and the instructions on their site for all the different brews have tons of detail, such as temps and times, and MOPs.

Celica what's your suspension set up like?

during all-grain brewing you initially heat about... 6 gallons of water to a specific temp... i want to say 180ish... but i don't all-grain brew just yet so i'm not 100% positive

once you get the water to temp you pour it over cracked barley in, usually, a cooler. since its insulated it'll hold temp longer. the temp will come down like 10 degrees and you hold it there for half an hour i believe. this converts the starch in the barley to sugar for the yeast to use.

next you boil the liquid in the cooler for a bit to sterilize the liquid and add hops at the right times. then you've got to drop the temp suddenly for the cold break.

add to a fermenter, pitch yeast and wait

thats it in a nut shell from someone who has assisted with all-grain brewing, but not done it. I don't want to deal with 15lbs of spent grain on the 8th floor...

yea it looks like a good simple starter kit, and glass seems much better than those cheese plastic brown barrels or the 5 gallon spackle bucket.

make sure you shoot some of those deer too!

there are some bread recipes online too to use that spent grain with.

i can only imagine the trash bag full of grain busting open as i'm walking down the hall to the trash chute... or it ripping open on the trash chute b/c the metal it all banged up

I have the ford racing c springs. I'd like to get the back end to sit a little lower then it does now. I know some guys will cut a half a coil out of the springs but IDK about that.

careful with glass... it likes to crack when you're attempting to gently put down 5 gallons of liquid lol...

I cut a coil in my camaro's stock springs, but those have a lot more give to them.

Well I was talking to a guy with a cobra at the one meet, and he said at the bottom of the spring they are double stacked, like two coils...and thats what he cut. It looked really good on his car
