I used to brew outside and sometimes its not bad, but for the most part I would rather be inside. My outside burner is less powerful than the big burner on the stove. Its an industrial awesome stove and a very weak turkey fry burner.... As far as kegging goes, I may someday, but for now I...

when I saw this thread it had 10 veiws and 9 post, so I figured I wasnt going to kill the ratio by not saying something:) My wife drinks the beer but hates the brewing process and saving bottles process. "the whole house stinks, can we open a window?!?!?!" "get these $#@& bottles out of the...

on another note, I have been curious about how beer competitions work. I have heard that the same beer may get gold in one competition and dead last in another. ***I do not expect this beer to get any medals!!! I wanted to send this to a few competitions just to see what the ratings are and...

DrunkleJon -- thanks for the info I spoke with my father-in-law, who is a trama surgeon (not that he deals with alot of botulism cases, but I figure he knows more about it than me and my friends...) and he said, your probably fine, and if you do get it they have acure for it. So I think...

BOOOM!!!!! excellent work jonmohno!!!! and its only $30!!! http://www.brewdemon.com/equipment/all-equipment/conical-fermenting-system.html

I like the 2 gal food grade bucket idea, Ill have to check if they make 3 gal ones. I am sure I can find one somewhere.

So I have recently brewed 6 growler sized batches and am going to bottle them soon. I would like a smaller bottling bucket as the width of min (5 gal ale pale, with spigot about and inch up from bottom) I feel like there will be a lot of tipping the bucket and getting the sludge at the bottom...

well now I am nervous about dying... can I get a kit or something to test it for botulism? Then in the event that it has this stuff in it should I just pitch my fermenter and everything else that touched this stuff? :(

so I got around to brewing this stuff and it smelled fine however when I opened the can it was preasurized in there. Almost like it had been fermenting in the can? I am assuming that this was supposed to have a bit of a red hint to it, well it was as dark as some of the darkest...

Thats what I was going to ask

I currently live in Colorado but grew up in Toledo area and come back every year on the 4th of July to get together with the family on Middle Bass Island (the island next to Put-in-Bay) Since there is no beer store on the island I have to bring a weeks worth of beer with me when I go and...

I think this is the list!!! If you were going to change it to eight I would add a blonde and an ESB. Not sure what country they would come from, perhapse Belgian and England again? This takes away from your 1 beer 1 country idea though....

Seems like a pretty logical answer!

Yeah I meant 9/31/2007 must have mistyped, it is interesting that there are not 31 days in September...? Its just a sticker from a hand held pricing gun so what ever ying yang put it on there might have been drinking or something? I am deffinetly going to brew it and replace the yeast with...

I thought this was a hiliarious and most likely 100% true post. But I cant throw out free beer! I have the space for fermenting it and im just going to be sitting around drinking beer this weekend anyways, why not throw it in a bucket? Sounds like per the directions I dont even boil it...

Genius! :mug: Hijack away I got my questions answered, and have actually been curious about this cold crashing, now that I have the ability to do it. Theoretically can you cold crash any and all beers? Would there ever be a time that cold crashing would be bad? What do you do with your...

yeah thanks for the responses, it did come withthe instructions, and I can ask my LHBS guy about the yeast, im sure he'll have an idea. I guess I was more asking if anyone has used one of these kits before and if so did they feel it was kinda watered down and I should add more hops, or maybe...

So when I came into work this morning there was a BREWFERM Framboos can/kit on my desk with no note as to who it came from? I sent an email out at work so I can thank the person and give them a 6 pack of the stuff when its done. To the point, the sticker on the bottom says 31/9/07 which I am...

not only suscribed but inspired to do a similar experiment in Denver:D

Thanks for all the response's everyone!!! I read half of them the other day and thought I posted something and now just realized that I didn't... I think I am going to go for the thermowell idea seems to be the most accurate option, and does not sound to expensive. Think I'm also going...
