Well ive been troling the boards for little over a year now, and would just like to thank every body that makes this site happen. Don't have many posts under my belt but thats for good reason. When ever i have a question just type it in search and it usually comes up. Just now searched "how long...
Was just looking at all the events that are on my new 2009 calendar, and was thinking that it would be nice to have days telling me when I should start to make what ever beer so it would be ready for the right season. Im sure some one has thought of this before and was wondering where one would...
i type this sitting in good ole HD although i work in the tool rental(only part time while im in school). traditionally the loss prevention arent alowed to approach you. they cant even follow you once your outside of the store. the LP at my store generally calls the police if he has verified...

Chris Ferrara Mark Rushing my friend and i im the MR part
and like i said the grammatical errors are intentional the CF part cant for the life of him pronounce women so he always says "womens"
so heres the label for my beer the two little guys on it are supposed to be me and one of my friends. we aren't making a particular style but thought we would make a label any way. warnings and stuff are meant to be funny and there are misspellings and incorrect words in there just for the...
im currently looking to do the same setup and trying to figure out this part as well. only thing that i can think of so having the faucet on a stationary part of the bar, so the "lid" of the bar wouldn't actually move the faucet when your moving kegs/ cleaning
i was also thinking some...
ok thanks, i dont have any leaks that i know of. i pushed as hard as i can on the lid and i pushed the air lock in a little further so hopefully ill see some activity. and yes im using a bucket. i wanna try to get some of thoes better bottles im too curious.
im wondering if i didn't aerate my wort enough . i did a partial boil and since i used tap water i boiled tap water (didn't aerate) and then of course didn't aerate the wort. some karusen has formed but no air lock action almost 48 hours later. would it hurt to try and aerate it now?
my friend and I recorded our first brew so I figured some might like to watch, critique ,what have you. its currently on my website I dont know if too many downloads will kill it or not we will see.

ah yeah all right so i used 6lbs. light LME, 1/2lb 60l Crystal Malt (steeped) , 1/2lb Chocolate Malt (steeped), total 2 oz fuggle .5oz added at 60, 30, 15, 0. using WLP002 English ale yeast and this is for a 5 gal batch
so my first brew is in its second day in the fermenter and it has stopped bubbling. i searched and found out that it could be finished, but that i needed to take a FG reading several times to actually find out. the kit i bought from my LHBS specifies an original gravity of 1.047, (IBU's 23.6...
geez dont tell me about other things to buy... im broke enough as it is. My buddy and i were having delusions of grandeur while we were brewing the wort, dreaming of things that we want and hadent even tasted our first homebrew yet.
