Starsan costs more per package, but goes much farther. You only need one oz per 5 gallons of water. I just switched over to it. I had been using One-Step before that. I never had problems with One-Step and I didn't change if the water cooled off. I usually filled the fermenter and then...

I used to boil my top-off water when I used tap water as the top-off. But I split it up among three pots, even with a gas stove it took awhile. That's why I was asking. I eventually moved on to just topping off with bottled spring water.

If you can, get a turkey fryer! I have gas stove and it used take me a long time to bring the wort to a boil. After the turkey fryer, no problems! But if you can't, I guess boiling the 1.5 gallons would work as long, just as you've said, you adjust the hop schedule accordingly. Do you boil...

BC Products replied to my e-mail suggesting the use of wire brush to remove the rouging. Which I did last night and all of the spots are gone. No more water for my BC. Brush and air to clean it.

Vacuum sealed and in the refridgerator if they are crushed worked for me. I had leftover specialty grains that I did not get to for 5 months. Decided to make a brown ale and use up all the leftovers. Beer ended up fine...

I used the sprayer at my sink. It did not cake on, it actually was quite clean afterwards. Just didn't dry as diligently as I thought. I definitely won't make this mistake again! Thanks for the ideas! I will try to e-mail the guy and ask how to remove. I will also invest in a wire brush to...

I got my barley crusher a couple of weeks back and used it for the first time two weeks ago. Great product! I love it. I had read that cleaning it should be done with compressed air. I don't have that option so I had rinsed with water and then towel dried the parts. It seems I didn't dry good...

High Falls in Roch, NY makes Genesee and JW Dundees brand beers. Of which, I don't drink either and I'm from CNY... Brooklyn Black Choc Stout is fantastic! On draft its even better. I was not a fan of the Marron. I gave the other three bottles away. I just bought the bomber of Smutty Really...

I totally agree. I found it my accident. The beer store was selling it for $1.55 on-sale so I bought a couple. Its one of my favorite beers.

I like the Winter Lager and its a pretty good go to beer when out in places that only carry BMC. Their Old Fezziwig Ale is, IMO, the best beer they make. They should put that out in 6 pks during the holiday season.

Holy hell was this beer bad!! I tried this last night. The smell after I popped the cap was instant skunk. Had no real taste to speak of. I will say that the taste wasn't laced with skunkiness which usually accompanies that smell. Anyone have this beer and thought differently? I'm wondering...

Saranac brews are pretty solid. Their regular and summer sampler packs are the best! Their winter sampler is usually way over the top. I hear the Vanilla Stout in this year's winter pack was awful. Their O'fest is good.

I have doubled production in '08: 2007: 23 gallons 2008: 48 gallons
