    MetallHed's First Brew Adventure

    sounds good, or if you've got an awesome dishwasher like mine, load it up and run a cycle with no soap and make sure you have sanitize turned on. Or run it twice, once with and once without soap. I can fit all the bottles I need for a full batch except for 6 into the dishwasher:P

    Stout Faucet, Do I understand this?

    After doing a search and some reading, a stout faucet 1. requires beer gas 2. does nothing else other than give you that "creamy" head is that it, or am i missing something?:confused: does it add some creaminess to the whole glass or just the head?

    glass carboy or plastic bucket?

    Plastic is easy to handle, move when full and replace, but it scratches and stains. Glass is easy to clean, doesn't scratch, but is much more of a pain to move when full and is more expensive to replace. You just pick what works for you.

    Ya have to give credit where credit is due...

    I'd say at this point BMC is nothing more than a money machine built off of cheap beer. The people that now work there can't influence the taste of the flagship beers anymore than you can get McD's to change the big mac even though your the guy makin it. A brewmaster for BMC is mostly just a...

    Ale Pail Accuracy

    Do whats used then, measure and mark what is being used. "Cold" side of dipstick for water going into kettle, hot side for pre-boil after the mash to double check and mark the level on fermentors at Pitching temps.

    What to brew with no central air

    Now I know I'm not the only one, SWMBO keeps calling it a "powder room" and she wonders why I look at her like she's speaking in tongues sometimes...

    Favourite beer?

    Dutchess de Bourgonge for a couple of years now. Every time I take a sip, my tastebuds scream "Thats what the perfect beer tastes like" don't know why, but its just spot on for me.

    Gravity?

    check your hydrometer, take a water reading. Even if its off I doubt it would be in the range of .020 pts or so. It may account for some of it

    My newly discovered bottle storage unit...

    Bump Now I know what to do with the two legal file cabinets that were in the basement when we moved into this house, one is a "fireproof" model with the concrete/cement walls so I know it won't tip over even if I manage to fill it with full bottles.

    SWMBO says I MUST brew in shed, too hot???

    Have you asked if you can ferment it inside, it really doesn't smell other than when your doing your boil.

    Too big of vessel for starter?

    That sounds like an awesome trick to show someone!

    glass carboy or plastic bucket?

    I primary in buckets and secondary in carboys, just how it worked out. I secondary all my beers, and the 2 reasons I do: 1. Its the way I learned how to brew and 2. I lets more stuff settle out of the beer after primary is done, and all that stuff makes me get stomach cramps and headaches. If...

    Methods for blending yeasts?

    Not sure about the making only one starter, but it seems like pitching them at the same time would be better, otherwise one is going to have taken over and not leave room for the other. I would pitch as even amounts as possible, and at the same time.

    NEED OPINIONS! Which one should I keg and bottle?

    I'd keg the wit and IPA, and just let the stout condition till ya finish one off ;) least thats what I would do. I would probably bottle the Wit if I had to bottle one though

    What a deal

    She's ok'd the fridge, even knows where I'm going to put it. Its having it working and something in it before the first round is over that might be the catch. I'm pretty sure she wasn't expecting me to be pourin' so soon. ;)
