Theoretically this would be no different than pouring trub and all into a primary. Guess it purely depends on ones view of how trub changes the flavor profile. I don't really see a problem with it at all. I would definitely transfer to a priming tank through a cheese cloth or other filter if you are...

You can't say root beer. Carbonated soda beverages are also illegal. Suspended yeast solution and bbq sauce are the best option. Labels are not necessary, just claim what you want them to think on the shipping form. I'm also pretty sure that these are federal laws, and not just USPS rules, so FedEx ...

I would be interested, but not until after the new year. It is sometimes tricky to get brews shipped in the US though. A friend of mine got fined on his third attempt to send a box (it failed the ship the first two). He managed to get out of the fine because he had used a fake name on the return add...

Tasted for the first time last night. It was good, but didn't have the huge chocolate finish I was hoping for. Oh well, it is still a very flavorful stout with an aroma of chocolate and a hint of mint. I ended up adding 4 oz. of Malto Dextrin with the priming sugar as well since it was a tad on the ...

I found this one which would work great I think: http://www.amazon.com/Masterbuilt-20011210-Electric-Butterball-Digital/dp/B003XJGE3W/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1291904769&sr=8-7 I'm waiting for a response from the manufacturer to see what the adjustable temperature range is and how many gallons of liqu...

Electric Urn

I've been looking for a large, variable temperature vessel that can handle somewhere between a 3-5 gallon BIAB session. However it appears that US consumers are not too keen on electric "urns" as they are referred to by most non-US brewers. Do any of you other US brewers have one, and if so where di...

Nerd spew to follow :geek: : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Gallic_acid.svg Booo, image doesn't work. Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gallic_acid.svg This is the basic unit of tannins and will be rather water soluble. I'm guessing this has a pKa somewhere arou...

Now, what is some random sugar source that I can attempt to incorporate into my next beer... Haha, I did use homemade invert sugar in my holiday red ale :) You asked for it ... .. the urine from a diabetic person. :party: Sorry for going off-topic Haha... might work out considering I am a type 1 di...

I brew because it is fun, addictive, and the results are amazing.... Actually, if it weren't for the discovery of this forum, I probably would have eventually grown tired of brewing... Always love reading your posts SS. Can you comment more on your reasoning for the latter bit I quoted above. You h...

I brew because it is fun, addictive, and the results are amazing. I'm totally enthralled with both learning more about traditional brewing, experimenting with flavors, and thinking of completely unnecessary ways to make BIAB more complicated through overly engineered toys (though this definitely ups...

Well, since I've been absent from the site for a few weeks, thought I would throw an update on here. I still have the choco stout in the secondary aging, and it tastes really good. The coffee flavors from the barley and chocolate malt have started to shine through along with the chocolate finish. Th...

I've often thought about this. If you find a SS mesh that may work make sure to post some links. My idea (which I copied from somewhere else... can't find the link) was cutting the bottom out of a 3-4 gal bucket and replacing it with the mesh (and most likely reinforce it with two crossed solid stee...

You'll like what I am about to say next Bob as it makes perfect scientific sense if you are aware of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle which basically says that the observer of an experiment affects the outcome of the experiment... "Once you have done a few brews, you never get a boil-over. They a...
