Very nice! My wife is more of wine junky so I'm sure in the future I will have to get wine 101 books...

Well the wife isn't happy but the cases are back upstairs. Lol she will get over it when she has finished beer...

Ok then I pretty much did it backwards. I swear those kit makers tell you that just to get you back in sooner... Uugg

It was a lager yeast Buthelezi it was a kit, I'll grab them and bring them into room temp for a couple of weeks see what they do.

Yeah it called for it. It's not bad tasting it's on the sweeter side. So I should stuff them in the fridge? I have the bottles in the basement right now? Think it will get better?

Thanks

For the lack of sounding dumb what are they for?

hhhmm my small air compressor placed on my racking cane?

Hey all I have two cold plates and im looking for a straight up trade both plates for a wort chiller. One plate is stamped Wo65 its the thicker one and the other is a little thinner but both are single pass.

Good idea.

My only concern is carbonation. How do you know when to throw it in the frig? That would make a messy bomb.

Hmmmm it's 20 deg and I have made ice cream in them. I'm going to boil some water and see how long it takes just to fill my curiosity..

Well this is the newb section:D

Even if it's little small still has to do a better job than ice in a sink.
