I pitch at 85 and then stick it in my fridge to take it down to ferment temp. By morning it's doing it's thing and I haven't tasted anything funky because of it.

I do the same but at 80º Pitch then into the chamber and by morning it's at temp bubbling away.
 
Confession:

Every time someone talks about electric brewing systems my eyes gloss over and I stop paying attention. I feel as though electric brewers just like to throw out even more words on top of the already large brewing lingo. I firmly believe that some of them are just making up words on the fly.

My stove is electric (IE: not gas) does that count as Electric Brewing?

Excuse me, are you saying "meow?"

Do I look like a cat to you boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE?

Confession: I like quoting lines from popular movies and get excited when people catch on... maybe more excited than I should.

Is that from Dumb and Dumber?

Nailed it!

Oh, wow. Sorry, invictus, but it's actually from Super Troopers. And it was your movie reference! Have a cold one to soothe your shame. :)

I was under the assumption that he was making a joke about my "confession" line :cross:
If he wasn't then I surely do feel shame, but not for thinking that line was from the wrong movie. ;)

I was making the joke based on the "confession" line. Obviously the 'meow' is from When Harry Met Sally :p
 
When I started this thread I confessed that I never used blow off tubes. Today I confess that I have a mess in my fermentation chamber.


This amused me, sorry to hear about the mess.

If it makes you feel any better, I recently had a batch blow the bung out and spew krausen and I WAS using a blowoff tube

P.S. They don't work if they're clogged
 
I whipped up a coopers canned cerveza last night, spent the most time sanitizing, rest was 10min quick pour, airate and pitch. Didn't even take a hydrometer reading. Meh

I mean, you can just buy beer at the store...

Since I live in igloolik, I have to brew with canned LME.
This is pretty much how every brew session goes, now.
 
When chilling my wort in a 15 gallon kettle, I fill a cooler with water and ice and pump that through my wort chiller with a pond pump... Boiling to 70deg in about 15 minutes!!
 
I just did a pumpkin stout mashing 8.75 lb of pumpkin puree. Sparging was so much of a horror story that I gave up, topped the wort off with water and added DME to reach desired gravity.
 
Instead of sending back the credit card applications, order forms, etc that you're supposed to send in these, I send other stuff. Funny pictures. Random small objects. Cryptic messages. Copies of my anarchocommunist manifesto. Pages from my screenplay-in-progress starring TxBrew as a time-travelling wizard.

I do the same thing. If these companies can spend the money on marketing, I can flip that money to the post office to keep a guy employed (and to keep a guy employed who opens these things).

Complete waste of money, but I think it takes money from "the man" and keeps the small guys employed.
