In one of the keezers I made with a friend we used two layers of 1X4 as it was what we had on hand. I think that this help when attaching the shanks vs just one inch collar. the wood is a fine insulator in my book.

I'm in Coos Bay! PM me anytime if your interested. I've been brewing in southern Oregon since 1992. I might be able to help you find some local resources.

I have a shop vac next to my mill. It makes for easy clean up with less dust.

I've always use a false bottom with my single infusion system. 1 keggle and 1 mash tun. I almost always use whole hops to help strain the trub at the end of the boil. It seems to work well. However, since I have been using a counter current chiller I also use a hop back every time and my...

RDWHAHB! When I used iodine for sterilizing I rinsed with HOT water from the water faucet and bottled with the bottles wet. It will be fine! It always came out well. You might want to avoid clear and green bottles to put your beer in. It is my understanding that light affects your beer...

That is where I was headed with this thread. Do you mind sharing your recipe with us? Thanks!

Don't forget to lubricate you bearings in your grain mill! Glad you found where they are coming in.

I’ve been boiling DME for years to make my starter. It occurred to me that I could just make a batch of wort and bottle it for future use with starter and save a lot of time. Does anyone have experience with this? I usually make a 2 liter starter for 10 gallon batches. I suppose champagne...

Mice are a regular problem in my brew shop in the country. I keep my grains in sealed mouse proof buckets and have traps EVERYWHERE! After using my grainmill I use the shopvac. This seems to keep the little buggers at bay! When I do have a problem I bleach the crap out of everything. I...

LOL! Sorry! It was my first trip to London. This one was near the Churchill bunker museum and it was reported that it was one that he frequented. That's the best I can do. It was a very comfortable place with great pies. As I recall the main beers on tap there were a selection of Fullers...

It probably is a bit boring as a standard lager! I guess that is what my taste buds were into that night. But for me, a nice clean tasting lager can be refreshing! I'm willing to give it another try and see if I despise it! Are you interested in sponsoring another brew trip to London...

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions! We Stayed in Marlybone on Chiltern just around the corner from The Globe at Baker Street station. There were a ton of great pubs within walking distance of our flat. Some honorable mentions were the Red Lion Pub, The George Pub and the Coach...

GerritT, It just northwest of Regent's Park. I will follow up on Yelp but I'm hoping to hear from some of our beer enthusiasts here on the forum. Thanks for the input. I hope to try a few excellent beers from your neighborhood someday!

A little help? I just arranged to be in London U.K. at New Years to meet up with an old buddy and family! I've never been there and I am itching to taste some authentic local beer!:mug: We will be in the vicinity of St. John's Wood. Does anyone know of any great craft breweries in the...
