Can I use a bong for a starter? :D

[c.n.budz]

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...

Already asked about a carboy, no go. Glass tap handles, on the other hand, are on their way when he has some free time. To get my "friend discount" I have to wait until he's not really busy.

Yeah, have him blow a couple of 6.5 gallon carboys for me too! I lived in San Diego very near the glassblower who I think made the tap handles for Stone. The glass shop was right behind his house and he would occasionally have an open house kind of thing demonstrating his skills and wares.

you know beer would probably move that along...bummer about the carboy though- that would have been sweet

He doesn't drink beer, so no help there....

 

[scinerd3000]

that is a travesty... you could try brain death barley wine. If he made you a bong he might be interested...

It's a health condition thing. Can't drink beer, but can still have hard liquor or wine.

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

you learn something every day. thank you

what you do is get a un drilled stopper, drill two holes side by side, one for the downstem and one for a hose ... stick the down stem in one hole extending down into the lower half of the flask. now stick the hose(1/8th in. would work best) into the other hole, ending up being flush with the end of the stopper inside the flask( so if you take a power rip it doesnt suck threw).. its not a bong but more of a bubbler at that point. once you smoke in it, I wouldnt ever use it for brewing again.


IMO. keep the beaker RooR for smokin , and the flasks for starters.

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)

Guess I am a lightweight. AN 1/8 last me a month to 6 weeks and only the kind for this pallete

Dunno about a starter, but I drank from one of these last night....

Kinda strange, yeah..

What was that filled with? I like it.

 

[Andri]

sheesh you crazy people these hobbies shouldn't go together

so what did you search to find this thread, BONG or STARTER?

Nice bong. I have a EHLE.
On a slightly more serious note - hops and cannabis belong to the same family - "someone" here needs to add some to their next brew.

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.

Ok, man. This sounds like a great idea and all, but there are way too many steps to remember. Especially when I'm high. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...peanut butter

Gee, we've never heard, nor have the mods ever locked any threads like THAT before.

Nor have I ever posted this sign before....(at least not this year, I believe.)

 

[eschatz]

It took way too long for this thread to get to that Revvy. I suspected shutdown within 20 posts...

LOL!!!

Well, I think most of us who posted in this thread have been on here long enough to have heard about "the cousins" and have seen the locks on those threads to actually go there.

Was this at humperdinks? I have conquered that tower of power many times. :rockin:

 

[HalfPint]

You could aerate your wort by just hitting the bong!!

 

[AugustDerleth]

by the way, that is a sweet looking bong.

It seems like a mason jar would work as well or better?

 

[RDWHAHB]

Is that what its is for, smoking?? I bought one just for starters. Shows you how naive I am.

 

[brewingkitty]

oooh! double glass-in-glass on there... nice!
