What' s up with the Garth Brooks microphone? He can' t just use a regular mike?

No problem. I am only using a 6 inch piece, and it works great. Plus I don' t hit when I stir up my mash.

If they are from your backyard I wouldn' t use them for bittering because you won' t know the IBU. Maybe buy a couple ounces from the HBS. Use your homegrown for the end.

Good call. Free is always the best price! The parts should work just the same. Don' t worry about it. I use a rectangular cooler also and like it a lot. I suggest a braid instead of a manifold. I got much better effeciency.

MMMM orange juice!!

LOL! Back when I smoked the hops cousin we used to use a lighter to show how big a bud was.:D

Looks nice Bugeater. I really like the labels on the top, and the brewery logo looks awseome.:mug:

Holy S*** my elbow hurts just thinking about it.

They had a keg of their devils backbone belgian style triple at the pizza place I go to that has a good beer selection. I really liked it. Had a good estery belgian yeast profile. Not to mention the waitress hooked me up with a 22oz for the price of a 12oz. I was a little warm after that.

I just brewed a saison with T58 dry yeast. It has that spicy phenolic smell to it so we will see how it goes. I live in an apartment so my yeast would sit in the hot office if I ordered liquid.

I just bottled a 1.072 Saison that finished at 1.010. 8.21% according to Promash. I only ended up with about 3.5 gallons in the fermenter, so it only took one rehydrated pack of T-58 dry yeast and was going after 3 hours. I let it ferment at about 80 though. I was wanting to try out this yeast...

Is it just me or does the guy with long hair look like James May from Topgear

Congratulations! My first just turned 6 months. It' s really not as hard as everybody makes it sound. Just be ready for horrible formula burps.

Congratulations!! Nice to have it all over with.
