Is this what's always called hot/cold break? I didn't filter or siphon, just dumped (used my grain bag for a hop bag though). There's about 4 inches of it, I hope it compacts out more. Made the Arrogant Bastard clone in the recipe section (I made a royal mess of it though and ended up...

I was talking to my old man about keeping a eye out for a cheap turkey fryer and he mentioned he had a large aluminum pot he got at a garage sale for 20$ he could loan me. So he dropped it off and now that I'm looking at it, the bottom is all kinds of pitted and ever some scratches. I've...

For a Keggle? 10-12 gallons I'm getting 2 maybe 3 Sankes for 15$ each from some local kid and I see a Turkey Fryer new in box for 10$ on CL as well. The Sankes were just to cheap to pass up even though I don't plan to change over to propane/outdoor/10g batches anytime soon. Though it's...

I know the one time I couldn't find a bucket to Star-san my bottles in I used my kettle and it left the bottom super-shiney. I immediately rinsed and boiled water in it in case I damaged the protective layer. Later I read about acid based stuff not being so good for SS pans? Pitting and etc...

Long story short, I hadn't planned to start kegging. I just wanted 4-6 to store away in case I changed my mind (and the keg scare actually played out) but I ended up getting 10 kegs. Anyways, now that I have so many I may as well keg, have a spare fridge too. If you would I want someone to...

This has probably been asked before, but I didn't find the answer. I live on a farm and as such there are several sheds from previous generations of use. So far I've dug up some 16 oz pepsi bottles (thick as hell, and re-cappable) and will likely be finding more kinds of bottles since my...

Currently I'm planning to go from extract 5 gallon to 3 gallon Brew In A Bag batches. 3 reasons - Savings of AG + the fact that I don't drink a whole lot + I like making the beer possibly more than drinking it (and I do enjoy that, in moderation). (plus at least this way I can build up to 5g+...

To split or not to split the dry yeast for 1 gallon experiments? I was thinking maybe something like ~half a pack in each gallon. I know that's still over pitching but I've never read anything bad about that? Dry yeast is cheap so I'm not majorly concerned in any case... just thought I'd ask...

Yup I'm new! Anyways, I tried searching around for anyone that's made comment on it but couldn't find anything. Will it bottle bomb? My hopes are it'd work as a primer and possibly sweeten it some (and maybe cut the alchohol down, next batch will probably cut the corn sugar since I'm not a...
