No, 150 isn't too low.

I have considered using a milk jug as temporary donor for the washer. They get stuck to the face of the cylinder's valve fitting, and then fall off if you don't pay attention when removing the cylinder. I haven't done it, but it came to me as an emergency fix when and if it happened to me...

What he had as a 'Regular Guy' smoothness, he wasted in grossly non-cerebral thinking. He was the poster child for stating the obvious. The 'Taser Segment' was his apogee.

This is immensely helpful and the 'effigy' thing made it click.

http://www.brewingwithbriess.com/Products/Carapils_Malts.htm Carapils seems to be trademarked. Apparently the carmelization and dextrine conversion is done without coloring or flavoring the grain-as crystals do both. http://www.brewingwithbriess.com/Products/Caramel_Malts.htm#CaraVienne...

Are the cara malts done at high temps to be non fernentable, but to varying degrees of L? -pils -vienna, -munich, etc. Is it just that crystals are kilned while still wet? I don't get the diff between cara-whatevers and light crystals...malt descriptions on sites rarely differentiate-they...

Depends on what type of mash you use. Some things really gum it up. Longer than necessary is not a problem, but shorter could be. Whatever you do, DON'T CUT IT SHORTER!

Let bob in!

You might not be brave enough to handle my wife if she did. She has had no fear of getting into chat and talking all kinds of smack while logged in under my username, and I ain't encouraging her to do anything like this. You just don't know Z.

you are wanting to put a gauge on a house type propane gas line and want to use a gauge to insure that pressure? When they install a reg on a house, they get out a sealed water column type gauge and set the screw on the reg to that type of gauge. At that low of a pressure, a needle type round...

Your approach sounds to be working backwards. You decide on a beer you want then you find the ingredients to make that recipe. If you want a light colored beer with no yeast character, then your ingredients are correct. You will select hops that are in style for that type of beer or are...

The beer that the family liked best was a house ale with MO, and both vienna (2#) and munich (1#). Bear in mind that they are tough lot to recondition from the BMC mindset. I went more earthy and floral with the hops (mt hood, fuggles and galena), and I'm about to make another 11G's.

The description of a malt extract is it's color. The basis of a beer-lager or ale is it's yeast. Rather than just dreaming up bizarre questions to post, try to enlighten yourself with the available online resources. Try starting here: http://www.howtobrew.com/intro.html...

I am no expert in chemistry or brewing water building, but I have taken the time to document my experiences in both getting a water test and laying out the path to those who have home water issues and need to find a cure. Unfortunately, you are going to have to learn about water chemistry and...

The site subscription ran out but it's been back up for at least a week or two. As soon as he learned of it, it was taken care of. http://www.howtobrew.com/intro.html

Length of gas line has no effect. Length of beer line should be 7-8', 3/16" diameter. Pressure should be about 13-16 psi, depending on what you like and what you're serving. Try to purge the air from the keg a couple times by lifting the pressure relief valve for a couple seconds each, in...

Distilled or RO water has a different specific gravity than tap water. You want your hydrometer checked at standardized conditions-pure water and correct temp.

Bass is under the InBev umbrella-ignore it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InBev_brands

What guitar did you get? What type of strings? I'd like to see a pic, and I'm sure that there are a few who would like to see how short and fat those sausages are.

I have never even thought about this, because I use a brewing software to tell me how much water to use at dough-in and sparge. If you are doing all this by hand for every brew, you must not be aware of how cheap and easy brewing software is to buy and use. Your IBU's from each addition, water...
