You guys every do anything to boost the ABV of your beer before, during or after fermentation?

Fixed the formatting in your post... For those who are a little lazy here is some of the info from their post. Earlier today I spent some time visiting with the family and experienced firsthand some of the emotional and financial hardships that have come about as a result of this unfortunate accident. I immediately felt compelled to help this family and I am hoping you do as well. To put it plainly, I am calling on you as sportsmen, community members and parents to please make a donation to this family. I am asking you to consider a $20 donation but would appreciate any amount you are comfortable with. Checks can be made out to: Felicite Calabrese You can mail the check to: Doreen Knowles PO box 530 High Falls NY 12440 Please include your name and phone # or HVS username. More Details The child’s name is David and he resides in Walden with his mother, step-dad and two sisters. He is the oldest of the children with his sisters being six(6) and two(2) years of age.. On December 14, 2010, Ron visited with his mother during his normal course of business. He conveyed to me that the financial situation facing this family could use some help, from hudsonvalleysportsman.com and any others who are willing to get involved. Mom is presently out of work caring for her son and their family car appears to be in the need of repairs and not to mention that Christmas is right around the corner. Her concern is that this unfortunate accident will take its toll in many ways. The associated physical and mental stress, as well as the financial hardships they face, will totally dampen the “Christmas Spirit.” In speaking with David’s mother it looks as if David will be hospitalized until after the Holidays and it is about an hour’s drive each way from their home in Walden to the hospital. Although this was David’s first year being involved with the deer drive he totally enjoys hunting and plans on getting more involved as he grows up. Mom says all her kids have been around guns and understand the safety issues associated with them. Our thoughts and prayers are with this family during the Holidays and hopefully we can encourage our members to do the same and open their hearts and purses to a family that is in need.

I bought that star-san stuff too so I can clean / san right before I use it. I been watching some video's and it seems that's what most people do, keep a bucket of the sanitizer and dip / soak the stuff in it right before you use it. I think I might skip secondary racking and leave it in the primary for longer... It seems a lot of people do that, and prefer it that way. Plus it eliminates the chances of contamination. Have you ever had an infected batch? If so did you still rack it?

Turkey fryer works right? I got the wort chiller, it was on my wish list.

Hah

Depends what kind of plot you want to do. Spring, Summer, Fall, etc..

No scope on mine this year either, I have one, but no time to sight in a scope. All I know its going to be freezing in the woods this weekend. More then likely I'll be walking rather then sitting this weekend. Good luck!

I guess its a good thing I have all my stuff being delivered to work
