I stand corrected, but.... like the Negra calls itself a Munich Dunkel, Dos Equis Amber calls itself a Vienna Lager - go figure.

I think you guys are thinking Dos Equis amber.

Try it! In terms of mega breweries, it's a great beer. My favorite mass and Mexican beer (outside of Mexico,) dark and light. On tap is even better. Negra is finally opening the mass market to dark lagers. There used to be a lot of dark lagers on the mass market, Schlitz and Lowenbrau dark was...

Don't fry bacon in the nude.

Here's my chill plate.

For full bags I use rubbermaid style totes. Just store the bag in them, not emptying the grain. Once I get to 30-40lbs move to a couple vittle vaults. Someone in our club started using these. They look very functional and cheap. They're at Sams - 40lbs, foodgrade, handle & spout for pouring, & $15.

What's the cost on these various systems? Are the files interchangeable if you wanted to convert somewhere down the line? I used Beersmith since about 2017 and enjoy it. They're now up to version 3 which I am on.

I've had a Traeger for over 10 years. I also have a Weber gas grill. For me, the Traeger is primarily a smoker and I use it for few other random items to cook, but it doesn't take the place of my gas grill. I know the pellet grill folks try to sell you on it taking the place of your other...

I'm going to have to go with the connecting directly to the barb, as I do not believe there will be enough room in the tower for three connectors. Good news is those barbs are super thin. I'm also not sure how I'm going to connect to the chill plate as it is pretty tight, seven pass plate. May...

I'm doing a redesign on my jockey box and as part of that switching to EVABarrier lines. I guess I'm just over thinking it. A simple union like above would work fine and be cheaper than what I was thinking. Thanks I use two towers attached to a wooden lid on top of my cooler. I would like to...

I'm looking for a solution on my jockey box. I need some quick disconnects, in the beer line, for my beer tap towers. I see quick disconnects for gas, and maybe those might work, but nothing specific for the eva barrier liquid. I need to be able to remove the towers easily for transport.

I have a 3v system, RIMS. I have a hose which sits on top of the grain bed when I recirculate. I just let that hose lay on top of the false bottom (I have water underneath the false bottom area, keeps the grain from falling through), put the grain on top of the hose/false bottom and start...

Agreed, always fair prices and great service.

I'm an outdoor, edge of the garage, brewer. Three vessel, triple propane burner, except when I do decoction, then it's four burners. I brew year around, but fair weather - not on windy days or if it's going to rain too much.
