Did anybody pay attention to the Used Equipment link at Applied Bottling and see the 25bbl Production Brewery for sale...$130,000 http://www.applied-bottling.com/used_equipment/DR_Brewery.html nice...

Not to sound like an @$$ or anything, but with all the money spent on ice, bottles, water, etc for every batch you do it seems worth it to invest in an IC. I found a 25' roll of 3/8 copper at Home Depot and all the connections for about $35-40 and about 30 minutes of my time. I cool down 5...

thats about what I was thinking...probably more trouble than traditional methods. Thanks for the input.

I have a friend in the Jewelry repair business. As you may know they use these steam cleaners for rings, watches, and such. He commented that I should use one of those while brewing to sanitize things such as hydrometer, mixing spoon, thief and even the bottles. Even mentioned that he had...

we? this really is sounding like a letter to Penthouse...

Last week I brewed a Genesee Cream Ale clone from extract. Some of you might remember I was concerned because my hops came out of the bag. Ingredients: 4 lbs Muntons Light LME 2 lbs 6-Row American Pale Malt 2 lbs Flaked Maize 0.5 oz. Cluster hops (Bittering) 1 oz. Cluster hops...

I just ran across a local store with a good pick 6 selection and picked up a few things: Left Hand BlackJack Porter Big Sky Trout Slayer Ale Pyramid IPA Flying Dog In Heat Wheat Pranqster Golden Ale and a Guinness for a buddy at work. I have had the Pyramid (and I think the Flying Dog...

this is good info...thanks guys. The few things I had read said to make certain to use a bag for the hops, which left me a little worried. I appreciate the input!

Thanks...everyone says that it is hard to screwup and make a bad beer. I am begining to think that I am up to the challenge!

OK, so several of you read about and commented on my first screw-up of leaving the primary on the clothes dryer and my wife starting a load of laundry. Seems that was not a MAJOR mistake. How about this one... Second batch tonight. A Cream Ale. Everything seemed to be cooking right...

That's what I love about this forum...the more expereinced members are always willing to help out us newbies...:mug:

We got one for the kiddos for Christmas...we all play it and have a blast. My high bowling is 213. Funny story, we took the 4 and 6 yo bowling last week on New Years. They had been Wii bowling for about a week and were very disappointed that they did not get several strikes and spares and...

Broozer - I suppose you would be willing to take the batch off my hands so I don't have to clean up the mess. Thanks for easing my concerns everyone. I actually just came from the house and took a gravity reading. It was 1.013...target is .010 - .012 so that made me feel a little better...

OK, noob here. First batch brewed this past Saturday. Brewers Best English Brown. Everything went great and I had bubbles in the air lock by late Sunday. Fermentation was going along great Monday and Tuesday. Then the screwup. We had a really nice weekend so I had left the Primary in...

thanks...i assumed I would be OK until the weekend

Noob questions here... So I planned on brewing last night and when ahead and activated my smack pack. Life happened and I was not able to brew. How long after activating a smack pack do you have to use it? BTW...I have kept it refrigerated.

call the guys at High Gravity in Tulsa. They are working on a recipe right now. highgravitybrew.com

Yeah, I suppose a closet is the way to go. For the heating, what does everyone recommend? I have seen talk of a light bulb, heat lamp, space heater, heating pad, belt, etc. Will they all work as well as anything else or are their ideal solutions?
