    N00b alert.......

    I would recommend spending a little more if you have to and get at least an 8 gal. pot for full boils. Thats what I recently bought and sometimes wish i would have gotten a 10. Full boils usually start with 6.5 gals or so. With a 7 gal pot, that leaves .5 gal space for hops, and room for...

    Teflon Tape - Use it on gas fittings?

    They make copper gaskets for flare fitting if it is just brass to brass, If you have a copper line that is flared with a flare nut, then you dont need one. A flare fitting is designed to seal on the surface, not the threads. Thats why the threads aren't tapered. The tape may have helped seal...

    What could be wrong with my beer....help?

    Ive heard some brands of lme have less fermentables in them. I always use dry ....for a couple reasons and have better luck with it. Either try a diff. yeast or just drink it.

    We @#$%^ Up!
