    Here's another use for spent grains

    Maybe I missed it, but after feeding my dogs spent grains and smelling their farts for the next day, I'm surprised nobody has talked about deer farts, or maybe deer beer farts..... skol!

    Based on the extra 1.5 lbs of DME, looks like you hit it pretty close! Treat it with care, it will be delicious! Skol!

    How to estimate FG?

    Todd - the way it was explained to me, when I asked the same question, was to take your OG times your yeast attenuation - so a 75% attenuating yeast - working optimally - on a wort of, say, 1.06 would be finished at 1.015........ Skol!:mug:

    What made you start Homebrewing?

    Quality is number one. Also wanted to track down what I thought was an allergy to sulfites - sure enough, no such problem with HB! Skol!

    turkey fryer

    I doubt you can ever remove the taint of 350 degree turkey oil - you're halfway there, either get a new pot or wait until you see the set on sale and ante' up for a new one - last fall my local Menard's had the entire thing on sale for $19 on two occasions............. Skol!:mug:

    What is whiskey?

    Over my head Todd, but I do know that fermentation occurs, then the liquor is heated until the alcohol boils off, where it is captured and condensed - it's then cut to strength and aged in charred oak barrels, in the case of whiskey. Can't drink the stuff..... the smoothest vodka I ever...

    do I really need a wort chiller?

    Thought I remembered hearing that McDonald's ice contained more contaminants than a swab of their bathroom floor? Sounds like boiling / sanitary freezing might be the way to go, if you aren't wort chillin'...... Skol!

    Pretty close to an ideal woman, just needs a little beer training....... I'm no graphics expert, but somebody somewhere needs to steal the image and create a label......... Skol! :mug:

    HBS reusing boxes...

    As a science project a couple of years ago, I helped my son make a PVC water filter to demonstrate various media - in a 2 inch diameter PVC pipe 2 feet long, we covered one end with cheesecloth, then stacked (bottom up) 1 inch activated carbon, 2 inches diatemacous earth, then 6 inches of clean...

    Anyone making any money?

    He's just doing his best to chase the kids away........ or maybe it's a balance thing, along with the dry month... Either way, gotta feel sorry for the guy having that original image on his computer... Skol!

    Using McCormick Extracts in bottling bucket

    BP - I know the guy who wrote that - can tell by the style - he converted that same recipe to extract for me and it's the hit of the summer - used McMormick's raspberry extract in the bottling bucket - the taste was a bit strong at bottling plus two weeks, but at three weeks it had begun to...

    Last Call for a Clone Recipe

    I know this is old news, and I prefer doing beers with a little more uh.....character, but I'm looking for an all grain Blue Moon clone recipe to keep SWMBO happier - I'd love to see a recipe that was done by someone who's name I at least recognize - I've searched to find quite a few, but the...

    What the hell is this? (or, "please help identify this")

    Speaking from experience, that's a low speed switching apparatus for a flux capacitor - the tough part is adjusting them - you can only do it with a metric crescent wrench..... Skol!

    Just ordered my kit

    Bill - Welcome Aboard - you're gonna love this stuff - read your instructions for a couple of days when your kit arrives, think about process, keep sanitary, watch your temps, all will be good. my only suggestion, just personal preference, is get 22 oz bottles if you are going to buy them, half...

    Death and homebrew

    Taking a break

    I agree that the one or two a day is pretty harmless and it DOES cause your stock to dwindle quicker than expected. One side effect I'm battling right now - I lost 40+ pounds in 2000 and have kept it off - discovered HB in 01/06 and have gained back 12 - the beer hasn't contributed, but the...
