Anyone use toner cartridges at work? These couldn't be more perfect for shipping bombers. Fits 2 snugly. It's basicly a shell of air paks with a flip up lid. I have grabbed 3 since I noticed and tried them today. They are made to fit perfectly into a 12x12x14 shipping box also. Makes for an...

This week I started putting together my yeast bank. I got some 25ml autoclavable vials, a pipet and I already had a stirplate set up. I have 3 yeasts banked. I started by sanitizing with starsan. I than added 15% glycerin(from my lhbs) and pulled yeast slurry from my cooled starter. I capped...

I'm in the planning phase of upgrading my brewing system. I'm using a copper counterflow chiller currently. Is there any reason I can't have my chiller running in line for a recirculation set up in my bk? The pump set up would be for whirlpooling and transfer. My thought is this would be the...

I have a friend who is a local farmer. He is offering some free wheat and barley. What would have to be done to use this in brewing? Also he asked if I wanted high protein or low protein wheat. Anyone have experience with this? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My girlfriend found these growing on her workplace's property. She's going to bring a few cones home tonight. Are these usable? What are the signs of a mature cone? I don't know anything about growing. Any advice would be awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Anybody really good with image editing? A friend drew me a great label and I'm wanting to make it into a stencil for glass etching. I've messed with it with gimp a little bit but I'm wondering if any body with a little more skill could help with tips or messing with the image itself? My problem...

Just found a bomber. Drink or trade? I know I've heard of it a few times but is it rare enough to be worth trading? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm wanting to go ebiab in the future and am thinking about gfci protection. From what I see the inline cord is basically outdated and deemed unsafe. I'm renting so I can't permanently instal a spa panel. But I would like to stay 240 so in the future I could go this route. Is it possible to...

I made a stout about 6 mo ago. Recently I went to rack it to a keg and realized it had a pretty established lacto infection. (Breaking ice look across the top with a slick white looking layer.) I decided to rack anyway. I stopped with a good amount in the carboy as to leave most of the goo...

http://www.ebrewsupply.com/element-package.html I just saw this link and was curious what else I would need to convert my 17g kettle over to Ebiab. I'm mostly just wanting a rough estimate on cost. I know I would need a pid. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm currently using brewpal in iOS and it's a decent app. It tracks recipes and has a lot of the ingredients built in. It also does a brew day tracker for mash and boil schedule and ferment tracker. The question is how much of an upgrade is Beer smith? Is it worth it? Sent from my iPhone...

I was planning in doing a collar for taps, but I'm not a fan of the freezer lid showing. I was thinking of doing a wooden top for it that trims up to the collar. I was imaging a dark color hard wood for this to match the rest of my furniture and to be somewhat resilient . What would be the...

What's a good website for cheap bulk 2 row and hops?

So I'm new to starters. Especially Brett ones. I just want to make sure my process is okay before jumping in. I have a homemade stir plate and a growler. My plan is to make 1.03 wort using light dme (how much roughly?) in 1L of pre boiled water. Let spin for a few days. (Can i use an airlock...

I'm in Montana so I can get most of the nw beers. I can also get goose islands Matilda, Lolita, Pepe and Bear Republics Racer 5 and hop rod rye. I'm looking for RR's sours but I'd love to try Pliny also! Send me a message.

I'm wanting to make a keezer. How much do these usually run up the electricity bill? There's an older freezer on craigslist right now for cheap. I'm in an apartment and don't want the bill to go sky high. Would a chest freezer run less? I'm assuming it wouldn't run that much because it would be...

So FedEx tracking says damaged in transit. Returning to shipper. It was my understanding they toss leaking packages? I had every bottle in a ziplock bag wrapped in bubble wrap and filled all the void space with shredded paper. Anyone have this happen? I don't see how it could be damaged to the...
