Still need to finish up the interior plumbing but the tower is on and I've got a keg in using a picnic tap. There are lots of great pictures of the process that helped tremendously so I didn't take any but I will show off the finished product..... :ban: :ban: Thanks to all the great tutorials...

I'm going to the RBC Center next week and was wondering if there is a good place close by to have a few beers? Thanks, Jimi

Yesterday after putting it off for a while I finally decided to make the jump to All-Grain. I used a Northern Brewer St Paul Porter kit. Everything went pretty smooth except for a few minor glitches which I was able to get some reasurances from the board on..... Also had my first keg of a wheat...

What spacing do you guys use on your Barley Crusher? I used mine for the first time yesterday and the factory setting (.039) really seemed to pulverize the grain. I opened it up but I'm really not sure what I was looking for. I've only done a few partial grain brews that I had milled at my local...

How critical is it to sanitize a smack pack? After about 4 hours of doing my first all grain brew I had the wort down to pitching temp and asked my dad to hand me the pack to sanitize...... He took it upon himself to cut it open. Ahhhhhhh!!!! What can I say? How much trouble will this give me...

I'm trying to add two secondary regulators to my primary regulator. The threads for my secondary regulators are right hand thread (RHT) but my primary out is left hand thread (LHT). Is there such an animal as a 1" X 1/4" MPT nipple that is RHT on one side and LHT on the other? I've seen primary...

Just got done filling my first keg.... Probably got carried away with cleaning and sanitation but wanted to make sure it was ready. Only thing I know I did wrong is forgot to purge the air before I shook it up some. Oh well this one will probably go pretty quick watching the Super Bowl next...

Can someone help me convert this to ProMash. I am very new to ProMash and I have entered it and want to compare the results from a professional to mine. I'm planning on using it for my first All-Grain brew next weekend. Thanks.... Jimi Port O' Palmer - Porter Malts 7.5 lbs. of 2 Row Base...

Well, after an 8 or so month hiatus due to life changes (separation, moving, etc.) I'm back brewing. Brewed an extract wheat beer yesterday and while the boil was going I put together a batch of EdWort's Apfelwein. Happy to say the wheat is bubbling away this morning and I'm just waiting for...

I ordered a Barley Crusher yesterday. I'm one step closer to AG. Now it's mainly just find a good first recipe and the time to brew it. Can't wait :ban:

Very creative .... http://www.fugly.com/view_searching.php?viewkey=4636cb40b84b803b2fff

Ran across this site... Pretty good prices. Better than I have seen elsewhere. I just ordered two. I'll let you know when they arrive. http://www.greatbargain.net/order/shop.html

I just sampled my Port O'Palmer Porter and I must say I am pretty pleased. It's been bottle conditioning for four weeks and could probably benefit from a couple more but I'll take it just the way it is... It's my sixth brew and first porter so I'm pretty pumped. I've got to run a half marathon...

Well, I didn't lose it but the person I had borrowed it from decided to fry a turkey for Thanksgiving. First time in 3 years ... Anyway, I'm going to buy one and was thinking about the $37 one at Walmart. I know several of you have purchased these so I was wondering how well they work? Do you...

I purchased one of these and am going to use it tonight to sanitize bottles. Any of you guys that are using it, how do you us it? Do you do a few bottles then put them on a bottling rack until you fill or do you do all the bottles, then begin filling? Or just one at a time? Just trying to figure...

Just finished washing 3 cases of bottles ... Can't wait till I get everything for kegging.:ban: I did purchase a jet washer/rinser and that was money well spent. Saves a ton of time rinsing. One more case to wash tomorrow then it's bottling on Saturday and again on Sunday....

Just received the Immersion Chiller I ordered from Mt. Washington Homebrew Supply. Ran across them while surfing the net. They must have some old stock on copper because I got a 50' chiller for $29.95. Plus they give you a $10 discount for the first order. Total delivered was $31 and some change...

I'm getting ready to bottle my first porter after 10 days in the primary and 2 weeks in the secondary. Does a porter need longer to bottle condition? I ususally wait 3 weeks before I even think about trying one. I think I have read somewhere that porters need longer ....
