Best Trades ever?

[brianj434]

So I was cleaning my apartment, getting it ready for a new roommate and decided to get rid of a stockpile of old bike parts. While perusing craigslist and free cycle for a new large pot for all grain I found someone who needed some handlebars. I emailed her and said i had some and while I was at it she could have some old brake levers and grips too.

A day before she came to pick them up I figured "aw what the hell" and called her to see if she had a large stock pot taking up room that she didnt want... She said yes. She had a 7 gallon pot she never used and that I could have. Straight trade, a stainless steel 7 gallon for some >10 year old bike parts.

So I know 7 gallons might be pushing it for 5 gallon all grain batches, does anyone have experience with that anti foaming agent for preventing boil overs?

Lets here about some other great trades

On anti-foaming agents: FermcapS is some wonderful stuff. I have a 7.5 gallon pot and I can do very large boils (7 gallons) with minimal issues.

that what i wanted to hear. How does it work? Any effect on taste or head?

 

[caphector]

Not that I've noticed. I've got a 60/- on tap now that gets a lovely head. No pics of it handy, I'm afraid.

From what I understand it drops out after the boil is over and is left behind when you rack off hot break/trub.

Best trade I ever made was I gave a girl a ring and she gave me monkey lovin and a son. Twice.

You only got the monkey lovin' twice? You need to work on your trades…

She's still owes me for the fookin ring!

I'm pretty sure you can get the monkey lovin and kids without a ring. At least, according to Jerry Springer you can.

I much prefer they wail like monkeys. Not look like them.
