  Little guy is 4.5 months now. Brewing definitely took a backseat for a while, but squeezed in a
  Wee Heavy when he was about 3 months old, which is when this picture was taken. Gonna have my
  brew buddy...

  This is how I rigged up my cooler mash tun. The stainless steel fenders were a little pricey,
  but worth the added cost for the stability, and they should last forever. Have fun with your
  first brew.

  Hmmm, I pitched one pack of Wyeast 3068. Was a little worried about it stalling, especially
  since it was shipped from MN to FL in the middle of summer and got here warm. But it fermented
  fully. Last w...

  I waited to add the second half of the DME in the last 15 minutes. Color still came out darker
  than I'd like. I guess that's common with extract brewing, especially partial volume. But other
  than that...

  I use Better Bottles to ferment and judging by that picture, I'd say you're right around 5
  gallons there, maybe a tad under. When you're done with the bottle and have it cleaned out,
  fill it with wate...

  I brewed this recipe as initially outlined (without the Irish moss). Pitched one pack of Wyeast
  3068. Fermented most of the time around 68, but did drop it down to 65-66 for a few days

  Tonight was an Old Rasputin and a Stone IPA. Tomorrow I'll break into a Duvel 4-pack. And
  Sunday I'll be cracking a bomber of my homebrewed Oktoberfest to kick off the start of another
  season of Packe...

  Actually, I just tried my Oktoberfest that was lagered for over 12 weeks. Straight out of the
  fridge, most of the flavor was dominated by hop bitterness and little else. I was a tad
