It plays mortal combat..along with about 3000 other games. Pretty much anything prior to the mid-90's runs arcade perfect on mame

Sanyo Conversion next to my MAME arcade..my 2 favorite projects!

OK, I'm going to measure my pre-boil gravity this time around to hone in on my efficiency. I'm guessing my wort will be around 150-170 after the sparge...I have a wine thief and can take a sample at that time. But do can I just plop my hydrometer in at that temp and then using software to...

I have a recipe that calls for Pale Malt(2-row) America (for a SNPA clone). I'm ordering from Austin Homebrew Supply...which base grain does that equate to: Brewers 2-Row Malt http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_21_71_110&products_id=83 or Pale Ale Malt...

perfect..thx! And nice idea with the o-rings for targets as well.

What do you guys use to mark off your sight glass measurements? I have the bargain fittings sight glass and looking for something a little nicer than just magic marker, if possible. Something like this would be ideal, but I have no idea what was used here...

this link pretty much sums up my feeling on the subject http://deadspin.com/5557348/the-awful-epitome-of-brahsomeness-bros-icing-bros

I had 2 batches of cream ale, and I kegged one batch but have never gotten around to kegging the other (or racking it to a secondary). So it's been sitting in the primary bucket since mid January (temp was maintained at < 70 for 3-4 weeks, but since then the temp has fluctuated since I haven't...

I don't own a thermopen, but I agree with the sentiment. I've been through 4 thermometers and frustrated each time (1 I had, 3 I bought). I think I got lucky with a cheapo 4th one (Seemed to work well for my last batch), but if you look at what I dumped on the 3 altogether and the...

First batch I'm kegging and first batch I'm using gelatin. My cream of 3 crops ale was in primary for 3 weeks, now I put it in the fridge overnight last night to "cold crash" for a few days before I rack to a keg. My questions: 1) Should I add gelatin to the primary today and then rack...

Wouldn't this depend on whether you have a regulator with a safety valve preventing backflow of beer into the regulator? (read that somewhere, but I'm new to kegging so not the one to make suggestions)

Working on my first kegerator (sanyo 4912 conversion) and have a few questions. a) I ordered a chrome tower and got it fitted with perlicks when it was sent to me. If I want to take out the taps and connected hose (for easier installation of the tower which I'm having issues with now) do I...

You add the gelatin to the primary, then cold crash? Reason I'm asking is I just had my first successful 10G batch (BM's Cream of 3 crops ale) and this happens to be the first time I'm kegging, so I'm hoping to have a nice beer in my new kegerator. Since I used my bucket and better bottle...

Just finished brewing this recipe...it was my first 10 gallon batch. Long story as I accidentally ordered the recipe for the 11.5 gallon batch and wasn't meaning too :) Anyways, decided to bite the bullet and do it anyways and split it across 2 fermenters (my 6.5 gal bucket and 5 gallon better...
