I have an all grain batch of Blonde Ale in the BK right now. I am following the recipe in the latest issue of BYO. So far it looks and smells good.

I received my cooling jacket this afternoon. I have my FF conical mounted on a wooden frame using the Wall mount arms to secure it to the frame. The jacket fits around the arms and the fermenter perfectly and has plenty of room for multiple ice bottles. It looks to be well made and I can't wait...

I had notification from the company that the jacket I pre-ordered last October is finally going to be shipped. They wanted to verify if I still wanted it and if the shipping address was correct. Will post again once it arrives.

I have a Valley Mill that I purchased in the 90"s. I drive it with a variable speed cordless drill very slowly. With only routine cleaning and maintenance it is still managing great grind output.

I have 4 Corney Pin-Lock kegs that were not used for over 5 years and I contacted MoreBeer.com and was able to obtain poppets, Gaskets/O-rings and new lids for all of them. They are good to deal with and have most of what you need. No problems with my kegs so far. Good luck with the Kegs...

Thanks for the link to the other thread JSGuitar. Seems like most prefer the Pils malt over the pale ale. I may try that instead since it is only $3 more a bag. Will post again to give results/opinion of it.

Hello All, My local HBS has started carrying Avangard German Pale Ale Malt at a good price. I will be going there early next week and was thinking of buying a bag to use as my base malt for various beers. Does anyone have any experience with this malt? Thanks in advance \Clearbeer1:ban:
