Count me in please! I was just looking at this today!

Haberdasher :cool:

Everything is SOLD! Thanks! Hi, I am selling all of my homebrew equipment. Including a deep freeze and temperature controller. I am asking $600 for everything. I will sell stuff alone for the right price so make me an offer! Here is the full list: -2 books on homebrewing. "How to...

I second Lone Star, but everywhere I buy it in the Dallas area it is as expensive as Shiner or St. Arnold. Where do you find cheap Lone Star other than San Antonio?

As far as good Texas beer goes. I love everything that St. Arnolds makes. You should check them out.

Wow, that sounds just like what happened to me. I think my flame was my problem also. I plan on doing another batch this weekend so I will control the flame a little better and see if that makes a difference. Lane

No, I started the boil with 7 gallons.

I did leave a little behind in the boil kettle, although I don't think it was quite a gallon. Either way if it was a gallon then I still lost 3 gallons in 90 minutes! Will this be corrected by turning down the gas to the burner? Lane

I did actually check the gravity before adding the water and it was 1.064. The recipe was calling for 1.040. The beer is Biermunchers "Cream of three crops ale." So the OG was wayyyy off. After adding the water I was at 1.044. So I felt OK after adding the water. Lane

Thanks for all of the replies. I just bought a Bayou Classic SP-10. Also, a pretty wide Aluminum 10 gal stock pot. I did have the burner cranked pretty high. This was my first use of the pot and burner so I probably had the burner to high. I didn't realize that I could boil off too mych with the...

Hi, first of all All-Grain rocks!:rockin: Today was a blast. Although I had several problems. First of all my IC chiller sprang a leak and shot tap water into the beer. So I took it out fixed it and boiled again for 5 minutes. Is this OK? Then when I finished chilling and transferring...

Thanks for the help Derrin! Now I just have to find another freezer.

Thanks for the info. I figured the freezer was a goner, but not that big of a loss. Quick question, in the instructions for my Ranco, the only setting I can find that is close is for the "Differential Temperature" is this the short cycle delay you are referring to? Thanks, Lane

Also, I plugged the freezer in without the Ranco, and now I only get a clicking noise(no cooling whatsoever). So ,I guess the freezer is dead. Lane

Ok, you totally went over my head! :drunk: I assume you mean changing a setting on the freezer, but this freezer only had a knob that goes from 1-5 (cold-coldest). Or is this a setting on the Ranco? I missed it if it is. Thanks for the help! Lane
