I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Amazon tracking ads.

Expensive way to braise pork. I'll stop now before I'm arrested for being off-topic.

I think NB has great kits and good gear. But I'm tired of getting an email from them 5 or 6 times each week. No, I am not exaggerating.

This kinda makes me want to head to the nearest good bar and start spouting all the nonsense that gets quoted here.

Getting rid of sediment is the only reason I rack to a secondary fermentation. Did you use a secondary in this case?

Well, that's a weird bastardization of shruggie. Can the auto-emoticons be turned off?

They say Guinness is way better in Ireland. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

5 Rabbits makes a good one called 5 Vultures. It has very gentle heat that begins to accumulate by the end of the glass. Inspired by Oaxacan chocolate, I think.

That's a glamour job for you.

I have to say, I've been pretty impressed by their recipes. I would have called their Synchronicity Wheaten Saison a white IPA with saison yeast. But whatever. It was delicious either way, despite my doubts.

Red Robin? The burger place? Here in Chicago it's quick casual burgers. No beer.

They're finally just admitting their only value proposition.

I completely hear that. My second assistant is 1 month old. My wife really would have preferred I not brew the Saturday before Easter. My first assistant is five, though. And as she insisted and demonstrated yesterday, that means she can fill bottles with one hand. These smart-ass assistants...

I hope this isn't insulting, but you did say you were in a rush on brew day... The recommended amount of water for mashing is often given in quarts, and the recommended amount of water for sparging is often given in gallons. Is there any chance you gathered quarts instead of gallons for sparging?

@jpmess I agree about the fumes. Probably the clearcoat. I used the needle valve to fine tune and kept the regulator on the gas open. I also had issues with a low tank, as I mentioned before. It definitely didn't take me that long to get 12+ gallons to a boil, though.
