That's like Godzilla of kettles there the way that pic was taken. I like it! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Oh shoot. I wasn't very clear. When I switched to star San, I noticed it makes slime when sitting long term. One step never did that for me. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Here a brief article on one step. http://www.ecologiccleansers.com/one-step.php In short, one step is marketed as a no rinse cleaner and sanitizer, but labeled as a cleaner to avoid the regulations needed to comply with this designations as set forth by the EPA. I mistakenly said FDA in my...

What's your line of work if you don't mind me asking? Your reasoning is very scientific. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That's really funny. I have a 2.5 year old daughter. I already have locks on my kegerator. I feel sorry for her future boyfriends. Wait....no I don't. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Cleaning up from the brew. Found a new brewing buddy. Well, almost stepped on it due to the camo. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This has been some good info with some sound scientific reasoning. Thank you all. As such, I will change my practice pattern. Interestingly enough, for my Oktoberfest I decided to not rinse the fermenter filling it up today. I shall rest more easy thanks to these points. Sent from my...

I'm thinking an s. Diastaticus infection. A wild yeast that will ferment most other non-fermentables and render a beer nearly colorless and flavorless. I've only read about it and have not experienced it first hand. Anyone else have any thoughts or have experienced this 1st hand? Sent...

If this is a go, I'm in! Definitely not the one to organize it, but an earnest participator, yes!! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
