    small 110V LED source

    You might want to search Allied Electronics, Grainger or Digikey for "circuit board indicators" that match your description. I cannot see where you would need a 110 volt LED in your assembly, but I am not an engineer. You might want to elaborate more on your planned usage of the LED.

    I added heavy cream to my wort!

    I drank beer with a straw once while waiting for a dentist office to open on Monday after a mosh pit incident... I have also never, ever been more excited about someone else's beer. If you are bottling and want to ship a few to Florida I promise to share it with a beer judge.

    Dry vs Wet Lag time

    I live in Florida, my water comes out of the tap at 70+... It makes sense if you think about it though. Yeast is to be rehydrated at 90, then you pitch in to wort a little cooler and then the temp slowly drops in the ferm chamber. Gradual temp adjustment equals no stress for the yeast.

    Dry vs Wet Lag time

    I have never used liquid, but I just finished a Hefeweizen and have solid activity in four hours. I rehydrate in 90 F water, shake the hell out of the carboy to oxygenate and pitch at high 80 F. Pop the carboy in the fridge/ferm chamber and let it go for a week. I typically use 04 or Nottingham...

    Gin Beer Recipe Help

    I was also just thinking of doing a gin beer. I just finished an "Egyptian" beer for the museum where I made a 60% barley, 35% red wheat and 5% acidulated malt beer flavored with corriander, juniper, chamomile and bay. I tasted this lovely concoction and instantly thought of a gin beer. I was...

    Does cleaning ever get you burned out on brewing?

    Clean as you go for sure. I cannot brew indoors because of space constraints, so I can feel your small kitchen pain. Oxyclean is a life saver too. 1TB/gallon will make short work of anything.

    I was scolded at LHBS today when I told em I don't usually use a secondary

    If you like your beer then his opinion does not matter. If you like what you are doing then you are doing it well!

    Ruthless Rye

    I strongly remember Terrapin, one was named Hoppin Rye or some such and a few others are lost in the fog. I don't claim to be a rye beer expert, so maybe I should have clarified that in my post. The rye beers that I have tried have a flavor note that reminds me of RAW rye flour, which is not...

    St Patty's Day Black and Tan No Flavor...

    Used a homebrew ESB and Guiness Special Export and it tastes like the water at the bottom of a spent cherry coke...

    Beer Voyeurism

    Here I was thinking this was about brewing nude... I totally peek though. I got my two and a half year old daughter into it too.

    First All Grain, First Competition, First Silver

    It was just about two months old. I was worried it might have been off-peak, but maybe they got they best of it!

    First All Grain, First Competition, First Silver

    Entered my first AG beer in the Best Florida Beer Championship and took silver in the English Ale category. I did a riff on KingBrianI's Common Room ESB. I am pretty damned stoked. I wanted to shout for joy from the top of a mountain, but I didn't have a mountain, I had a newsroom... I mean HBT.

    Best Movie Ever Made

    Truly one of the more underrated and under marketed movies ever. I thought this movie was awesome. Though, like someone said of Office Space, it hits far too close to home. Especially in my office!!! Big Lebowski rocks too!

    Best Movie Ever Made

    Hell yeah you dare mention. Hands down Citizen Kane has my vote for best movie of all time. This movie harkens back to when movies were about acting and the portrayal of emotion. A close second for me is M by Fritz Lang. Peter Lorre's emotional appealmat the end is just mindblowing. Another...

    New Florida brewer

    Welcome to the forum. I have been learning from these folks for the past year and it is an invaluable tool. Florida can be a little rough to brew in you will constantly battle heat. That first sip of you own brew will make it all worthwhile.
