I've been instructed on the opposite. You want to move water through the ic very slowly, because faster moving water will flow through without fully transferring heat.

But.. in the last 12 months the local area has welcomed 3 new breweries. It'll be exciting to watch them grow.

I concur, with reservation. While i agree the 1888 is a standout, I thought the problem with the hefe and brown or whatever was they tasted too similar to it. I came to the conclusion they have a strong house flavor that only works well for the steam beer. Very nutty and sweet.

So I bought an I.c. ob Craigslist last week, and I was amazed at how innefective it was. Yeah. 212 to 120 was like 10-20 min. But 100-70 was like 2 hours. Wtf

Ummm. I don't really get it. I mean I see how it works, I just think its solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Oh Scott there's a beer w ur,name,on it at ootp.

I didn't know u were on here Rick

7 always sounds like a good time. My company has a customer like 4 miles from there. Ive been the one going to do the monthly service lately. Last Month I went to stone on the way home. The month before it was pizza port. This month if I go ill try alpine. I don't even think I've had any of their be...

@rico not mt idea. It's already up at ootp and bruery and I wanna say one or two other places. I think ill start it up tonight

No pizza for you?

Maybe we should start using the brew it forward boards I keep seeing. Have you tripped on these? You buy a beer for a friend who's not there. Then the bartender writes his name on the chalkboard and he can claim it when he comes next time. It'd be sweet to show up and have a free beer waiting on you...

I think alpine is far...like so far he was joking

Checked it out. Alpine is way down by el Cajon. The good news is el Cajon is the city I've been getting sent to once a month lately.

Thinkin bout going to out of the park tomorrow night. For those of you who don't know, it's a cool pizza sports bar kind of place w 33 good beers on tap. Thursday is homebrew night. They encourage homebrewers to bring an ice chest to the bar and share your beers around. Dan is a homebrewer himself, ...

Lol a bit hoochy is a good way to describe the brewfooery style. No, I haven't started playing w software yet

Maybe I should dial it back to 1 1/2 lb. And/or switch to a high gravity yeast.
