Thanks for the responses, I will mash it uncrushed

Dumb question I know. I've never used this in a recipe and I'm not sure if you mash as is or crush it. Thanks.

I spent a good deal of time trying to find deals to piece one together and could never make the numbers work. In the end, buying it all together was the best option. I'm really pleased with what I got from Keg Connection. Good quality and fast shipment.

"If you take a mormon fishing, make sure that you take two. If you take one, they'll drink all of your beer. If you take two, neither one will drink at all because they're both so scared that the other one will tell on him." Coincidentally, that was told to me by two different mormons during...

2 Keg Basic Keg Kit, Dispenses two kegs at once! (Separate Check Valves!) This is a two keg system for $208. Obviously you'd have to pay shipping but you get double the pleasure, double the fun. The single keg system is $158 I believe. By the time you pay shipping it would probably be a wash.

I'm off Johnson Road, between Five Forks Trk. and Lawrenceville Hwy...which is not far from Sugarloaf Pkwy.

I probably won't be able to make it on the 17th, (but just out of curiosity how long will you be at the store that evening?) Meeting up Saturday is more than likely what I'd have to do.

I'm sure this question has been answered already but...can you add gelatin to the primary or is it best suited for a secondary?

I said 2 or 3 but I'll go ahead and make it a firm 3. I can help with picking some up from wherever they land and hold them at my house in Lawrenceville for others to pick up if needed.

I mashed at 152. And according to Beersmith the IBU is around 37. (This was for the A.G. batch)

So I've had three high F.G.'s in a row. The first two were partial mash kits that finished about 6 points too high and tasted terribly malty! (yeast was white labs with starters) The third was my first A.G. and like a lot of others I used Ed Wort's H.P.A. It finished at 1.014. Not as bad...

I just did my first AG yesterday. I used a 70 qt. Coleman Extreme that I already had. Made a 1/2" CPVC Manifold and it worked extremely well. I lose about 10 degrees from my strike water from the cooler absorbing it so I just factor that in. Once I did that it came down to my proper strike temp...

I never repitched...I was going to when I found that the cream ale was the same f.g. Thanks for the advice.

So this is getting strange and a bit irritating! Two months ago I made a Porter that was suppost to end up at 1.012 and it stalled at 1.018. After rousing the yeast back into suspension and it doing nothing I decided to take the advice of waiting and repitching onto another yeast cake. The...

Whatever your wallet can handle my friend. Just to praise them....I ordered last tuesday and it shipped on wednesday got it on monday. Everything I ordered was packaged well and in good condition. I've tested everything and it's all in great working order!!
