From my first job in an ice cream parlor, I was told by the owner that the secret to the best chocolate shakes is vanilla syrup, so adding a bean or extract is definitely worth a shot in any chocolate stout. On an unrelated note, has anybody experimented by putting some PB2 directly into 12...

My buddy loves stout and has middle eastern heritage, so I was thinking of making a honey & fig oatmeal stout. Possibly some clove or cinnamon added. I've seen other threads where figs are discussed, but they seem to lean toward lighter, non-roasty ale styles like Amber or Saison/Dubbel...

That is an insane amount of trub. Excuse my morning-after-beer-indulgence brain :drunk:, but are you thinking that Whirlfloc is the culprit, or are you saying that you don't use Whirlfloc?

Blowoff pictures?! We're in 2013 and demand our beer porn in hi-def video format! Not mine, but the "sleepy WTF just happened" tone in this guy's voice is great: http://youtu.be/UgfubawsrcM

I haven't tried them, but I'm sure somebody has. From scrounging around the interwebs, the main benefit is less force on the seal, which helps prevent "galling" the post threads. It sounds like they'd work fine on the posts, but the up-charge may not be worthwhile if you replace after every...

After searching the interwebs and HBT, I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly your standard 1/4" Swivel Nut (silver-colored) is made out of. Stainless? Something else with stainless plate? Leaving my aerator hose & swivel nut/airstone combo in StarSan for a few hours caused the...

The instructions that came with my pump/filter kit said it lasts about a year with normal use. Unfortunately it fell into the StarSan solution after its maiden voyage ... they aren't supposed to get wet, so I'll be replacing it since I'd rather spend the $ for peace of mind.
