+1 hot oxyclean. make sure you rinse and sanitize though after you have soaked

brewing today! (extract) very optimistic for this brew

its not that i can't wait until i get the real thing, its that the LHBS said it will be atleast a week until they get a new shipment of it in. Aside from that i hate driving the distance there just for a little thing of lube. that and everytime i go into the store i walk out 100-200 dollars...

Probably one of the stupidest questions asked in this section, but my LHBS is out of keg lube, and i am looking for some food grade silicone. I have 4 kegs broke down to parade rest, all clean and ready to go with brand new o-rings in hot stand buy. get to the LHBS and they had sold the last...

well i guess that could be doable, its halves on cost left to finish up the project right? if thats the case than i would seriously kick the idea around.

Didn't you know Jonathon, i am your long lost brother? Yup, i think that makes me half owner! I am not greedy though, i will take your old set up, you can have the new hotness.

I had the same issue pop up on me, though the pitting was not horrible. I went the vinegar route with 1/2 cup for my 6.5 gal fermenters. put it in, went to sleep and came back to a nice clean(but vinegary smelling) bucket.

I personally take pride in all steps of brewing, gives me a much better sense of accomplishment after slaving away (maybe not slaving) to have the final product. In my opinion what is another 30 minutes of work to ensure that the bottles are clean and sanitized. besides, it gives you 30-60...

I have done 2 BB kits now. the first one i had the same problem with though. fizzled out at 1.020, but the girlfriend insisted on sending it over to the secondary and down it went to 1.011 after another 10 days. no complaints yet, will find out after they condition a little more though.

I have a batch of BB Oktoberfest sitting in primary right now! luckily i have 2 extra fridges that i can use to lager. The yeast had a lag time of like somewhere between 4-10 hours, during those 6 hours i was asleep and when woke up it was bubbling like crazy. We will see though. Hope for...
