    I brewed a Robust Porter and decided to enter it into my first competition. Can't believe it ... I got second place. Wasn't really expecting to place, just wanted to get some feedback. Had to wait 2 long days to get the results back. Felt like forever. So I got a ribbon on the way with some critique sheets.

    Man, this is a great feeling.

    Congratulations chefchris. I'll be running the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition next year at the end of February. I'll post the info for entries if you're interested.

    Wow, definately nice to see some avid homebrewers. I have a Scottish 60 shilling ale in the primary currently, but it has not been very active. I'm going to give it another day or so then I'm gonna hit it with some more yeast to hopefully recover it. On deck I have a London Pub Brown and I'd like to make an IPA after that.

    I'm lazy and primarily do extract brewing, I have done all-grain in the past and while the product was great it was more effort than I was looking for. I also have a Sears "Water" Distiller sitting around to put those sub-par batches to better use. I used soda kegs in college and those were by far the easiest method, I'm back to bottling now while I decide if I want to re-plumb my kegerator to handle a third tap type. Do they make beverage grade quick-disconnects? How much impact would that have on carbonation/flow?

    They make QDs for both Pepsi (ball lock cornys) and Coke (pin lock cornys) or are you looking for a QD to switch from a Sanke to a corny?

    hop pellets and a strong brew. Nice.

    I'm moving to the 6 gallon carboys and 7 gallon buckets. I like my beer strong but I need the 5 gallon volume.

    That's my first 10 gallon batch. I did my Phantom Planet Porter (Robust Porter) again. If you'll remember that's the award winning brew. I even got to show a guy off my homebrew board the ropes of all grain brewing.

    Looks like it's time to employ a blow-off tube.
    Congratulations.
