Re: Meet me for a Drink!

Anyone up for Steamhaus at Dos Lagos in Corona tonight? Checked it out the other day, and they had some pretty good beers on tap and in bottles. I should be there around 6:30-7

Re: Bitch's Brew and Padron serie 1926 #9

Nice review. Like brahn, I am not a big fan of DFH beers, but I may have to give this one a try based solely on your review. I don't have the Bitch's Brew album, but I do have Kind of Blue, so that will have to do. Kind of Blue works too, or since we are both in Corona, perhaps we can finally get t...

Re: Bitch's Brew and Padron serie 1926 #9

Great review! I saw Bitches Brew at Total Wine but I steered clear of it due to my past experiences with DFH's beers. Maybe I should reconsider. Have you had the Sah'tea, Theobroma, Red & White, Namaste, My Antonia, 120, Worldwide Stout? I have had Sah'tea, Red & White, and Namaste. Nothing...

Re: Cleaning and Passivation

Ya, that is what i think too. I figured all that swirling of hot PBW should do a pretty good job at cleaning.

Bitch's Brew and Padron serie 1926 #9

This past weekend i was lucky enough to find a bottle of Bitch's Brew by Dogfish Head at TotalWine in Tustin. I was excited to finally find a bottle, as I have always loved jazz, and the thought of the two coming together intrigued me. I ran home like a giddy school girl and put on the Bitch's brew ...

Re: Cleaning and Passivation

What about kegs, just hot PBW? I built an auto washer for my kegs, but never know if i should do a bit more. The beer always turns out well, so it must be getting a good clean. I just do hot PBW through a 1/2 HP pump up the sanke shaft and out the gas-in. The pump heats up the 7g bucket of water nic...

Re: Cleaning and Passivation

Ya the elbow grease is just not getting it these days in the boil kettle. I need to get some scorches out from the mashtun when a friend tried to step mash, and forgot for a little too long. :roll: Sounds good Derrin. I will have to hit you up. I still have that gift card somewhere, from last years ...

Cleaning and Passivation

Hello all! I just want to ask what other people are using for cleaning their brew system? Right now I have a 2 tier setup, and when i am done brewing, I give it a quick rinse down and light scrub with a brush. I then heat up some PBW in the HLT and run it through my pumps, mash, boil kettle, and cou...

Re: Makeshift freezer glycol system

Ya gotta play with the sides vs. the door ideas.

Just don't know if a little aquarium pump would do the job? Thought that a pond pump would heat up too much.

Right now only 2 are running, one is sitting there, and one is a NFG big snapple fridge. ..maybe i should trade one of them out for a chest freezer. hmmmm. anyway...

Re: Motorized Grain Mill completed

Where did you get the motor? That seems to be the only problem I am having. Did you worry about the combustible dust? Did you gear it down or pulleys?

Re: Meet me for a Drink!

Thinking about hitting up Newport Beach Brew Co. after work. If anyone happens to be around that area.
