I like your solution to what each tap is.

I really like their Tricerahops.

Rogue puts all their really good stuff in silk screened bottles :(.

Being born and raised in Portland, I have to go with Stumptown. That said, I really really like Stone.

I do love Black Butte porter!

I'd think for only a couple bottles using Cooper's carb drops or those carbonation tabs might make more sense than fiddling with bits of sugar.

I'm looking to convert my kettle over to electric with some immersion heaters. At the same time I plan on making myself an imersion chiller (been doing the sink with ice thing). All the immersion chillers i've seen look like they need to be resting on the bottom of the brew kettle, but obviously...

I just bought a 5 gallon rubbermade circular one at Home Depot for 17 dollars.

I made this last year, it seems that NB changed the recipe, it called for dry hopping with spices when I made it. That made it waaay too spiced. The only people who really liked it were people who didn't normally drink beer or drank BMC. If I made it again I'd do it the way you did, and omit the...

I've never used a water heater element, so I can't really tell. I know there are several electric system build threads around. I think most of the water tightness comes from sandwiching silicone O-rings between stainless washers, though.

I'd make sure to do a pilot hole and go pretty slowly with a high rpm. With a thin wall like a pot usually is, a holesaw will tend to heat the metal from friction and then if you are pushing hard it will warp it out of the way instead of cutting it. You might want to use a file after the cut is...

cool, thanks. The Arrogant Bastard family of beers are some of my favorites.

What did you mash at?

Guinness bottles are really easy to deal with, as long as you have a pair of needle nose pliers to get the nitro widget out with. The labels are just a piece of shrink wrap plastic so you can pop it with a knife pretty easily. I really like the curves that the bottles have as well. Only downside...

My lhbs had a keg for sale that was converted like this, but the corny lid was put in the top, mounted off center. This allowed you to siphon off any trub from the bottom using the corny post, and then serve using the sanke tap. all in one primary/secondary/serving keg, it was a pretty cool idea.

ill have my BSME in 2011, Oregon Tech

I wish that I had the option of cold crashing. I'm hoping to pick up a dedicated beer fridge this winter.

Does this happen? I hit my final gravity in the primary and transfered to secondary 2 weeks ago from this coming Sunday. I was planning to bottle Sunday, but now I've got white floating specks in my secondary. I'm kinda assuming it's an infection, but I'd like someone else's oppinion. The only...

anyone have any ideas?
