    Spike Flex Plus (Or CF) as serving vessel?

    Yes they will. I just fermented a Kölsch in a Chapman fermenter with a temp twister coil and floating dip tube. While doing a gravity transfer through the tapping head on top, the transfer kept stalling. I finally determined that the FTD was getting hung up on the coils. I would jiggle and...

    Stout fermentation temp

    I’m in the South too, and Irish Dry Stout is one of the favorites here. I know a lot of folks here don’t like the Kveik yeasts, but I find it so much easier to throw in a pack of Voss and put a heat wrap on my fermenter than it is to try to keep it cool. Depending upon who you talk to, ideal...

    Firestone/Racetrack keg lids

    If the current situation is hopeless, is it possible to drill out the prv and add a gas post? Then you could place a spunding valve there set to whether you’re fermenting or dispensing. I don’t know; I am sure someone here has a better idea. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Homemade Bread Thread

    Several years ago, I was going out of town for several days to do some field work. I would be “camping” in a barn. I picked up a few food items, including a loaf of bread. It was humid summer weather, and I left the bread in my truck, completely forgotten, for about two weeks. When I discovered...

    I don’t mind losing, as long as someone wins. How about randomly drawing names from all the entries to fill in the remaining spots?

She plans to buy and combine three existing grocery chains; Big Star, Piggly Wiggly, and Harris Teeter. The new chain will be called “Dolly’s...

    First Custom Grain Bill- Thoughts?

    I have only ever used a Corona mill. I have always hit or exceeded my target OG, and only once had a stuck sparge. I blame the stuck sparge on the flaked oats. Just stirred it back up and tried again and it worked fine. I usually measure out my grains the evening before brew day. I grind while...

    Homemade Bread Thread

    The wife did sourdough when we first got married. In fact, she was feeding me the stuff while we were dating. Kids, work, life, got in the way and she abandoned it. Now she has taken it back up and is doing way better than she used to. We gifted ourselves a nice grain mill for Christmas this...
