You guys are making me feel good! If this batch turns out good ya never know, I may add starsan to the grain bill!! Lol!

Man, you guys are the best! I've been so aggravated with myself. If ever in New Orleans drop me a line and we share a cold one.

I'm not positive, but pretty sure I forgot to dump out the quart of starsan I poured into my corny that I use as a secondary. I know I could have trouble carbonating. Is that true? Can anyone inform me of other issues? I am an experienced all grain brewer, but I was rushing and had my head up...

I'm looking for some insight. I live in New Orleans and have fallen vicitim to Hurricane Isaac. I have been without electricity for 3 days. I am lucky enough to have 2 chest freezer fermentation chambers. I was lagering in one for the past 2 weeks and had an ale in secondary at 68F. Now...

I am finishing up my DIY Stir Plate. Everything works great, with one exception. When the fan spins the stir bar, the stir bar stands on end. The magnet used is a block magnet from home depot. Plenty strong. Pulls the bar to where ever I hold the magnet . I was wondering, is the magnet...

Thanks Troub. I will try that. What is odd is when held side by side they look the same size. On yotube the videos never show that happening and I used 16gram as instructed.

I am soooo!! AMPED!! I hit the SG on my first crack at Lagering. The recipe called for 1.012 and I hit it!! When I tasted the beer when transfering i was so good I could have drank it without carbonation. Freakin Awsome!!!

I have completed 5 all grain brews and each time I heated my strike water to 163-168. The problem is when I added it to the tun and added the grain the temp never dropped more than a degree or 2. It's a 5 gal. round Igloo with a false bottom. As a result my mash temps are much higher than the...

Sorry to say it but it's because it's a Mr. Beer Kit. Been there, done that. I'm rollin now with an assortment of brewing tools.

Well Lady Fermentation I'm in NOLA too. Got Belgian Wheat and A Irish Red Ale in Primary and A Amber Ale and A Heiniken Clone in bottles.
