Last brew & still on tap: Dragon's Silk Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout!

I'm looking at switching to eBIAB, but I'm also looking at 240v with water/wort/mash everywhere, electric cords everywhere, electric controllers, pumps, heating elements, etc. ;)

Can it also do soil testing? With all the Inkbird devices I own, I might just change my name to Inkbird!

Make sure you check out Missouri Malt in Fenton. Although I currently live in Northern Kentucky, St Louis is home!

Possibly soldier fly larvae, not maggots? I get these in my compost. Attracted to wet grain and decaying vegetable material. Chickens love soldier fly larvae more than spent grains! The flies do not bite. They remind me of trilobites...

Delta Brewing Systems makes the FermTank, a 4 gallon small batch ss fermenter. 4 PSI for pressure transfer. Does not have a bottom drain, although their 2 other larger tanks do. I *might* buy one eventually, although my glass carboys still do the job! I only do 3 gallon batches...

I bought the Picnic Tap 2.0 about 2 weeks ago for use on 3 gallon Amcly style kegs. Plenty of room to put a glass under the tap. No drips yet! Will soon buy a second one for my other 3 gallon keg. It does pour a bit slower than the basic picnic tap. Foaming is not an issue, at least not...

My wife doesn't like beer. Never picked up the habit. But, she never complains. In fact, she encourages me to brew! The only time she helps is if I bottle. To make it even more interesting, she's beginning to pick-up the beer lingo and sounds like a brewer!

Count me in for subscription!

Missouri Malt in Fenton, Missouri (actually, southwest St Louis area) for malt, hops, yeast and other ingredients including flour for baking! Although I live south of Cincinnati (Listermann and Paradise Brewing) I visit St Louis often enough to stock up on ingredients. I do buy local to fill...

Ball locks. And definitely need to convert the fridge to a nicer arrangement.

United States of America! And the weather outside is frightful!

Well, there is cane sugar, made from cane sugar, and table/regular sugar, made from sugar beets. True cane sugar is processed less than regular sugar. Usually the bag will say which type. Not much difference chemically.

There are several brew clubs in the Cincinnati area and 1 in Northern Kentucky. Also a couple of homebrew stores in Cincy. I'll dig up the links for ya... I'm in Kenton County!

Of all the factors being considered regarding bottle strength, one might need to take into account whether the glass itself is made of recycled glass or virgin glass (waiting for the wise cracks).
