BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I use 5 gallon paint strainer bags as part of a hop spider. I tend to use a lot of hops in the whirlpool/hot stand on my ambers and will place my return in the bag with my hops. That way they get constant agitation. I've gone so far as using this as my only hop addition with great results.
Whoop! Found a hardware supply that has 1/2" lokline in stock locally. New ideas as far as setting up my brew stand. Found some old style ice cube coolers too. The one without the wheels. "Because it's Blue bitches!" 
Need to grab some silicon hose and QD fittings from our local homie at Stainless Fittings. Mentioned that he could be talked into delivering to Fox for a beer and a cigar.

A chugger pump to recirculate the mash would be awesome. I have a buddy that wants to start brewing with me. I am wanting to build a stand with keggles and pumps so we can start pumping out 10gal batches.Whoop! Found a hardware supply that has 1/2" lokline in stock locally.

I do and we will.Chuggers are our friends.
You have room for a stand? We'll talk tomorrow.
I brewed a wheat beer today. Its a recipe I found onlne that the guy called Not Sure Wheat. Its light DME and wheat DME with tettanger hops. I brewed it once before and it was quite good. Next week will be my first BIAB!
Watermelon wheat. Just blended up a melon Thursday and poured it into the fermenter after it had finished up. The extra sugars kicked up the bubbles again. Will keg it in a few days. Last time I brewed this it lasted 4 days and that's with 11 other beers on tap to choose from!
Well, last night I checked it before bed and it had some krausen creeping up a few inches in the blow off tube and I checked agian just now and there seems to be just remnants film form the krasusen in the tube, but it travels up the tbe about six inches last night. With out that tube it could have been disastrous. Thanks all for the headsup on that yeast.
Oh and I dont think any got into by jug that the other end of the blowoff tube is in so didnt get to check the smell.
Yep, I am on the HBT forum as well and I found that by suggestion from BrewinHooligan on this forum. Small world I guess?The Homebrewtalk cigar thread lead me to this site. This is kind of funny but I'll talk cigars on the brewing site, and beer on the cigar site.
Today's brew is a 2 hearted ale clone.

The name was judiciously stolen from one of Cole's comments one day on the cigar thread. Good times there. 
Now Brewinhooligan is getting me tempted to try home rolling.Do you guys have room for one more sweat fat guy?Me too. Kind of moved on from HBT though as my home brewing wained.

Sure. All you have to do is smoke a cigar while brewing outside (if you are able to) on a hot day. Don't forget the hot scotchy too. Very important part of the brew day as well.
