Op is indeed my hubby

Where did my husband go? Mike!! Come fight your own battle!!! ;) ;)

Ha ha a luau. We will be living in 40 acres homesteading. There will always be an outdoor option, heaven forbid that were to happen.

Lol I don't even know this Matt person, but I guarantee he is making a friend in my husband for arguing the opposition for him lol. Problem is, I'm the wife and I'll win every.time. ;)

No, not that the pricing is cheaper than everywhere else. I am saying the pigs I want are middle of the road in size and therefore a few hundred dollars as opposed to the insanely tiny pigs that are a thousand.

There are pigs that stay around and even under 20 pounds, yes.

I have done a lot of research, contrary to what my husband would believe :P I have found the pigs in the smaller range from reputable breeders for a few hundred dollars as opposed to over a thousand. The pigs I am looking at are middle of the road in size and weight, not the tiny juliana's that...

Wasn't your wife the one who went and got a membership on home brew talk so she could learn all there is to know about brewing to surprise you with the most awesome brewing gifts ever for Christmas? She sounds pretty amazing. I think you should get her at LEAST one pig, not the 40 pounds ones...

No fighting, boys!! This is a happy place!! Okay, so I am doing temp control. If I buy the things he needs to kind if diy I'm liking at the stc1000@ $22, the new belt at $22 and the fridge at $30. What do I need for yeast? The flask ~$20, the plate ~$40.... He likes any beer with alcohol in it...

Alright.. so.... Equipment to heat and cool brew Bottle rinser Refractometer?? Some kits Sound sufficient?

And less for your " swmbo" to clean ; )

So if it is apparently considerably cheaper why wouldn't everyone biab?

What's the difference between all grain in a mash tun to biab?

Okay, so if I were to tell him to stfu and do whole grains how long does it take in actuality (because he, like most of you, can't give an accurate estimation worth a crap)? I only ask because we have 3 under 2 1/2, the youngest being 6 weeks, so you never know what can pop up during a brew...

And apparently he feels he needs to learn how to tweak his extracts and become good at that before delving in to whole grains. GUYS!!!! I'm back at square ONE!! HELP!!!

So through my fishing yesterday I have learned that aside from the complicated-ness is that it is super time consuming? He said 3 hours to brew as opposed to 1 for extract. Any opinions on that?

Oh my God that is disgusting lol

What's the boneyard?

Lol to answer tagz... a lot and a lot.

Okay I'm going to sit on my thoughts for the night, no business is going to ship tomorrow anyway. I of course will continue to welcome any advice. Also, his sn on here, because he is so creative, is MikePote in case any of you run across him in his drunken forum perusing and should like to fish...
