    Look what I Found

    I was at the market turning in all my coins at the coinstar, and someone left this behind. They made me wait a week for someone to claim it but no one came, and they gave it to me. It's dirty as all hell from coins being thrown in it, but it will clean up nicely. Good piece for my shelf. Does...

    FML moments

    Have you ever had one of those moments where you want to scream FML for all to hear? You know, those moments where there's no going back? Let's hear it. I just realized that the temperature probe that I use for mashing reads 20F too high. I've been mashing at 129F for the last three...

    Citra hops too cheap?

    I just bought some Citra hops (pellet) on Amazon for $0.15/oz. Waaay too cheap. Should I be worried?

    5 liter keg cans

    I have a mini kegerator that takes 5 liter keg cans. Does anyone know if I can put my own beer into these? Also, aside from buying a filled one and drinking it, where can I get these cans for filling?

    Doh!

    Just pitched my Schneider Weisse clone and then this happened when I put the airlock on. Damn it! Now I'll be paranoid for the next couple weeks. As it happened I let out a Homer Simpson...Doh!!
