General Homebrew Discussion / wheat help, urgent.

« on: March 09, 2012, 03:12:17 PM »

  I need to get my grain bill to the brewery asap so i can brew a wheat on Monday for a buddy's party then end of the month. I gave one of my laptops to my neice, not thinking that all my software for brewing and recipes were on it. I need a a grain bill for 20 gallons of wheat, I typically go 50/50. Looking to hit around 1050 - 1055. Oh, and maybe some advice on how much hallertau to throw in to reach 15-20 ibu. Mainly bittering. Thanks!

The Pub / Meaningless thread.

We haven't had a good BFI thread in a while, so I figured I would start one. Would you rather wrestle a bear, or kung-fu fight a moose? Keep in mind while making your decision, bears have large claws, however moose have more woodland allies.

  And.........GO!

The Pub / Latest life changing event.

« on: March 02, 2012, 08:06:14 PM »

 A couple weeks ago, I got a tablet. Aseus Iconia, Droid 4.0. This thing is just great. Since I've had it, the only time I touch my laptop, is to pull some music or videos off it to my tab. He battery on this thing is a beast too. I watched a two and a half hour movie, and had 75% life left. Tons of useful brewing apps too. If any of you are thinking of pulling the trigger on one, do it! You will not be sorry. Got a steal on mine on Amazon. This particular one is cool, cause it has a USB and micro SD slot. Also has HDMI out, which is really cool to stream stuff I download, or YouTube, or Netflix to the big screen. So, again, if you've been putting getting one off, do it. The Weaze give it two snaps in "Z" formation.

The Pub / Another book thread

« on: December 11, 2011, 01:08:43 PM »

Been awhile since I asked what everyone is reading these days. So, what is it?
  I just got started on John Sanford's "Prey" series. So far, so good.

The Pub / Have to vent....

« on: December 09, 2011, 01:51:20 PM »

 I HATE those friggen tire preassure light they put on cars! All they do is freak women out! I swear at least once a month I get a frantic call from Holly, pretty much pulled of the side of the road cause the tire preassue light came on. Seriously, what moron needs a light to tell him the tires are low?Any responsible vehicle owner checks that on the reg. Preassure fluctuates with temperature. Not to mention her Trailblazer has aluminum rims which are know to loose air. I curse GM everyday of my life for those things!!!

I was digging around over at TBN, and found this little gem. Anyone else who has a brewery computer might like. I have not used it yet, but it looks really sweet!!

Equipment and Software / Heat stick

« on: November 30, 2011, 04:54:01 PM »

I'm sitting here at my bar looking at my indoor electric turkey fryer when it hits me..........All that element is, is a 110v heat stick. It'll bring 3 gal of oil to 400* in about an hour. So why shouldn't it bring 8 gal of strike water to 165 or so in that same hour? Who here uses a 110v heat stick to heat strike water? What size element are you using, and what kind of times and temps are you getting? Thanks!

The Pub / Brewery / bar done!!

« on: November 26, 2011, 09:05:29 PM »

 For now....It's all ready for me to brew in. I'm on hold now till I get some more funds. Here's the thus far finished product. Kinda hard to get pics of, due to it being not a real big space. Hopefully tomorrow, I'll get a counter top, and sink in. Maybe even get a burner mounted.
