    My Knotty Pine Smoker Build

    Thanks for the kudos! I'm not a professional though, I just do it for fun. It's about 36" tall and about 21"x18" inside. I still have a few kinks to work out of it. I started with a small 2 burner camp stove for the burner. Well, to get the little propane line to the bottle I had to drill a...

    Will I still get starch conversion?

    Great, thanks for the comfort. I figured it would be okay, but it's nice to have a little reassurance.

    Will I still get starch conversion?

    I have been brewing all grain for a while and it seems there is always a little hick-up in my brew day. Tonight I got distracted while heating my strike water and when I came back to it, it was at the temp I heat it to for my sparge. About 20 degrees too hot. It didn't click until I mixed my...

    Homemade Mash Paddle Pics

    Please report back after using your paddle. I've noticed that if I don't oil mine, or if its been a while, the grain will swell a bit. I'm curious if the torched spots will be more sealed. I may just make another paddle and give it a light toasting with the torch and then sand it and see how...

    What a Brew Day....

    So I took the afternoon off work to come home and make some beer. Things were going fantastic. I hit an all time high efficiency too, 84% pre-boil! The boil and hop additions went perfectly and then it was time to chill the beer. I put in my homemade immersion chiller and turned on the...

    Brewmasters Warehouse

    I have always received decent service from BMW. I just place my first order with them since everyone has reported issues so I was curious to see how it went. It took about 6 business days to ship and was in transit for another 3 (i live in the Midwest). It's not the fastest service I've had...

    Homemade Mash Paddle Pics

    Construction lumber is made of pine. It is a softwood with a very loose grain. It does not do well when it gets wet repeatedly. That's why they use green-treat lumber in exposed places and you certainly don't want to use that in your beer! Your time would be better spent on a nice piece of...

    Homemade Mash Paddle Pics

    That is my favorite one I've seen yet! Beautiful piece of wood. It looks full of character like it has its own personality. Also completely functional, probably more so than some of those fancy laser cut paddles. You have to remember the point of using the paddle is thoroughly mix the grains...

    Wet shaving thread.

    I also went to Walmart and got a large glass ice cream bowl. It's got a big base that's easy to hang on to and the bowl shape is perfect.

    Wet shaving thread.

    I've been using a slightly more aggressive open comb razor that requires a much lighter touch. I've had great luck with the bluebirds and the personna labs (blue package). I would recommend them.

    Wet shaving thread.

    I received my razorock open comb in the mail the other day and have used it twice. Two of the best shaved I've had for a while. It's a little more aggressive than what I'm used to but it is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

    Wet shaving thread.

    Go over to badgerandblade.com there is a lot of info to learn from and some really nice gents that do an excellent job getting them shave ready, and most do it for free. Then you know the razor is ready and you can work learning to use it.
