About 7 years ago I bought a kit, 6gal bucket and 5gal glass carboy etc. and started brewing about every week end, and had a loyal band of beer swillers to help polish of each 5 gallon batch soon after it was ready. This was good because I got a lot of input about what I was doing. In the beginning I used extract with grain adjuncts, and experimented with many different recipes and different hops and yeasts. I brewed most every type of beer except lagers because I did not have a dedicated refrigerator, but that has changed. For a couple years my output was sadly about one keg a month, because I was in Graduate school so time was a little short.
Now I have a house with a dedicated room in the garage. I have been trying to brew every weekend, and have a lot planed for the future. I have been brewing a lot of Belgian and English beers in the summer, and will get back to lagers as winter sets in. Not a long time here in San Diego.
Two four ago, I graduated to All Grain brewing and k - Filling a 55 gallon Brandy Barrel.

The yeast in your RIS might be a bit beat up, if you have enough of the washed yeast I'd go
with them. Can you estimate the yeast count in the rinsed yeast? the should be fine if they

You might want to look around here too, Looks like you might be able to use this set up with a
little modification. you can also find smaller enclosures on ebay for fairly cheap. I'd bet you
could get...Posted in thread: American IPA and WLP002 on 05-16-2013 at 09:37 PM
I cant keep the temp that low now that the hotter weather is here. I wish they would invent a
cooling-belt for my fermenter./carboy.If you can get a keg tub or 32 gallon trash can, put your
carboy in ...Posted in thread: American IPA and WLP002 on 05-16-2013 at 09:09 PM
If you can, give it a big pitch and keep your fermentation temps on the lower end( 1.5X pitch
at 62-64 ferment around 66) . You will not want a lot of fruity esters 002 can kick off in the
beginning o...Posted in thread: Proper Kolsch? on 05-14-2013 at 03:32 PM
What are your SG and FG's?Are you using Kolsh yeast? I find Kolsh yeast and Dusuldorff Alt
yeast both have a distinct flavor profile that is sweet and somewhat full, in that it gives a
perception of a...Posted in thread: Show us your sculpture or brew rig on 05-11-2013 at 10:20 PM

concerned. Spicy ...Posted in thread: Whirlpool Hopping on 05-10-2013 at 03:24 PM
Thanks for the info. One follow up - if I whirlpool at 200F and then allow 20 minutes for
settling, how likely am I to mess up my hop/trub cone by adding my immersion chiller to the pot
to start the c...Posted in thread: Whirlpool Hopping on 05-10-2013 at 02:01 PM
This is a very long thread dedicated to this topic think most of the other comments in your
post are correct about how and when to whirlpool, one thing I would add, is that to reduce
chill haze you w...
