that is a really good idea. I am not sure why i have not thought of that myself. I am a hop head and have been spending way too much money on hops and by just reusing the dry hops i might save some money.

just over two weeks old and I can't wait for this beer to be done. The first few days were full of STRONG fermentation. The dry hops do look to be a bit excessive and i am contemplating toning it down just a little.

there is a place called do your brew up off of highway 36 and Sheridan. The guys prices are a rip off but he is open 7 days a week.

so are they not going to serve this is Colorado? Can i get it at the NB brewery?

I have a cheap $7 one from my LHBS and it rocks. I have never had an issue. I guess you just need to be smarter than the plastic.

that is so cool i really do hope things work out and if i am ever in Virginia (the odds are I won't) i will have to try one of your brews.

i use 180,000 for my 20 gal batches... tears through gas at the start but gets the water heated up fairly quickly

i brewed a 'special' batch the other day for the Red Rocks shows...good times will be had...

made this yesterday it is going to be good

i made my first AG today as well and everything turned out really really well. I was really really close to hitting my target OG as well. I am happy I am doing AG now and have a feeling that I will never do an extract batch ever again.

i did about 1.50 today for a IIPA and everything turned out exactly as planned. I think (at least for this style) I am going to continue using this ratio.

Southern Sun/Mountain sun are a really cool places. Great beer and fun environment. The Mountain Sun and The Southern Sun Brewery and Restaurant in Boulder Colorado

i ended up with a 180,000 BTU burner. I am sure this will be plenty and i will probably fly through gas.

I am looking at an outdoor burner for an all grain setup and have seen burners that range from 55,000 btu's all the way up to 200,000 btu. I am planning on doing 5-10 gallon batches outside and am wondering what the minimum BTU's i should look for when purchasing my outdoor burner. thanks.
