Its been a crazy 6 weeks. Ive home brewed on and off for 10+ years but recently have been on hiatus from it. A good friend 6 weeks ago said "i think i want to start brewing beer" One thing led to another and now we have have 15 gallon setup in his basement with 20 ball lock kegs on the way and...

I searched for this but couldnt find exactly what i was looking for. I know that the Speidel 60l is advertised as being for 10 gallon batches but I assume that with some Fermcap added you could easily do 13 or 14 gallons. Is this a safe assumption? Can anyone confirm or deny?

The funny part of this whole story is that I have not brewed in 2 or 3 years. A buddy of mine brought it up about a month ago that he wanted to start brewing. One thing leads to another and 4 of us decided we wanted to partake so there was a need for volume. Just ordered 20 Gal HLT/Mash Tun /...

Have been contemplating a big kettle for 10 gal boils for a while. At Marshall's today ran across a huge stockpot 103.5 Qt. appears to be a tri clad bottom couldn't speak to the thickness. It's priced at $200 so I could save some money. Anyone know anything about these pots? It said it was...

Had two kegs in the keezer for over a month with no issue. Put in a a Triple IPA and a few days later notice that the C02 tank is empty. Switch the C02 tank and decide to spray everything down with soapy water to hunt down the leak. Cant find anything. The kegs hold pressure but if i leave...

Well it was bound to happen. On 10/28 i brewed the Dogfish head IBA Clone from Austin home brew. I made a starter with wlp005. I was aiming for a 1.5l starter so i added 1.5cups of light DME to about 1.7l of water and boiled for 20 minutes. Unfortunately i ended up with about 1.2l of starter...

Well i decided to keg my Arrogant Bastard Clone before leaving for vacation. Possibly a little early but the FG had not moved in a week so I knew it was finished fermenting at a minimum. Basically poor planning left me using my auto siphon which I hate... damn thing will never seal...

Anyone have a good clone recipie of this beer?

Just started kegging actually working on my first ever kegged beer at the moment. If you are on the fence just pull the trigger already. World of difference, and oh so easy once it all setup and ready to go. Seriously do not waste anymore time bottling your beer make the switch and you will...

I brewed an extract Arrogant Bastard Ale clone 10 days ago. The fermentation went crazy, first time i have ever had to use a blow off tube. It finally started calming down around day 8. I took a sample and its come down from 1.073 to 1.019. I figure I will get a few more points out of it and...

I pulled a sample for a gravity reading today to see what the brew had gotten down to. 1.073 - 1.019 in about 8 days. It should be getting close to finished. I haven't had an arrogant bastard in a while but from what I remember this is pretty darn close to being the real deal! Will see how...

Made a 2l starter for ABA clone which wieghed in at 1.073. The beer has been sitting for 3.5 hours and already some airlock activity. Hopefully it will be going strong in the morning :rockin:

Made a 2 l starter for the aba clone I am brewing tomorrow. It was a veery fresh vial of wlp American ale yeast and the starter has made a mess on the counter twice now. These things are hungry. I was going to cold crash it tonight and decant but with only about 1.6 liters left after boil and...

Posted this in the extract forum but not getting any real feedback though I would try here. So I decided to do a n ABA Clone from a recipe I found online this weekend. I just have a few questions I need answered before brew day. The recipe didn’t say but my assumption is that the 2lb of...

So I decided to do a n ABA Clone from a recipe I found online this weekend. I just have a few questions I need answered before brew day. The recipe didn’t say but my assumption is that the 2lb of specialty grain should be steeped as usual for 30 min? What would be the proper temp…. I assume 154...

Let me start by saying i have never had a fermentation not start overnight. Only done a half dozen brews but still never had it happen. In preparation for my latest brew i did lots of reading on the forum on best practices ect. I decided to try and control the fermentation temperature by...

Been out of home brewing for sometime but I am getting back into and doing it right this time. Keg setup gets here tomorrow and Keezer will be in place in a few weeks! Im brewing this weekend and have read about the benefits of doing a full 5 gal boil for extract kits and doing late malt...

Im buying myself a kegging setup for my birthday, I hate bottling so bad it actually keeps me from brewing. Is there any down side to buying a chest freezer setting everything up and initially just using picnic taps to put the beer into glasses/growlers/ direct pout into mouth etc? I want to...
