3 weeks primary/ 24 hr cold crash works for me with most beers and us 05 yeast.

I did a bb black lager kit , got 5 gal, it was ok. After bottle conditioning 5-6 weeks there Great!!

I just did my first BIAB, in a 9 gal pot, turned out ok but 10 gal would be better. My first all grain batch was a 1 gallon Brooklyn Brew kit. You can do it all on the stove and its a good learning experience .

I take Benadryl every night, with alcohol ... Helps with my sleep/allergies.. Still here lol

Ok, thanks for the replies. I was thinking due to the "thickness" of the wort it may get hotter. Guess not..

I'm curious if there's a temp that shouldn't be exceeded when boiling the wart?? Can't bad things happen if it gets too hot?? I keep mine at a slow boil, or just boiling .. Any thoughts?

I wait for the hot break before adding hops But I can't see how boiling longer could be good. Seems like the sugars wouldn't like it. But who knows..

Any automotive style hand cleaner like gojo with pumice will take the glue off.

Haven't tried a Belgian IPA . My LHBS puts the clone kits together and has a suggested yeast. I'll head up there and get the right yeast, but an $8 yeast turns into $100 real quick anytime I go there LOL.

Kinda what I was thinking. I'll be looking for that Belgian IPA this weekend.

So, I've got a fat tire clone in the primary, used Wyeast 1214? Belgian Abby . Was wondering how this yeast would work with an IPA that's up next.

Hello all, Started with mr beer around christmas, 2batches, then on to 5 gal batches. Mex light drinking,pretty good Black lager very good but needs to carb up more. Shock top clone just bottled. Fat tire, APA, brown ale waiting its turn. Geat fun and very addictive :-)
