hey guys, I brewed a one gallon batch last friday and I forgot to take a gravity sample / reading. Is it too late or should I just give it the 3 weeks I was planning on and make sure to get the next batch?

Glad to hear i was not alone on this. Deff passing this tid bit about blow off tubes onto the next noob.

Just brewed my first batch on Friday, (extract, 1 gallon white house honey porter) and everything went smooth! Checked in on it the next morning and found a complete mess! Trub everywhere! The fermenting beer literally exploded the air lock, busted the inner piece of the air lock into three...

I found this out too!!! Im in Antioch and the Costco near us has Stone by the pallets :ban:. Almost died, they have never carried it before, at least not the one by me.

A buddy and I planned a trip to Oktoberfest during our deployment. When we made it back stateside we booked the airfare and were on our way. We back packed through Europe ending up in Germany and along the way tasted local beers and thinking about how cool it would be to start our own brewery...

Beyond interested in seeing how this beast turns out. good luck keep us posted

oh ive had my fair share of time spent at NTC. Couldnt stand going in August, 115 plus degrees is never fun. I too enjoyed the field a lot more than garrison. In fact i couldnt name a single person in my unit that wouldn't take the field over garrsion.

National Guard, 1/160th INF (40th ID) out of Fullerton Ca. Been thinking about reclassing to 31B, the body is just getting old on me, I tell people Im the oldest 31yo I know.

I'm still getting used to Nor Cal and to me its freezing. Im used to 70 degrees year around. Ive never had to de-ice my car before. HA! Cant wait till it warms up a bit, I get tired of waiting for "frost delays" at the golf course

Yea, theres not really a Knight of Battle, there is a King of Battle and that is Artillery, (well for the Army at least) Ive herd from a few Marines I know say that Infantry is King of Battle. Either way for me its Queen of Battle.

The Infantry is known as the Queen of Battle, after chess. Its regarded as the most versatile piece on the board and in most respects the most important. Ive been in the Infantry the past 13 years and thought "If i ever won the lotto and started my own large scale brewery what would i call it"...

Hey guys, thought I'd introduce myself tonight. I have been lurking around and have asked a few total NOOB questions. I live up in Nor Cal but Im from So Cal, and if you ask anyone from Cal its two different states. Anyway, Just getting started in the home brewing scene, have the keggerator...

If you decide to go that route, and can get your hands on it, try Rustoleum's Spray on liner, its a fraction of the cost and extremely tough. Plus I was able to cover a boat trailer with like two cans. Just my humble opinion.

Gotta be the coolest tap tower I've seen. Great work man.

Best place to find plastic carboys? Ive googled it and there has to be a hundred different options

thanks for the response, and clearing that up for me. Gotta love Google.:mug: -Broast!!!!

Thanks again guys, starting to clear things up a bit.

thanks for the quick response! Side question, (once again NOOB here) I see peoples reciepes calling for 3.3 gallons of water, how on Gods green earth do you measure the .3 of a gallon?

I know this is a little late but was wondering how did the CO2 line go? Where did you decide to instal the line? Any pics? Jon

total NOOB so bare with me on this question but, can you use a plastic 5 gallon Carboy or should it be glass only? I know I have seen the 5 Gallon buckets being used but I haven't seen a plastic 5 gallon Carboy. Any reason for this?
