Autolysis on the homebrewer sacle has more or less been debunked by most of the most informed individuals I know of. Certainly so when you are talking on a scale of 2-4 weeks.

Oh ok, From this I thought you were thinking of kegging after just a week. JUST DONT. brew more and keep beer on hand and that make it easy to not rush beer. I know, am NOT a patient person.

Do yourself a favor and wait 2 weeks. As already mentioned by me and others, I normally cant taste the difference fom 2 weeks to 4 weeks. ( it has happened though...stouts and other heavy beers) But I have always been able to taste "greens" in 1 week old beer. I personally am a believer that...

LOL. I dont want to know. I have this one.... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IKNJP2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It works fine

yup. you can also use 1/2 durarock (concrete board) or those mats they sell at the boxstores for putting under BBQ's on wood decks. I had a bench with durarock on it before I made my RIMS system it worked great

thats true, but the slightly raised part woul snip with a pair of cutters no problem. And Once you have the tool its maybe $0.03 in stainless wire for a new one. They take maybe 1 min. to put on. I wasnt trying to get the world on board with these things, but I am supprized to hear some of the...

Exactly Bobby. Just bought one from you last night. At least I wont have to do math untill after fermentaion.

great story.

In an attempt to better my understanding of yeast I split my 10 gallon house amber batch from Sat. They were put into 6.5 gallon glass carboys. One was pitched with Wyeast british ale and the other with Wyeast american ale. No starters were used in an attemt to keep things as equal as possible...

Cocobolo and quilted maple chess board. I made this one and its for sale on my Etsy page.

Cocobolo pics

Ever hear of cocobolo? Not only my favorite wood, it is the premium knife handle. In the 20's it was used in all the very best cutlery in NYC due to its high oil content. When you sand it to like 600 grit you would swear that it was laquered. And its practacally water proof.

The top rails of the crib are quartersawn black walnut. I love the stuff too. My favorite domestic hardwood for sure. I just made my mash paddle from cherry. I would avoid the walnut as a mash paddle because of the oils are well know to cause problems in humans. In all reality... its probably...

Thanks. Yeah all natural is teh way to roll. Besides that cherry will darken substantally on its own after years of UV radiation. These a special place in hell for prple that stain cherry. ;D

Turned out pretty sweet

Yes Im excited to quickly read runnings as the come out. Whoohoo. And brooklyn HAHAHa...no doubt man. Im also a woodworker so I get plenty of lashings. But I spent 3 weeks straight building the crib for my daughter expected in June so I earnd some brownie points. :D

Bobby I just sent some money your way. I guess thats a decent way to say thanks huh? :D

Just bought one from Bobby. Dont tell th ewife. I was supposed to finally be "done" with my latest brew splurge

thanks guys. Yeah it sstinks there isnt such an easy solution for all parts of the brewing proccess. But At least this gives you a definitive reading to do calculations, I hate messing with the bubbles and the loss of beer with my hydro.
