ghetto brew setups?...

[Setesh]

BTW, I have a ghetto stand. It's made out of recycled pallet lumber. Cost me <10 to make it, and that was for the fasteners. I hate the recycled casters though, they have a mind of their own. They are perfectly happy to go in any direction, as long as it's not the one I'm asking for.

 

[Rivenin]

The stuff isn't so much ghetto, as the stand is... bedframes FTW!... i still need to paint... one day... it's been rusting apart for months...

I do split batches with two 4 gallon pots. So I avoid a burner, kettle, and I can still do full volume boils and brew in my kitchen. I also made a dual worth chiller with 20' of 3/8" tubing and split the watet source with a T .

all of these 'ghetto' setups are still way nicer than mine

Just some brewery updates. I got a 2' x 4' folding table at Walmart for $29.78,10 bucks cheaper than Home Depot. I finally got my bottling table. It should save a lot of set up & tear down time.

Ok. I'm going to post something actually ghetto. Arm + fence = gravity!

Hey man I see all the leinenkugels bottles. Any chance you are near Rockford il?

 

[reeberom]

Boxes I should say.

 

[unionrdr]

No,I'm in NE Ohio. I just save the Leinenkugel boxes because they have separators in them. They also have multi-layer top flaps with tabs on'em to keep them closed. Those are the empties. At this point,I have just enough of those empties left to bottle the dampfbier when it's ready.

 

[reeberom]

Nice. I have an all cascade IPA ready to bottle.

 

[unionrdr]

I gotta do a first FG test on the dampfbier,3 weeks today. Spent father's day yesterday finishing the editing/proofreading on my book & worked on the acknowledgements page. Kindle Fire doesn't do footnotes or headers. Had to do it another way.

A book on homebrewing I assume? I have been doing some research and am considering opening a homebrew supply store. I am a veteran so I can definitely use a VA small business loan and have roughly 20k startup capital. I haven't been brewing that long, roughly a year but this would be an excellent way to expand and learn.

It's a sci-fi story about FEMA camps & the NWO making George Orwell's nightmare world come to pass. But some 70 years later. I'll try my first upload to Kindle Fire on Amazon in a while. Gotta take my son to work first. Anyway,the main character was a home brewer till the sudden,strange changes came to pass.

 

[reeberom]

That sounds awesome. I'm a huge fan of 1984. Let me know what it's called, I'd like to check it out.

 

[unionrdr]

The link to my amazon Kindle Fire page for the book is in my sig... He winds up running a small brewery for the NWO types.

Pro tip: Sell more books by NOT giving away the end.

 

[unionrdr]

Hint; That's not the end...but only the beginning...

 

[reeberom]

So awesome how people know it all..... Just saying...

Oh I was kidding. Hence the wink. Just sayin'. Next time quote me if you want to "address" me.

OK, that's just cool!

No problems doing that. None whatsoever. Just saying... Seems to be some tough internet guys. Guess it doesn't matter where you go.

Pro tip: a wink doesn't explain anything to me.

Yes it is tough to appreciate a facial expression on the HBT, someday soon we hope it will be easier to realize someone is merely posting in jest, and NOT being a prick.

Life was so much easier years ago, wink.

Does said brewer have a vericose ulcer?

It is my opinion that nothing will bring you back down off this ledge of dismay over a comment. I've clearly explained the tone behind my text and you continue to want to push it as though I share in your passive aggressive method of making remarks. I'm not sure your end game here but you need to relax and perhaps have a few home brews. If it helps then I outwardly and sincerely (I am identifying tone here too) apologize to the poster for anything said in jest, that could have been taken another way, when he mentioned a part of his book that appeared to be the ending. Unlike you, reeberom, I have had previous interaction with the poster and I would believe he would have been able to note any humor in that. If he did not then he has not taken issue with me, to my knowledge (as I write that sincerely again to identify tone); however, you seem to and it seems to really bug you. If I could point you to a method of ignoring a member (me) then I would. It may actually calm you down a bit. I can't apologize to you as I have caused you no harm and you are not damaged. I can say that there's really no need to waste your time on pushing because it won't make much difference, as you can see.

I'm a big fan, in a most sarcastic way, of a vendor egging on members who have been his bread and butter for some time. I'll skip the emoticon since I identified the ton of my text and there is absolutely no mistaking how I want it to be read. In truth, if I wanted to be prick I would absolutely be very direct and not passive aggressive as I am adult who happens to find value in being as direct as possible. Who knew one comment would set two presumably grown men off so much.

I was way over it.

On another note, how do you get the avatar? Also can you choose your own or is there a set you choose from?
