• 30 Mar 2009 /  Beer, Home Brew, all grain

    So i decided to give all grain a try. Picked up 2 kegs from craigslist (one bud, one coors). After cutting the tops with an angle grinder with stainless steel discs i decided to see if they fit on my hurricane burner (a bit late i know). Well the bud keg fit great, but the inside diameter of the coors was 1/8″ too small and would be unstable. Lucky for me another local homebrewer was looking to go all grain as well and the coors keg fit on his burner. So i am still looking for 1 more keg before i do my 1st all grain batch.

    I needed to query my results to a text file. Using xp_cmdshell i was able to accomplish it very quickly.

    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell’bcp “SELECT *  FROM yourdatabase.dbo.yourtable” queryout “c:\test.sql” -c -T -x’
