F$& that. I am making a kosher kolsch tonight in honor of Passover ( tonight btw) to be dunk in a month or so.... Timing is key on these issues and it seems the brewery owner is going for gold on a recent event.

Judging by your forum name it may be best you not judge by doing this every night!!

Glad I am not the only one. One thing I have thought (engineer here not biologist) is that the body metabolizes ethanol into sugar, maybe that give you (us) the energy, of course drink enough and the depressing effect of alcohol takes hold.... Just my thought and worth every penny you paid for them.

Northwest Houston. Blichmann hop blocker for sale used it 3 times. Works great except it gets in the way of my immersion chiller on my setup. $30 gets it it in the box with instructions. I am locate in NW Houston (champions area to be exact)

Sounds like we have the same kids! Sometime I think they are just testing my skills!! Now if I only had little Asian hands for assembly work.... Thanks for the thoughts guys. I was hoping to not have to take it apart, but it looks like that is what I am going to have to do.

I think I have a stuck check valve in one of the gas shut offs on my manifold. I think the previous owner got beer in the gas line and it got up to the check valve. Any thoughts as to how to unstick the valve?

Stating the obvious, but a cheap fridge with a temperature controller?

Second the blichmann.

Blichmanns spare parts page has them. I am pretty sure I have seen at least one online homebrew shop that carries them, but I can't remember where.

None if you have a setup where it's easy to control.

Actually don't go through the mash schedule, I just do a single infusion to around 154F. It makes a great beer that always gets high praises.

Look up Charlie Papazians "Puna Coast Black Lager" it is nearly all pils.

Yeah I actually don't want to ever let it go just because it helped win the war. It is one heavy sob though.... Hence why I am looking at aluminum 20 pounders

Don't knock the old tanks, my current 10# tank was manufactured in the 40s I think 1942, but maybe 1944

Thanks guys, I was looking to purchase, not sell. I will probably wait to find one in current hydro.

What's the value (in your opinion) of course of an out of hydro 20lb co2 tank?

Find a local club, tell them what's up and maybe they will only have you pay 3mos worth of dues. Many clubs have a club system or possibly meme era that would allow you to make the wort on their system. It will be a bit tough to get real consisistancy, but you might get to try a lot of different...

I always tell people I don't want to ruin a hobby I truly enjoy by making it my job. I find most people understand this sentiment, and yes I will never have a commercial brewery.. And I am good with that.

Try searching plastic conical, I know people use them and I think generally with good results. Off the top of my head I think sealing the lid is the biggest issue.
