What are you drinking now?

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Oolong. Getting ready for a run to somewhat offset day of debauchery in Asheville. Going to a concert tonight and have at least three breweries and a bottle shop with ten taps on the schedule before that. Forecast is 100% chance of drunk with a 40% chance of bourbon induced idiocy. Tomorrow's forecast is 80% chance of hangover.

Hopefully your night of debauchery is as good as mine was! Having a 6oz glass of Mad Hatter to take the edge off

Bucket dregs to start the day. My wife knew it was dry hopped with Nelson from smelling it.

Awesome!

For anyone who doesn't have bottling bucket set up this way, this is still the single most useful thing I've learned from HBT. View attachment 161556

Is there something attached to your dip tube? I'm using a CPVC elbow that screws onto the inside of the spigot instead of a plug and dip tube, but if that has a filter of some sort attached that may be an even better option.

I love my BB drilled #2 stopper and cut down racking cane myself!

Water on break... Looking at these new style carboys.... Anyone have one or know the dimensions? Im hoping i could get by with one to avoid putting a collar on my chest freezer fermentation chamber

Double pour of my Milk Stout.

It's been asked on their Facebook page but no answer as of yet.

I have been thinking about this idea since I started brewing, only plastic but that looks awesome! This will probably eliminate glass carboys now

Threaded lid and a plugged airlock = 6.5 gallon glass beer bomb!


Dimensions on a 6.5 standard glass carboy are roughly 20.5 inches tall. 12.5 inches wide.

These wide mouths are 12 3/8" wide and 17 5/8" tall.

seem to be pretty close width wise, and a advantage Height wise as you don't have a tapered neck to contend with.

I saw these the other day and I was curious too. Although I'm not worried about the height factor, just the easy-to-clean factor.

 

[FermentNEthinG]

I would love to make some serious amounts of pickles or Kraut in one of those. Hell even Kimchi!

You don't have crocks in NY?

 

[Qhrumphf]

It ain't Kimchi unless you bury it

Although if I brought Kimchi or Bibimbab into this house my wife might kill me. Last time we ate Korean she couldn't eat for a week afterwards.

Awesome thanks! I was gonna ask if maybe your mother would give out her recipe

There is this Korean BBQ joint right across the street from me... It is a freaking amazing hole in the wall. You get a tray of like 12 appetizers when you order. I think I know where I am having dinner!!

On the water this morning. All out of coffee due to some poor planning.

I don't know if I'd go that far. Can think of plenty of other options I'd prefer. But it's definitely tasty.

cheapest crock near that size would cost you over 150 bucks around here. (20L)

you can use this for 55 bucks with shipping and it is 5L bigger.

Nice! I gotta go all the way to Lansing (1.5 hrs) to get good Korean. But my best friend is Korean and she has taught me a ton. Usually two or more nights a week is Korean dinner in my house

I'll stick with buckets for fermenting veggies. Does your mom put oysters in her kimchi?

Depends on who she is making it for. I like substituting anchovies instead of oysters.
