I'm from Ottawa

Thanks for all of your help guys. I am getting into all grain and designing a brew rig just want to do all of me research before I go out and buy.

Can someone please explain what the purpose of the top curved pipe is for

Not in any order Odell 5 barrel pale ale Odell levity Grolsch New Belgium fat tire Stella Artois Honorable mentions Sam Adams Octoberfest and winter lager Draft heinekin

I've been thinking about going the same route. Hopefully we get some advice.

What do you mean when you say cold crash?

Ok thank you that's what I was thinking it meant.

Can someone explain to me exactly what "no sparge" means. Thanks. I'm fairly new and just picking up as I go.

The one on the left is the first batch in the secondary dry hopping it was a little lighter before I added the hops. It started out the same color as the one on the right. That's day 6 of fermenting on the right.

Well it was still bubbling put the krausen ring was settled. The second batch still has its ring on top. It was an extract kit.

I brewed two batches of 5 barrel pale ale (a week apart) the second batch is now on its 6th day in the primary and still fermenting. The first batch is dry hopping in a secondary. The first batch finished fermenting 3 days after being out in the primary. It is also quit a bit darker. Any reasons...

When doing a one gallon batch do you use a one gallon jug as a primary? Is there enough room left for fermentation? Do you use a blow off tube? Lastly do you rack to a secondary?

I'm thinking about getting a 3 gallon for primary, and 1 gallon for a secondary to make 1 gallon batches. I am wanting to do this for r&d for my own recipes. This way i'm not wasting a lot of beer and money if it doesn't turn out right or needs to be tweaked. Anyone else do this?

I added up everything from NB and Austin including shipping and Austin was 13 dollars cheaper.
