I wouldn't consider it normal. If there are weevils in a newly bought bag I would return it. Grain should be stored in a plastic or metal bin where the adult weevils can't get to it. The eggs are laid inside the kernel and the larvae feed and develop in the kernel, so I would think if the...

An STC-1000 in a waterproof case. Should work at a thermometer, I would check it against a known correct thermometer to make sure the readings are accurate.

Definitely an IPA. But I would bitter with something smoother like Magnum and save the Chinook for the last ten minutes for a big, resiny, piney taste. And dry hop with Cascades.

My Sterlings look the same way. They must be more susceptible to leaf diseases than other varieties. If it were insects or leaf miners I would think the rest would have the same problems. My Cascade, Chinook, Columbus and Willamette are all planted in the same place and don't have the same issue.

I really like the Wisconsinite from Lakefront, their Fixed Gear is pretty good too. Any of the thumbprint series from New Glarus is good, and I like their fruit beers. Not as sour as a true lambic but good nonetheless. It is probably all gone but if you should happen upon a 4-pack of their...

Not sure what species, but I think it is the yellow spiny hop eating caterpillar. I knocked it to the ground and squashed it.

I probably should have posted this when I first started reading this thread but I'm a procrastinator.

When I use my 1 liter flip tops I prime normally. I will fill a few of them and the rest goes into 12 oz. bottles. Never had a problem.

When you work third shift a morning beer is a necessity.

There are usually three tabs on a pot. Are you sure you are connected to the correct two?

You keep checking Amazon Prime to see if they have started selling 50 lb bags of malt.

Give blood on a regular basis and that will take care of the excess iron.

If you make one out of parachute cord I would think it should wear well.

The lids will seal well if there aren't any chips in the rim of the jars. I have used them for beer and didn't have a problem as long as the lids were tight. Although the wide mouth jars don't work as well if you are carbonating.

You don't really need a vacuum. Bottles don't have one. Just sanitize everything and screw the caps on tight and you should be good to go.

I like your choice of Marris Otter. You should check out EdWort's Rye IPA recipe in the Recipe forum. It is a great beer and may give you some ideas. I usually bitter with Magnum and save the Chinook for late additions. Dry hop with Cascade. Nice and spicy with a nice piney aroma and taste and a...

All I can say is you are either single or have a very understanding wife.

if you go to the recipe section of the site there are quite a few wheat recipes listed under Wheat and Rye beers.

My wife bought me the Spiegelau Stout and IPA glasses for Christmas. I haven't used them yet but it sounds like a taste test is in order.

I don't really despise any beer. I'm sure there are a lot of good beers out there, I just have a problem finding them. With all the choices of "craft" beer out there it seems that there are a lot of beers that are just common, with nothing to make them stand out. I very seldom try a new beer...
