Hey David, I know you hung your light. So did I, Sunday night. What did you do with the extra wire? Cut it? Did you put a piece of metal where its cut? I tied mine around for now till I know WTF to do with it....Beer looks good :eek:

Nevermind, Just looked through your thread and followed the other thread. Now I know, glad I didnt cut it. Beer is still good. Thanks to this site my f ups have been limited. Thanks!

Here's a phone pic of the brew today, a nice amber lager. :)

Trust me, my homebrew system is MUCH smaller... 5 gal. ;)

Here is some of my unorganized homebrew crap

The all too important homebrew dispensing system, my keezer (aka kegerator made out of a freezer). :wub:

A fellow homebrewer...do you do extract or all grain? I constantly have 15g in 3 different carboys going...very partial to belgian brews. You can go to the store and buy (depending on where you live) 3.2-5.9 abv beer that tastes like crap or you can brew your own "real beer". I dont think I own a beer below 8.0abv and I average 9.5. I do have a Lord Fatbottom that had 18lbs of dme in a 5g batch. Total brew time 1 month in primary 11 months in secondary I look forward to cracking a bottle open in another year its abv is 13.5 approx.

 

I cant have one of those in my house, I wouldnt leave ;) Nice set up, sorta looks like illegal moonshining...lol

 

your allowed to brew like 150 gallons of beer for personal use per year.....you just cant sell it or its a federal offense. :D

Glad you didn't cut it too bro!

 

Love your "other" tank. I definitely couldn't ever have one of those. I'd never leave the house. Way too tempting.

Thanks!

I still do extract... I try and have 2 5g batches going at a time, but it doesn't always work out that way!

I love high ABV beers as well... I'm also a huge hop head! The hoppier the better!!!

I have a Barley Wine conditioning now that should come in around 12-13%, if I can hold off from sneaking into it before it's time!!! :angry::haha:

:MOAR BEER:

 

Spiced Holiday Ale fermenting in the primary, with a blow off tube for the first day or two. I didn't need the blow off this time, but I had an "incident" a while back, so now I always use one! Switched to a airlock today. I normally ferment in the spare bathroom, but this time I'm using my office because I can control the temp in there better.

The Kegerator I made... Hold 2 five gallon kegs. Excuse the messy garage! -_-

Thanks bro! I would love to send you some beer. The only thing is, I don't bottle it, so that makes it tough!!!

I've never shipped coral... But I have shipped beers!!! :lol: Beer swap anyone??? :D

 

On a side note... I went to get twenty gallons of water today for the new tank, but when I pull in the parking lot, I realized my LFS is closed on Thursdays!!!

since you said back to beer... I've browsing the internet for DIY on an all grain setup and though I have never brewed my own I don't feel like starting off with extract. I mean I work in a medical laboratory I think I should be able to handle brewing...? I hope! LOL

 

And on a further note I just picked up a 4-pack of Sam Smith Imperial Stout! And I must say, YUM! I'm a sucker for dark beers, any suggestions on my next try? I saw one that looked good(~16 ABV), but at $9 a 12oz I had to pass. Maybe I'll brew something like that! Well back to my beer!

:happydance: Hope you find something great, and GET BREWING!!!

 

I've never had the SSIS, I'll have to try it!

 

Where are you located? I'm not really sure what to recommend? I love high ABV, and tons of hops!!!

Sorry 'bout the glare... I think I have all the rock in there that I want...

Sure as hell wasn't as "ZEN" as I had hoped for. Oh well...
