How much malt have you successfully mashed in a ten gal cooler? I am planning a Wee Heavy and am worried about space. Maybe just do two mashes? Thanks

Good thoughts, I didn't think about the volume of the cake. Anybody reused the same cake more than a few times?

Is there a lifespan for one yeast cake? I am talking about theoretically brewing say once a week and pitching onto the same yeast cake again and again. How many batches would be appropriate assuming that the recipe was the same each time? Problems?

Thanks, good info. I am going to use the 2 keggles for HLT and Brew pot. That way I can phase out my turkey fryers and upgrade to 10gal batches at the same time! Now I am researching fittings.

Thanks for that link, it will definetly help with the apperance. Can that process be used for the inside of the kegs? Or should I just try to clean the inside as best I can and call it good?

I recently recieved two "keggles" from a friend. His co-worker began to convert the kegs, apparently gave up, and let them sit outside for a long time before they got to me. They are in rough shape, and now I am wondering what can be done to spuce them up. The tops have been cut... er...

Went to school at UWGB and Titletown Brewing was the best place to enjoy a quality beer IMHO. They have a nice area upstairs for pool and shuffleboard.

I went to school at UWGB and found some micros that were great. My personel favorite was Slab City. Tasty stuff. Grizz2534- We have a bunch of great breweries around that in my opinion are much better than Lienies. What style of brew are you looking for? Here's a little proof that I...

I used to drink the yeast, but it gave me increadibly bad gas.

That's a good point. There's a good chance for some chill haze but I really don't know what to expect. That could end up being the least of my worries. We will find out though!

It is still in the brewpot with the lid on. I hope it turns out as well, but if it doesn't then I have a reason to brew again real soon. At least that will be whta I tell SWMBO;)

Very true, but I also mentioned that I brewed two batches, so I have a porter in the primary. And who here doesn't enjoy an evening spent on a brew session having a few cold ones?

Well, it was still warm (I could have run the chiller real quick) but I figured what the hell. If the beer turns out ok, then I have increased my knowledge of an unfermented beers capablities. And if the beer mutates into an infected monster, then I have increased my knowledge of an...

I did it for a couple reasons. Most importantly, it got LATE and I needed to get up early for work. Also, I thought it might be something different to try. I left the lid on and intend to pitch when I get home tonight. I was a little nervous at first but then I figured that it really...
