Bear in mind, either method will require you to leave the keg motionless to the very last glassful. You can move it with the utmost care, but to transfer it somewhere will cloud up your beer.

I second the "Having said that,..." "With that said,..." etc. Drives me bugs. Also: prolly ect. closure epiphany surreal

Ah the always disappointing fermentus interruptus. Do you feel you aerated well enough? What was your method?

My immersion wort chiller with the motorized paint stirrer. No laborious stirring, and that free time is definitely put to good use at that point in the brew session.

Ahhh... change the amount to zero! Man, I spent way too much time on this. A "delete" option, common everywhere else, would be the ticket. Oh well, thanks man!

So say I sold some of my grain to a buddy, and I simply want to delete that grain from my inventory. The "delete" button is grayed out. How do I delete it?

Keg it when it becomes clear. Use gelatin if you need to. And I don't prime kegs with sugar because I don't want sediment in the bottom. All CO2. Kegging is the bomb.

Simply read the "I love apfelvin" (sp) thread and you'll have it nailed!

I cut out a plastic pail top to fit my false bottom and secured it with little computer screws. It disassembles easily for cleaning and works perfectly. No way for grains to get under the false bottom and clog the outlet.

The motor, which Herbach doesn't carry right now, and a few other sites to check out. http://www.herbach.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=HAR&Category_Code=ACGEARHEAD&Offset=0&Previous_Stack_Depth=0 http://www.electronicsurplus.com/leftnav/motors/acgearmotors.cat...

My cheap refracto has never gone out of whack, as in, I've never needed to adjust it. Expect the same.

Here you go. And congrats! I always say, it's hard to make bad beer when you go all grain!

It reads low at both ends, less so near boiling. I would just add 1 to whatever it reads (for mash and HLT temperatures) and carry on.

I thought theses were good when I made them: http://www.sonofthesouth.net/tamales/

Any of you guys ever work the night shift and find yourself enjoying your beer after work? I really love tossing back a few to unwind, even though it's 7am. Immense enjoyment and a great relaxer before hitting the hay. I'm on number two at the moment. Bliss!
