    March pump or Chugger pump

    I'm seeing early June as a delivery date for most places, MoreBeer included. Motor made by March, bleed valve, flow control, easy disassembly, power switch, etc. for 10$ more than the March on your list. IMO I would wait a few weeks if I needed a new pump.

    New Hampshire Wine Bottles needed

    I'd try a local restaurant that serves a lot of wine. I have a local Italian place that is more than happy to provide me with bottles when I stop in for dinner.

    Getting off stubborn pin lock post

    Turn them the other way? In all seriousness, if none of the above methods worked, maybe a looong soak in kroil/penetrating oil might help. I'd have replacement O-rings ready because if the torch didn't get them, the penetrating oil might. Also your method of heating and cooling is kind of...

    Spring/summer Brew Recipe Problem

    Lager! I brewed a pilsner about a month ago using the quick method and now I'm upset I waited so long to give lagers a try. If you have temp control, you are good to go. Take a look at the Brulosophy article on it and give it a shot.

    Nearly 3 weeks at 10 psi, still no carb

    Like I mentioned earlier, one of the easiest was to see if its making in into the keg is pull your pressure relief valve and listen for your tank to refill the keg. If the pressure doesn't come back up, the C02 isn't making it in to the keg. While adding sugar and waiting for the yeast to...

    Fermenting In Florida Question

    I'm also from Florida and that's how I started out. Swamp coolers don't work so well with the high humidity, so I started using one of those party tubs filled with some water to set my carboy in. Kept a rotation of plastic 1L bottles frozen to bring down the temps. That's until I found a...

    Nearly 3 weeks at 10 psi, still no carb

    That is fairly strange. Just to make sure the C02 is flowing, have you pulled the PRV to see if more gas flows in?

    Dry Hopping

    Which kit? Or better yet, do you know what hops are in it? Someone could make a rec based on that.

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    Woah, what temp did you cook at? 7 hours is super quick.

    Foamy 1st Pour

    Sounds to me like a combo of warm shanks and a fairly high serving pressure. What temp is your beer at?

    What is this and why do all of my sours have it?

    Having a hard time seeing what it is, but sounds like its "sick". Pedio does this. Slide 9 of this presentation by Vinnie lays out what the ropiness is. http://www.slideshare.net/bschmaltz/r-rsour-beerpresentation

    Show us your EDC blades

    No pics that are easy to get to, but I have been carrying a Paramilitary 2 for a couple years. Don't think I could be happier. Every time I use it, any knife envy I have goes away.

    power outage, cold beer

    Check your gravity. If it's at what the kit calls for, go ahead and bottle. Many of us cold crash to ~32 prior to bottling with no ill effects, with the exception of maybe a few more days to reach full carb. Unless you froze the carboy, I wouldn't be too worried.

    So... what the heck happened?

    Definitely agree with d3track. Lactose will stick around after fermentation and raise your gravity. How much is in the recipe?
