Unless you go local, I would recommend Brewmasters Warehouse as well as many of the other online shops b/c you cannot beat the 6.99 / 7.99 flat rate shipping.
Can you not go pick up your order from the store?
If you tell me no, then I will be bummed b/c I am planning on meeting Ed and buying a few things over the holidays.
Brewed this last night and hit on OG of 1.069 for an efficiency of only 71%.
This brew is going to be awesome.
Efficiency could be better, but only my 2nd AG and I need to hurry up and get another few kegs so I can condition.
Quick question: If I am about to order 2 Perlick taps would it be worthwhile to just purchase two Perlick creamer faucets instead of one creamer and one regular?
It seems like the Perlick creamer faucet is the "jack of all trades" b/c it will give a nice clean pour for blondes and a creamer...
When you put it in the keg/secondary, do you have a modified lid to accommodate an airlock? Or do you just fill the keg, put the lid on, and place it in the fridge (no CO2)?
x2....awesome customer service, great packaging of ordered items (the yeast was packaged in foil covered bubble wrap envelopes), and ultra fast shipping <24hrs from door to door. A few of the ice packs were still solid and ice cold.
I am topping it off with water in the primary. We took a reading before mixing a few batches ago and quickly realized our mistake; however, it was before the yeast was added and the lid was snapped.
We made sure this time to stir and we usually use the siphon to pull a sample.
I have been searching and have not had any luck, but does anyone have any recommendations on what fabric/thread to use for a grain bag as well as a hop bag?
Also, any tips or tricks I should be aware of in making my own would be appreciated.
