+ 1 For the New Belgium Accumulation White IPA. It's pretty light-bodied and very smooth for the style. I smelled grapefruit and citrus notes right off the bat. The bitterness didn't linger too long like a normal IPA.

Old thread, but just wanted to say that I use a Cool Brew bag and it works extremely well. I use three frozen 1 quart gatorade bottles switched out every 24 hours and it keeps my temp right at 63 degrees. I'm a new brewer and this has allowed me to be ahead of the power curve when it comes to...

=) Thanks for the feedback, kh. I was thinking of using a blowoff, but I need to hit up Home Depot for some vinyl tubing. I will definitely have it on hand for the new brew session, which will probably be the Mild Brown.

Okay, so back in 2010 I brewed an RIS with a friend at his house using extract. It turned out okay, but could've probably done well with some aging. Flashforward to 2013, and I finally was able to pull the trigger on buying my own homebrew setup. I bought the Deluxe Bottling kit #4 from...

=) Thanks everyone for the help. I truly appreciate all the responses. Are there any alternatives to using teflon tape, such as those little inserts used on the fitting for kegs? I don't know what they're called but they look sort of like a plastic ring that goes inside of the part being...

Okay, please forgive my ignorance when it comes to this topic, okay? lol I have a Heavy Duty kettle with ball valve, barb fitting, and thermometer from Morebeer. This past weekend I went to Home Depot and bought teflon tape to make waterproof seals because for plumbing I've always seen...

Thanks for the charts, PoB. I'm sure these will come in handy soon. =)

=) Thanks so much for the info, PP. I really like the look of your organized storage and may have to copy it in the near future. Also, thanks for the info about the malt storage time.

Alright, I got C&B bm'd and will be awaiting the new videos anxiously. Best of luck to youse guys on your endeavors.

Sweet building, mate. I'm looking forward to building something similar one day in the future (read: distant future lol).

I'm totally digging your setup, mate. Can you tell us a bit more about those containers? Rubbermaid?

Bryon, what happened to BTV? Did you kill it with your crazy antics (eating that big spoonful of hops when youse guys brewed that crazy IPA)? lol Sad to hear it's no more, but definitely will keep an eye for you and Chip.

I used Mott's apple juice from Sam's for my last batch, and so far it's great.
