username: cabot Rock on HBT! Thanks for the years of information and keeping my taps full!

Absolutely not. Gelatin is not magic and makes haze disappear...it helps the stuff fall out of suspension, and collect at the bottom of your keg (carboy, bucket, whatever). So if you put the gelatin in, gave it proper time to clear your beer, and then carefully rack the beer off into another...

I may be wrong, but I think I recall reading other posts where it was said that your yeasties will actually happily gobble up starsan

Thanks, I'm totally psyched for it. And now we wait for in four to five weeks we feast!

Took an OG before I pitched my yeast (of all 16 gallons mixed together), 1.044...was shooting for 1.040. I'd like to think this meant my efficiency was better than I had planned, but I didn't check at the time *sigh*. Either way, considering the process, I'm happy with it. Pitched my big...

Springer, that's cool man. The Stripers gonna be running soon down there? ajwillys I get what you're saying now. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

ajwillys, you're right, I don't think there is any difference other than IMHO convenience. I only have to monitor one boil, add hops to one boil, etc. It seems like it'd be less of a headache to me. I am thinking that no matter which of the above suggestions I use, they will all end up fairly...

Have any of you put this beer on nitro before? I just kicked my stout, and will be brewing this beer en masse as a pre-run for a big party im having this summer. I wanna put one on normal co2 tap, and another 5 gal on the nitrogen with a stout faucet. Im thinking it'll be pretty tasty. So, has...

Thanks for the info folks. I feel pretty good about trying it out. I'll report back when its all said and done. Gonna put 5 gallons on normal co2, 5 gallons on nitrogen, and gonna try to fruit 5 gallons with blueberries

I think that would be the same thing? The scaled recipe I am ok with, I just scaled it in beersmith so I know that's right. My question is that, assuming I scale the recipe correctly, is adding the 5 gallons of boiled and cooled water at the end going to cause any trouble. Again, beersmith did...

So I have a big party coming up and I want to brew 15 gal of beer to fill a sankey keg with. I've decided on brewing Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, as it will be a big crowd pleaser. I have equipment to brew 10 gal batches...my thought is this: I put the 5 gal recipe into Beersmith, and...

mmmm bigass cascade IPA *drool*

Indeed Babalu. See above. I'm not going to be buying these, I just don't have the time. I was simply putting the info out there, hoping some forum members could take advantage.

You are absolutely right about it being crazily time consuming to split it all up. Sadly, I do not have the time to do it. I was just putting the info out there, hoping someone would be able to take advantage. I wish I could handle it all, lord knows you folks have given me enough over the...

Found this seller on Ebay. Got a veritable sh*tload of cascade hops donated by a local grower as a fundraiser for his homebrewing group. 200lb bales for $595, and says he'll pelletize them for $0.50 per pound. With the spring/summer quickly approaching, and me with Edwort's Haus Pale on the...

It's always awesome to see what crafty things HBT'ers have come up with. Here's my little slice of "this is why every other project in my house hasn't been finished yet" and (faucets have been upgraded to perlicks now) Other side and finally, the fridge box

gtpro, I see you're in Orono. Going to school at UMO? I graduated from there in 2004, live in Wilton now. Glad to see another Mainer on the board! Sadly, I am too busy to make it down to Portsmouth as well, I'd love to try that out. I really love, and have been searching for, a clone of their...

cyberpacker, you are the man. That is exactly what us with guinness faucets was looking for. Cheers!

I've got one as well, just got it actually. The handle is definitely different. I see the other (non guinness branded) stout faucets have an extra piece at the top which allows for a normal screw on handle. I am thinking that if we could get ahold of whatever that piece is called (anybody?) we...
