Thanks for that.

Chimone this is great. Have you checked into the cost side of getting something going? There is always a lot of talk on here about how expensive all the fees and crap is but no one ever says just how much it will cost. I'm also curious, if you are already making good beer of your own...

Thanks then I'll probably just try that. Hated to spend the money on a carboy only to never be able to use it again. Guess I could always sell it on ebay.. :drunk:

guys I was thinking of trying a lambic and I understand I should have a lambic specific fermentor since that stuff is uber tough to kill. Now it says to age 6 months before bottling, would a bucket have any serious adverse effects with that sort of length? Has anyone tried the same batch aged...

guys can I ask what size coupler that is? It looks rather large in the picture but Home depot only sells 4". Is the photo just messing with my mind?

You can get it in 50lb bags as well, if you DL the catalog it lists it. $30 is correct, they have 2 row for $26 as well. I don't know about shipping though. FWIW I just got 18lbs of grain and 2 pounds of hops to PA and it was $10 shipping.

a guy at work had a similar problem and it was a low freon level, now sure how to check it???

I second north country, their prices per lb are good as well.

Well I ended up dumping it, I just couldn't risk having it be infected. The porter was AG and I'd like to think there was no grain parts in it but I can't be certain. I did not wash the yeast, I'm going to be sure to do that from now on. This was the first time I have not washed it and it...

I don't want to switch this up here but is part of the inefficiency due to the heat transfer of the pot? I think what I'm asking is, would there be a big difference if there was a skirt on the pot and the burner was encased to contain the heat? I know my fryer heats the ground quite a bit and...

After my porter finished up I saved a bottle full of the yeast slurry. I've done this before and it has always worked well. I prepared a starter for this coming weekend and now I'm seeing a lot of little black specs, looks like coffee grounds. It is settled down with the yeast. Is this some...

This is great and Applies to most things in life. Like all the driving rants.

Ok. WTF is up with gas mileage? Back in the late 80s to early 90s we had a handful of cars that were getting 45-55mpg, now 20 years later we are lucky to get 30mpg. What gives? For example a 1989 crx hf was rated at 52mpg average, while small these cars were plenty quick and handled...

$30 for shipping seems really, really steep. I could probably get most of those locally for about the same total price, figure $4 a bottle.

I love this thread. WTF is up with fat people being able to collect disability now? I think anyone who is on Disability for weight should be banned from any fast food restaurant and should have a food budget. If we are paying them for being fat we should be able to determine what and how...

yeah, you'll love this, my brother lives in Paradise township and his is where the ban actually is. It is pretty much sweeping through PA. What I really don't get is at the township meeting 3 people where there to complain about 1 property. There were over 100 people at the meeting against...

WTF is up with people who think they need to control everyone else? recently atvs have been banned around the area (rural area), we still can only buy beer at a bar, I don't know the list goes on. Is being able to buy beer at a grocery store really going to have any impact on drinking...

I agree. Cost really didn't play a role for me. I didn't like extract beer and I love my AG. Now I did manage to convert over to AG for really cheap. I had copper already, I had a cooler, built a braid for $15, got an old keg cut for free, borrowed my fathers turkey fryer burner. So...

Looks nice. What is the peice with the red and black hoses? it appears to be a chiller but I see another chiller below it.

this is the case where I live. The state no longer issues the liscense they are already in circulation, you have to pray for another business to go under so you can buy theirs. I also grew up in a dry town.
