If I may ask, what is your source of said blue barrels.....or are they something only you can get? Gedvondur

I did a little research and a 16.9oz bottle of Iodophor runs about $7.95 and can make 169 gallons of sanitizer. That's using the recommended 1/10 of an ounce per gallon for a solution of 12.5 ppm. To make the same amount of solution (169 gallons) with One-Step, (using One-Step's recommended...

Ummm....I hate to be a jerk about this but.......Hydrogen Peroxide certainly does act as an anti-bacteriological agent. It is a sanitizer. From Wikipedia: "Hydrogen peroxide is GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) as an antimicrobial agent, an oxidizing agent and more by the US Food...

Heh, I would be willing to consider driving down from Wisconsin for one........ Gedvondur

Just about every hobby requires research and learning. It wouldn't be any fun otherwise. I get the impression you BIL was just looking for the "cool factor" without any of the work. I am careful about what hobbies I get myself into, I can't imagine hammering out one batch of beer, being...

The pails have a pretty good seal, the one I got (7.5 gallon) from Northern Brewing had a rubber gasket. I can't remember if our smaller fermenter (6.5 gallon) has a rubber seal or not. I would suggest getting a nylon brew hauler if you are going to deal with moving glass carboys or use a...

Well this has been an amusing little discussion. I would have to say that it is a true eleven gallon pot, full right to the top. I base this on the idea is that nobody brews or boils 11 gallons. Unless we want to assume that somebody wants to be the Spinal Tap of the brewing/boiling world...

Clearly I am stupid today. Its an 11 gallon pot. 5.5 gallons is exactly half the pot. Sorry about that. Gedvondur

Without a measurement of your pot, inside radius and height, its not possible to tell you where that mark is. I looked up your pot on the web, nobody gives dimensions for it. Otherwise you should be able to calculate that. To be honest, why don't you just do it the practical and easy way...

Heh, because we have more national championships than any other NFL team including the Chicago "Choke" Bears. :-) Heh, that being said, there is nothing better in this world than a Packer-Bears game. Gedvondur

Ya, you betcha. :) Next time your in the area, send me a PM, we can get a beer. :mug: Gedvondur

I appreciate all the support, and of course give a shout out to the Green Bay Packers! I have just recently heard of the Rackers brewing club in the area, I haven't had a chance to check it out, but I will soon. Thanks much to all of you for making me feel so welcome! Gedvondur

A quick search for "brewing forums" yielded this site..... Gedvondur

I'm in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I've just started brewing with a friend of mine ScottyG. We have a nice drinkable English Nut Brown and an American Cream Ale bottle aging. Just put down a Strawberry Mead in the primary, we will have to see how that goes! I heard that this is the place...
