You gotta figure $500 plus for a repaint, it will only look as good as the surface that's under it.......get a couple of estimates if you go this way - If that's a clawfoot, replacing it in fiberglass will be $1000 plus...... If you are going to try to remove it, don't try to lift it out...

Matt - I'm no expert, but I would have expected a fg in the 1.008 or 9 range - right now you have beer with about 2% ABV, but very tasty once it's aged. Likely you should have stayed on primary for a few more days, although you might still get some action with what's left in secondary. If it...

Just hang in there - you're doing fine - sounds like it will be pretty dang tasty! Skol!

First beerporn, now fermentableporn - Looks just superb! I'm so thirsty.... Skol!

Agree with you-dub, it's all about your grain bill, yeast, and fermenting temps. If you're halfway there and it's still working, all is good. .066 is a pretty high OG, I suspect (subject to check) that your fermenting temp is a bit low, which is never bad. Just extends things. You will...

Had a turkey fryer on hand with a 7.5 gallon that will always smell like hot turkey in peanut oil - found a new 10 gallon aluminum pot at Caputo's Produce in Chicago northwest suburbs with a lid and a canning bottom for $28 - gave it a Simple Green wash, then a 10 gallon water boil with a...

Would have been better with a pic or two..... Skol!

:rockin: What they said.....:rockin: IMHO, full volume boils are one of the best things you can do to improve your beers, regardless of how you are coloring your water...... Skol!

Temperature control, organization and pre-planning. Also it helps to have a naughty beer-server: Skol!

My brewlife substantially improved once I started fermenting at a max of 68, preferably 65-ish......... Skol!

Congrats on your first brew, may many more follow in quick succession! :ban: There are a zillion variables that might, or might not, be able to predict if your activity is normal or not - but the only thing for certain is that you DO have activity, and that's great! 98% certainty that...

I rack on top the foam, I bottle on top of it - no worries! Skol!

I regularly rinse my 22's as soon as they are empty, then at bottling time sight check for scum, brush if necessary. Then StarSan for 3 minutes and up on the bottle tree. Bottle right on top of whatever StarSan might still be in there, no issues so far...... I agree that the circulating air...

Mine - initials plain and simple. Loopmd your avatar looks like a boy-swimmer trying to escape........ Skol!

Ya - I would have given a lot to be the one to ask her if she would like a pearl necklace....... Skol!

Just to keep everyone somewhat grounded, my ghetto setto...... Complete with mash paddle and old jeep parts...... If we keep brewing, maybe we'll have visitors.... Skol!

Walker-san - so very happy to hear you are OK. Small world - I had a very similar incident whilst in the shower 6 years ago, uh, well, while considering what something would be like with, uh, some girl I had seen and never met.......called the doc and was taking a ride on the MRI that...

Took a course in applachian folklore many years back - remember reading about skullcracker moonshine - so full of impurities that folks committed suicide to get away from the hangover headaches - likely a myth, but a good story nonetheless..... Further affiant sayeth naught..... Skol!

Ize - go to Menard's - in the plumbing section they have a 10 foot utility hose that has a female garden hose fitting on one end for like $5 - cut it in half, slip it on and hose clamp it - mine works like a charm! Skol!

Most of those side burner tables are rated for like 15 pounds of weight....... Skol!
