Thanks everyone. Im still trying to wrap my mind around all of this. one minute im thinking I'll rent, then the next I'm thinking about buying. Anyway, the place needs to be big enough to fit me, SWMBO, and Miss SWMBO Jr., and I would really like to have a garage large enough to work on a...

I've been coming to that same realization that I probably won't find an area that is Maine-like around those parts, and that's ok with me as long as they are still safe areas. Some areas we are considering are Ypsilanti, Huron Township, and Flat Rock. It seems house prices are comparable to what...

It's been a long time since I've been on here... too long... like 2 years too long... Some fortunate and unfortunate events have led me to unfortunately place brewing on the "back-burner". I bought a house, had a beautiful kid, developed a rare tumor in Mr. Righty, lost Mr. Righty, developed...

I haven't brewed a batch since March of this year, and it's killing me. Since I haven't brewed, I've neglected myself from going here to HBT. I'm still trying to figure out the new layout to figure out where different links are and such, but I think I'll get it. Back in March I started to go...

Forever.

I've under filled on multiple occasions, and haven't had any issues except for under carbonarion. Im not saying thats its OK to under fill, but I dont think saying it will "always" over carbonate is correct. On a different note, I met a guy at a beer store with bandages and stitches on one of...

I've had good luck using twist off bottles. Usually bottle bombs are not from the style off bottle (unless you use wine bottles or something), rather than over carbonating the beer being bottled. The twist off bottle shouldnt explode. It would just leak if its not fully sealed. I use a Red Baron...

Pics? Oh, I posted too soon... Awesome! What do you plan to do with them?

You said it yourself. Just had to point that out. No need to keep trying to convert people to do practices that you feel are the right way. :mug: Like I like to say: If we all did something only one way, because someone before us says it's the only way to do it, we would all be naked and still...

I have made meads with both bread yeast and wine yeast. They DO have different characteristics that may be beneficial for what you are trying to achieve in the end product. The bread yeast leaves the mead pretty sweet. The pith from the oranges leaves a nice subtle bitterness that very nicely...

I'm sorry to hear that about your aunt. May the best of luck fall upon her. I fear this thread will start a "you can't sell homebrew" argument though.

you sure can do that.

It depends on how much liquid I have on top of my yeast, but I usually don't worry about it too much. I usually do 1 ounce of DME per cup of water. If I think there's about 1 cup of liquid on top of the yeast, I'll just make a starter with an extra ounce of dry malt extract to offset what I'll...

1.6 liter starter with occasional shaking. Yeast that was unwashed and kept in the refrigerator for 4-5 months. Day 1- No signs of activity. Day 2- Vigorous Activity. Day 3- Very little activity. Pitched the whole thing into a batch today.

My mistake. I was under the impression that it would have been transferred to another container.

The picture you posted is a gas post. The number of "points" doesn't determine gas or liquid, rather than the notch that runs horizontal around the "points". As you can see in the picture, there IS a horizontal notch around the points of the post, so that IS a gas post.

I'm too drunk to read. I had to look a the pictures multiple times, wondering why that refrigerator was so deep. Then I realized you installed a collar on the door. Nice work!

that's coming from a person with the user name "Dat az"

My pen is is long.
