    ABOUT ME

  • Brewing,Snowboarind,Computer Programming,Traveling,Turntables
  • In early 2011, A friend and I dreamed of one day brewing our own beer. By late 2011 we put our pennies to good use and bought a Ale Pale kit through an online site. Our first brew was done on the side burner of a grill. New and naive to brewing, we forged on to a tasteful Pale Ale. rn rnSince then, we have upgrade to a glass primary carboy, as well as a 5 gallon glass secondary. We have also invested in a outdoor burner and started doing full 5 gallon boils. rnIn the beginning of 2012, I started working on DIY projects. I built a MLT, bought a bigger kettle, built a stir plate and made the jump to all grain. rnHomebrewing is one of my favorite hobbies, I love every detail about it. I love researching and reading on all things from the chemistry of the mash to different DIY projects. I'm always looking for ways to improve my brewing.

    I haven't seen a thread like this, forgive me if it's already posted. I'm big on a nice pic of
    a full glass, but a nice empty with a good lace is like a women in some fine lingerie! :tank:

    To be honest its getting way over thought in my opinion.Agreed, have a simplistic answer? Is it
    as easy to just say half the hops if doing a full boil instead of topping off?

  • Posted in thread: Full boil on a extract batch on 02-14-2013 at 08:07 PM
    And yet again as stated before the confusion and contradicting answers continue.. more over, my
    dilemma also is that I'm adding fermentables at different times.. my gravity from 60-20 is
    different fro...

    Oh, I'm sorry I just realised I didnt mention that. They are both willamette additons. Just to
    add, they receipe shown is for a 2.5 gallon boil. Which I want to do a 5 gallon boil with. So
    essentially...

    So I've searched this topic and i'm finding very incosiestent results. I have a brewers best
    american cream ale kit laying around and I figured I'd brew up a extract kit instead of
    breaking out all th...

  • Posted in thread: What size cone is needed for conical? on 02-06-2013 at 11:55 PM
    After I roll the cone I plan on welding a nipple to the bottom so I can attach a 1 inch ball
    valve. This will allow me to keep my cost down for now with a cheaper ball valve until I can
    afford a 3 pie...

  • Posted in thread: What size cone is needed for conical? on 02-06-2013 at 03:54 PM
    Yeah, a total cone would NOT be beneficial to me, I don't think it'd fit in my ferm chamber.
    Wow, I'm really going to have to sharpen up on my trig/geometry because I'm drawing a blank for
    the formula...

  • Posted in thread: What size cone is needed for conical? on 02-06-2013 at 03:52 AM
    I'm doing a conceptual design for homemade conical. My plan is to take an old pony keg (the
    taller/skinnier style) and fashion a stainless steel cone and TIG weld it to the bottom of the
    keg. Kind of ...
