Was this the guy with the 5 dollar cornies? I saw that and didn't even bother emailing him. I figured they were already gone with that price. Someone got a smoking deal.:mug:

She had a very tasty pizza, and my pork belly was amazing!
I picked up a bomber last week and wasn't terribly impressed. It was okay, but nothing amazing. I don't think I am curious enough to spend another 12 bucks to cellar it for a year or so....
After I finished it all I could think was that 12 bucks could have bought a six pack of mirror pond and a...
Yup, one of the LHBS usually has a few expired vials of white labs for 1/2 price. I have used more than a few and never had an issue. Just make a starter a few days earlier than you normally would to allow some extra time for lag.
Yup, you would think that Gambrinus would be popular in the NW since they are pretty local. I can pick up a sack at Larry's down in Kent for $40-45 I think. I guess they are just not as well known as Breiss or the other big names...
Did you get the Gambrinus ESB pale malt or just the regular pale malt? The ESB malt is a british style of 2row, similar to MO.

Giggity:D......looks amazing. I can't wait to pick it up and see it in person.
In regards to how he pulls the coupler through...I am curious too. Some sort of jig or puller perhaps?
Long story not so short...., I finally got around to converting a 1/2 barrel sanke to a HLT for my burgeoning brewery.
I went to harbor freight and picked up cheap angle grinder that was on sale for 9.95 to cut the top off. I tried to create one of the various jigs I have seen on HBT but alas...
I like White Labs because their packaging is much easier to store (I have a rack in my kegerator to store it).
I can reuse the vials for washed yeast.
Yeast viability is not much an issue for me since I always make starters.
Also, one of the local brew stores usually has some discounted...
Well, tonight at dinner after a few beers at the Rogue Brewhouse....... I ordered a 1/2 barrel of Rogue Younger's Special Bitter. The waitress brought it to the table on a dolly and a few of the other customers cheered for us.
By the time I got home, I realized...damn this probably wont fit...
