Grommets are okay, but I just drill my hole with a 1" wood bit and use a #6 stopper. You do need a hydrometer and I recommend stick-on thermometers (just don't get them wet for extended periods of time). The bottle filler is very handy and fairly cheap. You can get by without it, but you'll...

That's a great idea, but watch for scratches and steer clear of pickle buckets.

Also, I have one of the cheapest 2 keg setups that I can imagine. I got fantastic deals on the fridge and kegs. It still cost me ~$300, and I'm only using picnic taps. I'd definitely start with bottles.

Others may disagree, but I don't care much for some of the items in that kit: The ale pails are notorious for not sealing properly, since they have no lid gasket. I'd go with the white food-safe buckets from Home Depot instead (~$7). They're only 5 gal, but recipes are scalable (a chem major...

Greetings, indeed!

So...how was it?

Welcome, Groucho! :mug:

My last 50# sack of 2-row took 8 days to arrive. It's the first time I've received a 50# sack that was completely contained in its box. I think it has more to do with UPS going all American Tourister Gorilla on the box than it does with Midwest's packaging. Again, I am pleased with their...

I agree with you on damage mitigation, but I think many of the true believers would see any goodwill gesture from MW as an admission of guilt. I have written to MW to ask them to please be more forthcoming about their investigation. Their response was that "Our last post still holds true, and...

Out of curiosity, if you are correct...wouldn't that mean that they would be able to steal CC info of every purchaser, not just the ones who store their info? Thanks in advance for your insight.

Your sarcasm meter is broken. I was (fairly obviously) satirizing the above post that reads, "Has anyone totaled up the number of people on this thread with fraudulent charges possibly connected in someway to Midwest Supplies transactions? I would love to know the number of people whose cards...

I'm too lazy to read the entire thread. Can someone please count for me the number of people that have presented proof that Midwest is responsible for the fraud on their credit card?

I do. I order from Midwest.

I'm both shocked and amazed that more HBT members that shop at MW have been victims of CC fraud since April. It's almost as if this is an epidemic in our society or something. So, how much in actual dollars have you permanently lost due to MW's supposed negligence?

The pics look to me as if there is still active fermentation going on. If you dry-hop while the yeast is still active, some will glom onto the hops and go along for the ride (your weird stringy looking stuff). How long did you primary before adding the hops?

Yes, it's exactly like that. In fact, you should probably cut up all your cards now, destroy your computer and cellphone, and adopt a strict cash-only policy. Better yet, just barter for what you need.

For some reason, this reminded me of my grandad's brand new K-car (he owned a Chrysler dealership). It would say, "the door is ajar...the door is ajar..." ad infinitum every time the door was opened. It was cool the first time, but got old VERY quickly, as you might imagine (or remember, if you...

I don't see a problem here. What you have is beer. RDWHAHB! Check this thread for some really gnarly infections: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/post-your-infection-71400/
