• Posted in thread: How does a cooler mash tun work? on 03-16-2011 at 03:47 AM
  I'm with hamiltont on this one. I used Don Osborn's website to build my mash tun for less than
  30 or 40 bucks and it's been a champ. High fives to the guys who can afford to all the nice
  stuff, but th...

• Posted in thread: Question - modified biab or convert my 5 gallon cooler? on 01-24-2011 at 07:19 PM
  I went from using a bag in my cooler to a conversion. It's this: cheap, easy and improved my
  efficiency. Honestly, I just went with the minor upgrade because I got tired of holding the
  spigot button...

  Haven't even heard about this, but I'm a huge fan of the mocha porter. Can't wait! I hope it
  makes its way to AZ.

  Wish I could help you there. I've never brewed a beer with that high of a gravity. Mine has an
  OG of about 1.045. However, last time I used nottingham, (1 gallon all grain parter) the
  noticeably activ...

  Hot damn. Less than 48 hours and the active fermentation really slowed down. Yeasties really
  ripped through it. I'll probably take my first gravity reading in a week or so, but I've never
  had such a f...

  Awesome! So I'm definitely going to go with the frozen bottle method until I can either fix
  this fridge or buy another for cheap. Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to freeze some
  bottles and see ...

  Whew! That's a load off guys. I know it was at least five hours before becoming active. Thanks
  for the replies. I will give it an extra week in the primary just to be sure.

  Holy crap dude! That is awesome :)

  Hi guys. I have a completely broken fridge I'd like to turn into a fermentation chamber.
  Ideally, I could do this without the use of costly electronics (or any at all). Would a few
  frozen jugs in the ...

  So I pitched some Nottingham yeast dry into wort that was 80-82 degrees last night. When I woke
  up this morning fermentation was in full swing. By the time I got home from work is was going
  nuts and t...
