Can I use a bong for a starter? :D

[eschatz]

Anyone ever use a waterbong as a starter vessel? Srsly, you could hook your diffusion stone right up to the bowl.... I'm just saying it could work. :fro:

Dude, I'm high right now and that still sounds like a bad idea....

I don't think you should use the same one you smoke out of.

 

[blackwaterbrewer]

hahaha I am using one almost identical to this right now, lol!! :rockin:

 

[blackwaterbrewer]

by the way, that is a sweet looking bong.

 

[gruversm]

Bass player?? Heck...sounds like a dang Tuba player.

I quit 2 years ago, and have no regrets, way more money in my pocket to brew beer with.... 1/4oz a month costs as much as making 4 batches of homebrew..... (I smoked quality pot, like the beer i drink)

 

[eschatz]

you guys are all missing the point. pure O2 in a starter. nobody has talked me down yet.

.........as a tuba player i resemble that re..ummmm.. I mean I resent that remark.

 

[scinerd3000]

i can't see why that wouldnt work however for the price of a bong and a diffusion downstem minus the bowl piece your still going to spend way more than on a large flask. Then again you can still use it for its intended purpose afterwords....i dont see why not. If you try to suck in though your going to take a hit of pure co2 which wouldnt be fun. SOmeone should try this and take pictures.

Oh- how would you plan to filter the pure o2 as not to contaminate the starter during aeration? You could always soak a sponge in starsan and shove it down the downstem....seems like a PIA. Ive obviously given this too much thought already

drugs are bad, mmmkay

 

[Wade E]

Hook that bong up when fermentation is going good and youll have a power hitter!

 

[tidehouse]

I'm finding a lot more money in my pocket now that I don't smoke regularly. More money for good beer.

 

[chumprock]

How do you get a bass player to leave your front door?



Pay for the pizza.

 

[Revvy]

I just had to prost this thread based on sheer hilarity alone..not because I advocate drugk use or anything...

Actually I quit that in my late twenties after smoking some laced crap, and puking on half of the Motown session musicians I was with (they weren't called the "funk brothers" for nothing.)

It took me a couple of years before they let me live it down......

A wise man once said:

What was the problem with just smoking a joint, eating a couple of Twinkies, and going to sleep? Was that a problem? They say marijuana leads to other drugs. No it doesn't, it leads to f***ing carpentry. That's the problem, folks. People getting high going, "Wow man, this box would make an excellent bong! *snort* This guy's head would make an excellent bong! *snort*" Relax! That's why I stopped doing drugs in the first place. Not because I didn't like 'em, but because I didn't want to build anything, ok?

 

[eschatz]

too many haters. i'm like the macgyver of starters!

[beerthirty]

You've never had hash under glass? You have never lived, or maybe vegetated.

 

[wilserbrewer]

Excellent point Beerthirty! Cheers to those who say it can't be done.

A bong is essential to making a good starter. The preferred method is to dissolve 200 grams of DME in one liter of water. Use a saucepan for this step. When the DME is completely dissolved, pour into a two liter flask or something similar other than the bong. Add some Foam Control to the flask to reduce the boilover potential. Use a lot of it too! Now, load the bong and hit it at least three times within about the time it takes to bring the wort to a boil in the flask. Continue boiling for 10-15 minutes. Cool the flask in a pan of water or a sink. Be careful not to float the flask or it can tip over. Once cooled to below 80 F, you can pitch the yeast. Cool it to the lower fermentation temp if using lager yeast. Clean up the stove top before the boiled over wort dries to an epoxy like condition where it is near impossible to remove without using oven cleaner or something similar. This must be done before SHE returns home! Otherwise, there will be hell to pay.

Somewhat off topic... Roor makes some pretty nice stuff but they're way too expensive. A good friend of mine is a glassblower, made me a really nice piece with the ground slide fittings and everything for about 1/4 the price.

if only we all knew a glassblower. See if he will blow you a carboy. When i went to stone brewing in san diego they had blown glass tap handels which were pretty sweet looking...
