Welcome! I moved here from Summerville 2 years ago. Where you at in Charleston, capntang?

Yeah, and hook me up with a $213 corny while you're at it.

That's a $73.89 Carboy to us San Diego natives. Nice.

Looking for a crowd-pleaser for the general public. I want to know how much of the 6lb of light DME I should sub out with DRE. Also, would Sorachi Ace be the way to go? I don't know anything about Sorachi Ace - what hop would you go with if I can't find any? Any input on IBU and/or hop schedule?

Holy crap, another from San Diego. Seems like we've had half a dozen guys from San Diego join since I got here several months back. We need to have a brew session.

Glad to hear it, because I'm switching from XP to XP 64-bit in a couple weeks. For some reason Beersmith quit working on the computer I'm typing from right now. I've been using it on another computer in the mean time til I reinstall after my upgrade.

Which versions of Vista are you guys running? Not sure if it should matter.

I don't have any experience with Vista... but if it's anything like past OSes, you should try to find if you can run Beersmith in a different compatibility mode. Beersmith possibly relies on its own driver... and if that's the case, you won't be able to run it on a 64-bit OS like Vista.

Holy. Effing. Sheit.

The actual liquid part of the thermometer did not break, right? The red stuff in the bottom is probably some sort of wax, and the beads are some sort of weight, maybe lead. I don't know.

Sounds interesting enough - I might try it for the novelty if someone has a good recipe and good amount to put in. What would you call it? Puffenweizen? :p

Glad to hear it! FWIW, I'm not sure the t-shirt helps at all - at least not until the churning inside has stopped. I've been trying it but haven't noticed a difference. All of that circulation during heavy fermentation will easily keep your temps at 68-69 when in a bathtub with 2" of San...

If you've never been, Tuesdays are two for one, and Thursdays are sprint races for arrive and drive price.

Anyone else ever go to Miramar Speed Circuit? I've been wanting to do one of the 2hr team endurance races with a buddy of mine, but it would be more fun with a team of 4. They're right across the street from beveragefactory.com so we can stop in and check out the kegerators afterwards :p

I'm also in San Diego. I put my carboy in water - 2" to 10" in the bathtub. Alternatively, you can put it in a smaller container of water and cover it with a dark wet t-shirt and put it anywhere you want in your house. I've found that during full-on fermentation, the brew stays about 5...

lol @ "dry hemping" - kudos. Subscribed.

I found this entertaining.

I noticed that I have noticeable sediment at the bottom of my bottles after a week of conditioning. I realize this is more than likely just fine, but is there any benefit in shaking things up a bit to induce a better or faster carbonation? Or should you just bottle and let it sit still?

I tell you what, I like the idea. Perhaps we could save that last 1/4" + its yeast in a jar in the fridge, and pitch it for your next beer... +1 on the question. I guess I should look up how to wash the yeast, but I've been under the impression that it's a little more difficult than just...

I like my wing. That said, I'm leaving in 5min to go pick up a like new Sanyo 4911. Get ready to be bugged in the kegging forum. "HAY GUYZ WHERE DO YOU PUT THE HOLE FOR THE TOWER"
