Never finished the post because the page reloaded a couple time while I tired to type! lol Anyway, I wanted to ask wepeeler what condo association would pay for inside unit work?? It’s not like a rental, you own your unit.

I know it’s not the primary topic, but I’m curious. I own a 1 bdrm condo and have lived here (and brewed!) for 8 years. I’ve been involved with my condo board, ran and lost in an election and, sorry to say, pay $600/month in dues. It pays for NOTHING

It also the cut Zac Econ had in the High School Musical movies.

Exactly -- Got a Wilser Bag for my M&B and I've had some fine crushes with no issues.

The service you received is not acceptable. However, the last post previous to yours is last August, telling me NB must’ve resolved some issues, so at this point we have no reason to believe they’re back to the rash of customer service and shipping issues that went on for some time. Fingers crossed.

I’ve lived in a small 1 bedroom condo for 8 years now and a smallish kitchen. I bought a portable 1800W induction cooktop for $50 ( maybe $100-ish now), placed it on the ceramic cooktop of my electric arove and brewed 5G batches in an 8G with a ball valve and built-in thermometer. I wrapped...

I’ve got one similar to post #5 and love it. My daughter gave it to me at Christmas maybe 5 years ago so that’s 1/2 the reason I like it. The finish is great — very tight grain and cleans up nicely with a hot water rinse.

I think this is true depending…. If you’re a high volume brewer, entertain, etc., sure. I brew for myself, 5 gallon batches, and do not share much so bottling is fine — I have a process in place and it’s only 50 bottles. Some of us have limited space so that’s a factor. Mini kegs would maybe be...

I started inside with 5 gallon batches using an 1800 watt portable induction cooktop with an 8 gallon SS kettle. I mashed in a 10 gallon Igloo Cooler. My condo electric stove was not adequate but I could use the stove top to place the induction cooker on so I could use that space. 1800 watts...

Brewing beer is a hobby some initially get excited about but when they get into it, they find it takes time, trial and error and, well, work (IMO). I think some people get very excited then quickly lose interest - not unusual for some when it comes to any new hobby. The Anvil appears to me to be...

I’ve had the same concern with large grain bills on my M&B. Just my opinion, but I haven’t found a couple of pounds of DME to be detrimental but understand your taste could be more discerning than mine.

You can brew 1800W induction easily for those batch sizes. I used a portable 1800W induction unit with an 8 gallon kettle to boil 6 gallons. I wrapped the kettle in Reflectix.

IMO, 5.5 days in the fermenter isn’t just a bit too early, it’s way too early. Many here say at least 2 weeks and I’ve found sometimes there’s activity beyond that. My last batch, I saw airlock activity at 11 days and decided to give it 3 but ended up at 4 weeks.
