In January I was in St Louis for business for a week and hit some of the local beer scene. Schlafly's was a good, widely available beer. I especially liked Square One and Mattingly Brewing

I've used White Labs WLP051 Calkifornia Ale yeast with excellent results

I have far better success using just a muslin bag vs using a tea ball

I grew 3 cascade plants this past summer and harvested a few ounces (not sure on amount) of hops off of them. Not bad results for 1st year plants. I've used them to dry hop some pale ales.

Possibly a dumb question but I'm going to be using whole flower Cascade in a recipe calling for pellets. Should I use same weight measurement or increase/decrease?

I finally (hopefully?) have figured out my foaming problem. My relatively new kegging setup only has 4' of 3/16 line so I'm guessing I have too short of line. Now I see 6' being suggested but is there anything wrong with going longer? I hate to get 6' and then realize I needed 7' :laughing:

I believe that chest freezers are better than fridges for things like that. I have a chest freezer, just trying to figure out the cheapest way to do a tempature controller Check Craigslist for free/cheap freezers and fridges

mini masher here

I've never filtered my hops in any way. Some don't make it to the primary from the pot, the rest get left behind when I rack to the secondary.

Craigslist is the way to go. I found a free fridge, probably late 60s/early 70s judging by it's Harvest Gold paint scheme. I repainted it and it's the perfect size for a kegerator

Fat Tire labels come off extremely easy in my experience as well

Real Ale Pale Ale Real Ale Rye Ale Sam Adam's Boston Ale Shiner Boch

people strain the hops out of the beer? hmmmm

:) Got an old fridge for free for my kegerator. Classic 70s Harvest Gold with rust accents. That was fine in my old place where it was in garage but at the new house it's in the kitchen so the g/f said it needed to look nicer. My son helped me come up with the idea on what to paint it.

Their Fat Tire clone is better than real Fat Tire. I'm lucky, AHB is my local brew store, I am currently brewing a Fireman's #4 clone, which is a local brewer named Real Ale

I'm brewing a clone of Real Ale's Fireman's 4 "Fireman's #4 Blonde Ale This light bodied blonde ale is perfectly balanced with a touch of Crystal hops for bittering and aromatics. Fireman's #4 is a great choice on any hot Texas summer day or pair it with spicy foods to help you put out the fire."

I lived off 33 right next to Ridgefield, 68 Scarlet Oak Dr. Love it if you had a digi camera to take pics of the old house :D

off topic but I grew up in Wilton, 70-82 :D small world

Because of the properties of CO2 (stored as liquid) the gauge really won't move till it is almost empty. The high pressure side gauge is about as useful as the oil light in a car :)
