Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk I've never made it but I have helped a buddy a few times and from what I gather cleanliness is of the utmost importance. He's turned out some pretty good stuff to, not just drinkable but actually enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yep, it's not hard to find people who are willing to try your beer. My Mr. Beer stuff turned out okay, but it has a strange taste in it. I think it's from the sanitizer, but I'm not sure. My first "real" batch will be going into bottles very soon, and I've got high expectations for it. Regardless, as pointed out, sanitation is very important. It's one thing that can completely ruin the whole batch, so the risk-to-rewards ratio of taking shortcuts in that area isn't very favorable. The only other tip I have so far is to walk through the whole process step-by-step ahead of time to make sure you've got a good idea what you're doing and to make sure you have all of the equipment that you'll need on hand. If you've made wine before you should have a pretty good grasp of the process already. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Making beer at home Rule #1: Your first batch won't be very good. Step 2: Enjoy your crappy beer. after all, its still beer. C. Try again. If you can make it to a second batch, you will end up making some good beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sounds good, I am pretty careful, I will be using heat rather than spray sanitizer. I have a 20qt pot and tube style wort chiller. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have been using a sulfate solution, I sanitize everything that touches the beer in any way with that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Just ordered a ton of maintenance items for my coupe to get it running perfect=) I can almost guarantee the fuel filter hasn't ever been changed in all 220,000 miles...

HipMF Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Ben took one of his cars to an actual event! *cough*onatrailer*cough* Yay Ben! Also, due to deteriorating ice conditions and getting to run before the AWD cars, I was able to post the fastest time fo a non-studded car. yay me!

Earl Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 So was Ben studded or was the e34 really faster than his snow munching machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 His.. er... "vehicle" has mud/all-terrain tires, which aren't very good on ice. The welded diff also makes it a challeng to corner. It would be interesting to see how well it would do in a dirt rallyx... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tires are great in snow, but are not quite as good as true snow tires on ice. The welded diff makes it extremely interesting when letting off the gas at all. Immediate "oversteer". Rally-X will be interesting in it, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 You might be right. I doubt too many purist would "crap their khakis "over a 928. It's still cool to see something local on Jalopnik though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I've know the Feras for awhile. I think the car is pretty cool, but equally impressive is them doing everything themselves (and quite well I may add). Some of the details of the car are done really well and says a lot for their age/experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I find it annoying that a business in this day and age - doesn't provide a confirmation email, tracking, receipt.... Anything. Its not a "big deal", just annoying as a consumer. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
