small correction here I think that store is in Taylor, but you don't have to date your sister to shop there

I mostly use Adventures in Brewing, they have two or three stores in Michigan and one in Texas.Been dealing with them for as long as I can remember. I was bottleing one night and the bottle capper I had wouldn't work, I called them and the owner answered and said he was closed. I told him my...

If you are just looking for a brew pot and don't want to use a keg, look for a local resteraunt supplier. I bought my ten gallon pot at one and it was fairly cheap.

Beleive it or not most of the time I put it down the toilet, so far no problems . I also found a friend who has a couple of goats and they love it ........ and you are right it stinks like hell in the garden + my dogs like to roll in it . dam what a mess..

Heh guys give em a break . a fellow brewer once told me that it ain't the clubs that make the Golfer. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.......

I agree, no wheat, however I may upset the apple cart with oats. yes I use .5 lbs in my all grain for head retention and mouth feel. Other than that the crystal 40 and black with some chocolate and US56 ale yeast sounds good to me. I have a similar all grain recipe that just recently won out...

Make the starter and pitch the whole thing I always do anyway never hurt my beer.

For about $16.99 each you can buy pet food containers that have a gasket in the lid to keep out air and moisture. They are monted on casters and hold a 55# bag of grain. I have stored for over a year with no problem. You can buy these at various mega marts look in th pet food dept. they cost...

I have never seen Oxyclean harm anything. I use it for near everything. Cleaning wise that is

I'm to old and weak to be lifting full carboys around so I modified furniture moving dollies I got from Harbor Freight for about 9.99 each( I shortened them from 18" to 12" ) They are now 12" square and will hold all kinds of weight. They have 4 swivel casters on them and they are made of oak...

I bought an aluminum Pot a couple of years ago at a resteraunt supply store. It's ten gal and about 5 mils thick I have been using it for two years and I make real good beer. ( not bragging ) go for it. Aluminum is just fine.

WOW you guys are getting a bit of a price gouge or I'm real lucky. there's a welding supply shop down the road from my LHBS and they charge me either 8 or 10 dollars for my 15 # tank and they fill mine. I bought my tank new and I plan to use that one (I know where it's been). so look around CO2...

Most of these laws date back to the end of prohibition and the Gov protecting us. There are still people out there who think you shouldn't drink beer at all ( misguided souls to be sure) As stated earlier in Colorado you can only buy beer on Sun at the Grocery store and that is why they only...

I found my motor at a flea market and I think it came out of a furnace ( not sure but he had a bunch of that kind of stuff.) Looked like new and cost just $7.50 I bought an extension cord and wired it to a handy box with a switch. works great.

I too bought the Crankandstein CGM2A,Great mill. As for a hopper I used a 3 gal distilled water bottle ( plastic of course). Just drill a hole in the top plate and cut off the bottom of the bottle it will hold about 12 lbs and grinds it up fast enough fot me. You may get faster delivery...

First let me say I don't know if this is true or not but I think the Plate chiller will cool better. at least they are advertised to be better. I use a CFC now that I built from Phills Pieces. In the warmer months when the lake temps rise my counter flow just don't do the job. so for now I...

I fly radio controlled airplanes also, mostly the big ones ( over 6 or 7 ft wings) I also like to fish in lake Erie and many inland lakes in Mich. I also like to shoot my 9MM pistol when I can. I write the Airplane club newsletter and am the secretary of the brew club. and work full time...

Well here is my reply to the latest . I too was in Germany and I too was very drunk but I do remember I never had a Wiesen. I had all pils ( I was in western Germany ) and I still ask for no fruit in my beer. Hell even the Miller light comercials say it's man law no fruit in beer!! Heck they...

I think this is a great idea and I plan on trying it soon . Like some, I'm not sure about giving it to a recovering alcoholic . But I have a freind who for medical reasons can't drink anymore, but he used to brew his own also. He may enjoy this. Some of you have nixed the idea due to it bing...

Heh Fella's check out my local homebrew shop. I doubt you can beat their deals on kegs. http://www.homebrewing.org/
