Ever heard of Black Oak Arkansas?

[Rocksmoker]

Been a extract brewer and wine maker since I was 18... turning 37 tomorrow and for my birthday I'm giving myself the gift of a 10 gallon all grain system...converting two half barrel kegs into HLT and brew kettle, starting with a cooler for MLT...following the lead of our good friend, Mr. Palmer.

Most recipes I see are geared toward 5 gallon batches... Since my first will be a 10 gallon, I'm sure my luck won't allow it to be as easy as simply multiplying by two... I'll check out the "first all grain" forums, But if anyone can throw a heads up my way, I'll drink a cold one in your honor.

Well, most of the information that got me started was form palmer's site howtobrew.com.

I don't know if you've found that site yet.

Thanks for the reply, and yes I've seen "How to brew"... Mr. Palmer is an asset to the community... Deserves praise for his efforts to educate the masses.

True to my word, sipping on a glass of homemade Honey Brown...here's to ya "amigo".

I probably did. Some of my friends were into them to a degree. That was how I learned that Arkansas was not pronounced the same as "Are Kansas"

I remember being in Germany in the later '70s. I went to 5 concerts (one each weekend)...some of them at the Olympic Stadium in Munich...ELO, Queen, Aerosmith (Zirkus Krone in Munich), Pink FLoyd, Peter Frampton (Comes Alive Tour), and Black Sabbath with AC/DC (Nurnberg)...I was broke for a while...
