That is awesome! We live in the future! Nice work! (or tell your friend nice work.. :) )

Tons of options! Gelatin is an easy one. De-gas, add gelatin, chill, rack to new keg, Shazam! You're good to go. You may not even need that. Try chilling to 30ish. My guess is a lot of that settles out.

I say do it. Hop profile might change slightly depending on the beer, but other than that I don't see a downside (even that change in hop profile might be a pro). There are brew days I like to take the long complicated way (today was a 11 hours marathon) but most brew days I like to keep it...

Same here. However, had a pepper cider and wasn't against it... Give it a crack! Maybe not on your a 5 gallon batch, but buy one in a store. Haven't made my own with peppers yet though. Might have to give it a try!

Beersmith always asks for an assistant brewer. I put in my dog. Not sure if you'd count that as solitary or not!

Flipped from the original to BS 3.0 about a month ago. Not sure I needed anything that was added in the last decade, but figured I used that sucker so much that I might as well pay the guy that made it! So far I like it. A little cleaner than the original.

If you know the gravity of your beer you can do the math from here to get more precise if you really want. OG of 1.1 is 10% more dense than water. FG of 1.015 is 1.5% more dense. So for finished beer 42ish pounds of beer and up to 46 if you just started fermenting. I just weighted an empty...

I am in the same spot. Been brewing for 9 years. I have spent maybe $750 on equipment and in my eyes have some pretty good stuff! Without a doubt I have saved money brewing... As someone posted earlier, it is like eating out vs. going to a restaurant. Depending on how well you cook you can...

I don't see why a window tint wouldn't work...

Have 9 currently, picked them up 7 year or so ago for like $12 each. Looked to buy a few more and man have prices increased!

I agree, still use it as a bucket. I just may not ferment in it.

That thing is awesome. Completely unnecessary but awesome.

This is great! I have always bought grain premilled and never had the space to crush my own grains. We just bought a new place so I might be stealing your work shortly!

True story.... I was golfing this summer and in the pro-shop they had this weird thing that looked like a selfie stick. I told my friend I was golfing with that it clearly wouldn't fit any phone. Yes. I was made fun of.:drunk:

Hmm, I wonder how that would work. Listerine prices keep going up... Maybe the Sanstar people have another market!

Went to the North American International Auto show and checked out the new Ford GT... Pretty sweet ride.

I would get all of the books that people have mentioned so far. I book will cost you about as much as a batch of beer yet you gain much more knowledge and it will last a lot longer. Designing great beers Brewing classic styles New Brewing Lager beer Tasting beer Complete Joy of home Brewing...

Extensive research has proven that people from South East Michigan are the best brewers out there, so I am sure you'll great success.

This is the way to go. I am very frugal by nature and just slowly building up is not only a good way to go, but fun in the process as well. Even if they money is there in the bank, it is interesting to find the smartest way to do things. That being said, temp control is the way to go. Hands...

How many oz. are you dry hopping with? 1-2 you may not get much at all. Of course it will also depend on style etc... You're not going to get much grassy notes from you IIPA with a pound of Centential you just brewed..:mug:
