NB Rack Magic
« on: February 01, 2016, 11:35:42 pm »
I don't like the "accept no cheap imitations" line at the end. Comes off quite prickish.

I bet they already have a BrewEasy knockoff waiting for the patent expiration.

Cheesey yes, but on the other hand, I am on my 3rd of the "cheap imitation" one in just over a year.  They do spontaneously develop cracks.

I went through three as well, though one was pitched because I was never satisfied that it was cleaned enough after touching an infected beer.

That being said, a stainless racking cane and some carboy caps are IMO the best way to go if using carboys.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.

I just got my son one of NBA 1 gal starter kits for his birthday.  Interesting that they put a cheap imitation in that and I am pretty sure their 5 gal kits have the cheap imitation kind as well

Edit:  NB not NBA.  I really don't care for basketball that much.

I agree. I didn't buy an auto siphon until I started brewing small batches.
