    New Beer sign

    Got the idea when I was in the Swamp Rabbit taproom in Traveler's Rest, SC. Friend of a friend has access to a cnc plasma table and we did the rest by hand. 25 candelabra sockets with 6 watt scoreboard bulbs.

    Cut in cooler lining help

    I'd find an epoxy to use. There are plenty that should work.

    What is your Brewing Pet-Peeve?

    I personally don't care for the term SWMBO. Just say wife or girlfriend.

    made my own BIAB

    I regularly do 20-23 lb 10g biab. I normally have a friend to help lift it out, otherwise I drain off a good bit of the wort into a bucket so I don't have to lift/hold the bag as high. As someone else said the biggest problem is fitting the bag through the keg opening and mine is cut 12" or so.

    Diamond Plate Shelf

    Atlanta has a metal outlet store: http://www.metalsupermarketsatl.com/ They have scraps or they can cut you more or less anything to size. Not sure if there's something like that where you are.

    fining in 24hrs?

    Gelatin has needed a few days in my experience too. Pushing it to another keg would at least get the beer off any sludge at the bottom of the current keg.

    How to use gelatin?

    I don't use it often, usually when I want to serve it young to others who respond better to clear beer. I don't secondary so I use it in the keg. First pint or 2 is a little sludgy but after that its fine.

    How to use gelatin?

    It's not instantaneous for one thing. Also I tend to use a tablespoon in 1-2 cups of boiled but still hot water. Let it bloom for a few minutes then stir it up and dump it in. I swirl the keg after dumping it in and wait a few days. Give it 3-4 days and you should see a difference. EDIT: Just...

    Longest brew day

    So you just pop the lid on a jar, pour it into a sanitized container w/ a fresh yeast vial and let it go?

    DIY themowell from 1/4" tube

    I used a piece of soft copper and plugged the end with a short piece of 00 ground wire. Ground it smooth and haven't had any problems sense.

    Where do I buy/order hop rhizomes in GA?

    I haven't grown any in a couple years but cascade and centennial are my gotos and they're both tough as nails for growing. Plan on a couple years to really see any production but it's pretty cool to see how fast they grow.

    Where do I buy/order hop rhizomes in GA?

    Not sure if Brewmasters Warehouse is still taking orders but they were selling them. They're in Marietta.

    Anybody not happy with SS camlock QD?

    I just switched to them at the first of the year but I don't have any complaints. They're a little tough to lock down initially but they're pretty easy to use.
