I've been having similar issues from my first several batches and and wondering what I might be doing wrong. I have two questions: 1. I follow the instructions on my kit almost 100% ..as close as I can get. I never seem to hit the advertised OG ..normally I'm just a little off (my last batch...

The paddles are pretty good. You can do a lot of things with those. Not sure if it already has it, but maybe spray paint some of that chalk board paint on one side, and have an artistic person do something on the other (that makes a "2 in 1" handle). :mug:

What exactly are you looking for? You can take ALMOST anything, tap a hole into it, and make it a handle. If you're looking for blanks, try EBay, or sometimes Craigslist. I'd suggest finding out what the theme of the wedding is (maybe use one of their candle holders or something) and match...

yep ..Atari 2600 and the Vic-20 (I still have one in my garage ..should try to hook it up to the new TV and see if it works)

WoW ..now THAT is a gamer ...don't think I'd put those on MY bar, but ..it IS creative ...I love the OLD SCHOOL Nintendo and Play Station controls ...back when there wasn't a million different buttons

How about some sort of sticker ..with lacquer or some type of clear coat over it

I LOVE THAT IDEA :mug: you could also put almost any small lightweight item on a magnet, to customize it even more ...

That might be the "crappiest" (is that a real word) one on here yet!! No really ..that's pretty cool

so how would I fix that for next time? I did my mash at around 160 deg for 1 hour in 1.5 gal (per instructions) then sparged it with 3 quarts of 160 deg water ..added 1 more quart for a total of 2.5 for the hour long boil.

Target was 1.061 My measurement (taken right before adding the yeast at approx 80 deg F) was 1.051 maybe it's not that far off, I'm just wondering what that would do to the alcohol %. NOT that it matters too much, I'm more into taste then into getting drunk. Thanks

First let me say SORRY if this is a repeat question (I'm sure it probably is), but I couldn't find anything. I just completed my 2nd Partial Mash batch and both times my OG reading was about .05 away from what the instructions said they should be. Is this a MAJOR issue, and how can I fix that...

That I'd be leaving on a 2 1/2 month trip the day BEFORE I cooked up my last batch ..instead of the day AFTER

Nice ...

yea ..now i can tell my kids to "go get me some juice" and not sound like the worst dad in the world ...:ban:

not quite as cool as most of the others on here, but here's my first attempt at home made ... going to mount a putter head to go along with it for my second tap in the near future

I'm still pretty new to the brewing thing ...but I've been told by several people that distilled is BAD .. I've been told to use spring water ..or if you have good tap water, use that, but boil it first to remove the chlorine

I wish someone had told me You DON'T have to spend a million bucks on the fancy stuff. Plastic buckets work just as well (if not better) than the glass carboys.

Quick Question ...are the Brewers Best kits (like the one in the following link) What you're talking about in this tutorial? if not ..what are the main differences .. I've done a few (still pretty new to brewing) and have thrown in a few extras with pretty good results Big Honkin'...

Those handles look awesome ..home made? I'm kinda wood working challenged ..What kind of wood are they, and how did the pattern get on them?

the freezer stays at around 25 degrees ..and the fridge is at about 40 so far ..no frozen beer in the lines The inside "usable" dimensions are 24" wide x 24" deep x 31" tall I think it would fit 3 corny kegs + the CO2 tank pretty easy (plus a little room in the door and around the kegs for...
