I was thinking of making a malta and freeze drying the spent grains. That should make a good flour.

You can always use Calcium Hydroxide (Pickling Lime) but then you have to offset the alkalinity bump with some acid to balance it out.

I am going to try marigolds around my plants this year. They are supposed to be natural insect repellent plants. I just started a whole load of marigolds from seed and will be trying them with my tomatoes.

Interesting reads here. Had the og strain back in Dec 2020 and had a fever for a day but everyone around me was sick as can be. The only effect on me was anosmia. It was very strong too. Could not smell a thing. Milk is bad? Could not tell. Something rotted? Never knew. Smell started returning...

I do 10 to 20 gallon batches and I live in a deregulated state where the electricity rate is through the roof. I only use electric for the rims system. For the big boils I still get the most out of my propane. Maybe if I could ever afford to cover the whole house with solar panels I might...

Dont mind at all. This shows hothead but I used Omega Hornindal instead and only 2 packs with a starter. I also used 1 oz Cascade Cryo hops for the dry hop along with the regular dry hops. BeerSmith 2 Recipe Printout - BeerSmith™ Home Brewing Software, Recipes, Podcast and Blog Recipe: Victory...

Voss is good but I like the characteristics of Hornindal especially with Amarillo/Cascade mix. Used it on my clone of Old Horizontal and it was very good. Fermented at about 95° but I think I could have taken it to 100° with even better results.

For me, it is worth it. I like nice clean lagers and having the space to let them settle for a very long time make a huge difference. Sure I give a lot away but for me the greatest joy is to create something that is memorable. This lets me be a whole lot more creative and experimental. I built...

They are considered one of the mild peppers but they also can be used to make chili powder and they are also known as ancho chilis when they are dried. I have several recipes I use them for. You could get a bunch and extract capsacin and do a little refining to get the hot stuff you need. Just...

One Chili? I would have to side on the Poblano pepper like the previous poster. They are versatile and can be used to make a variety of things.

That is really early. It has been way too cold here for anything like that. You must have gotten a really early start. I got my Orange Pepperoncinis, Hot Banana, and Jalapeno started last Sunday. This weekend I will be starting about 40 tomato plants to split between myself and father-in-law...

I have both but for speed I prefer my counterflow. The immersion chiller is simple and has benefits but with the counterflow I believe I can chill quicker and have a nice whirpool at the same time. Plus they have stainless counterflows if you are against using copper. Me personally I use...

Nope I only have 3 pumps right now but hope to run 5. I think though as long as I dont try to crash 5 at a time, it will have the capability with all of the output and input barbs. As long as it does not break down I will be good. It is larger than the Penguin but it is at least tall and not...

If you do have a leak it is not really that bad to fix. I like my Icemaster and as soon as I get my Chapman fermenters finished, the system will work perfectly. Mine has 5 stainless output barbs and 5 stainless return barbs. I have 3 pumps in it right now with enough room for 2 more.
