the legal brew limits? And if you post about going over the limits, would anyone be worried about being tracked down by ATF (or being kicked off the forum)?

Ditto. Run the original cold water through a single wort chiller.

What Bluesssman said. Rate of temp drop decreases as the temp differential between wort and chiller water decreases. My wellwater hose dumps into a bucket where an immersion pump takes over pumping through my chiller. When the wort temp drop slows down, I start dumping ice into the bucket to...

Be thankful you were able to type this account afterwards. Anyone still thinking about using propane indoors just needs to read between the lines of the various advice (or definite NOs) and make their own decision. Whatever you choose, you are ultimately responsible and you can't point back...

I'm not the one bringing such a great day. I'm just just enjoying it. I'm thinking that you probably get some pretty good days down in Argentina and I would gladly sit with you and wash down some Argentinian steaks with some fine homebrew. Salud! :mug:

Was up at 5:30AM and in the woods by 6:30 AM for the first day of muzzleloader season. 35 minutes into the season had a nice doe laying on the ground. By 9AM had the quarters and loins in the frig. Ate breakfast and because the wife was busy making apple butter decided to push up my planned...

Anyone have any of the 3 options that JUST fits two carboys? If so, what are the outer dimensions?

I have to ferment in a frig in a detached, unheated garage. I have a mid-size frig working with a dual stage Ranco and all is good EXCEPT I can only fit one batch at a time. I want to pick up a used frig/frzr that can handle two carboys at a time. The frig/frzr would sit right next to my brew...

Are you bottling or kegging? My first batch (and only batch under my belt, so be careful with my advice) was an extract clone of Tommyknocker Maple Nut Brown Ale. 1/3 lb or 150 grams pure maple syrup was added to a 5 gallon boil for the last 5 minutes of boil. 1/2 cup or 120 ml (plus DME) was...

Looks like you are leaving yourself no real choice but to go larger. If money is the issue, consider just using a cheaper ale pail as a primary. If you are already using a bottling bucket that is large enough, consider using that as a primary and change your ferm methods to use the 5 gal...

As for the setup, I need a sign to say Beer/Deer Processing Station. Now that deer season is here in Virgina (bow), I hope to use my garage and kitchen setup for butchering.

Popped my first HB today, a Tommyknocker Maple Nut Brown Ale clone (extract with specialty grains). Excellent, if I do say so myself. Need to stop by my local craft beer outlet to pick up some original and compare. Might also attend a local HB club meeting to share and get some opinions...
