One of the benefits of cooling a whole room, is that you will also need a cool place to store the wine after it is made.

LOL .... no, nothing goofy with the dates. Just goofy me. The year just flew by before I knew it. I got involved with other projects, so I kept the lock filled with cheap vodka and kept on truckin'. I never planned to bulk age for that long! As far as I can tell, the batch is quite good. I...

Walker, How did your wine turn out?? I haven't been around here in a while, but I'm finally bottling my Stag's Leap Merlot tomorrow. I rented a big boy corker for five dollars. I hope everything works out well. I think my batch should be plenty aged by now... lol Joe

Ah, a guitar thread! :D (btw: I posted this grinning guy in one of my posts, and now he is here as an option for everyone!) Where is my free t-shirt? ;) I have been playing a few years. From a semi-noob to a noob, yes, get your guitar set up by a professional. Many people have given up...

Thanks for the advice and tips. Yeah, I can stick weld a little. I received some hands on training while taking an Airframe & Powerplant course a few years back. If I decide to do any welding, I'm sure I'll practice some before attempting the project. Even at the price, I doubt I will buy this...

Bumping this back to the top for some more laughs. Not really work friendly.... :eek:

Pep Boyz has a 70 amp AC arc welder going for 79 dollars. Would the thing even be suitable for welding angle iron with, to make a three tier AG setup? There aren't many horses under the hood. From the ad: * two heat settings * welds from 18 gauge up to 1/8" steel * 115 volt input...

knewshound, Here is a thread from a while back worth reading through: How do homebrew stores even stay in business? ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page) Much of it contains what people would like to see in a homebrew shop. Don't forget the winemakers, either. They bring in big bucks, especially as...

I'm with ablrbrau in saying that bulk priming is the way to go, 'cept I would siphon the beer into the bottling bucket on top of the priming solution. That way, everything gets mixed together fairly well, just by the movement of the beer swirling into the bucket. Of course, you would still want...

I hear ya, bro. I'm sure I'll be doing AG before my three-tier setup is complete. I was mainly suggesting using a converted keg as a mash tun for ten gallon batches. I mean, 50 dollar coolers are already being discussed. I got a 12 dollar keg, a Weld-B-Gone bulkhead fitting, a stainless steel...

Ah, I see. My Merlot is still bulk aging. I think I may hold off on bottling 'til mid September. That way it can age a bit more and be over the bottle shock by the holidays. Plus, I will be on vacation then. We shall see. Looking forward to hearing how your bottling session goes. I'll...

If you want to do 10 gallon batches (and can brew outside), I would build your mash/lauter tun out of a 15 gallon Sanke keg. That's what I'm doing. It's almost finished. It just needs an insulation blanket. The hole in the top that I cut out, will just allow the bottom protruding portion of a...

Silly boy, what's wrong with wine and women? Ohh, Walker??? Did you bottle your wine yet? How did your corker work? Did you soak the corks?

Welcome, FG! Nothing odd about posting on a forum for the first time. The only thing odd around here, is all the oddballs! But a darn fine bunch of oddballs they are.... :mug:
