I recommend the Stainless Pint Glass. I bought one. My wife took it. I don't think I'm getting it back.

Friend who got out of brewing gifted me all his hops in his freezer, and a bag of grain. Only notes he has on it was "BYO Magazine Bacon Porter" Anyone have the recipie? I'm just going to hop it like a normal porter. Upside, it's only costing me a pack of WLP002 English Ale Yeast. If it's...

I ended up going with 4 pounds goldfinch. OG was 1.048. Don't get my usual efficiency. Mash Schedule: 120F for 30 minutes 158 for 60 minutes 163 for 30 minutes. 4x Batch Sparge to collect 8.5 gallons pre boil. Hops were cones from a friend's Hop Bine. Believed to be Fuggles. They were...

I had drank a Hefewizen, but that was at 8pm then I went to bed.

I'm doing a partial mash in a HERMS system, .025 crush, and it seems to recirc fine with rice hulls. That said, I am getting a bit of grain particles in the Boiler, so maybe a panyhose over the outlet of the hose as you transfer to the BK.

They don't still?

My old job (I just quit yesterday) I had a copilot that wouldn't bathe regularly. Just hosed himself down with Axe. The showers are less than 20 feet from our room, and you don't even have to go outside.

Seeing the combination of what people are paying for RO, and the varied TDS in it, makes me glad that my city water isn't horrible, (just very variable) and an RO system will be easy. When I lived in Casper, WY, our water was super hard, and I went through softner salt like it was going out of...

What info would be best to have to call in? Water pressure Most recent water report? "Dirtiest" season report (usually spring)?

Russ, I'm currently overseas, will be home in a few days. I'll have better info as far as water pressure and such when I can get home and measure it as well.

I'm looking at RO being my next big "consistency" step as my city water varies wildly season to season. And short of buying a (rather pricey) test kit so I can see what's coming out of the tap TODAY, I'm at best, guessing at what I'm starting with. I'm in Virginia Beach, VA. I brew in my...

Body Count- Bloodlust. Ice T does pretty darn good as a Metal Band

I had a really hard to find leak that was the bourdon tube inside one of the low pressure gauges. Never sprayed it. Found it by turning EVERYTHING that made noise off and listening for the leak.

Those who built an interlock in.

I might get my wife's Gluten Free Lambic done on the 31st. Flying home across 9.5 time zones in the 30th so it's going to depend on how jet lagged I am.

Thank you.
