    what is the smallest pot for all grain 5 gallon batches

    I don't plan on making more than 5 gallon batches as I am the only one in the house who drinks beer. What is the smallest pot I would need to do a full boil for a 5 gallon batch all grain?

    I have this one gallon glass Jug can I use

    I have no ideal where I got it I think my sister may have gotten it at a yard sale. It had some rust stains in the bottom that I was able to remove with a soak in vinegar and then a scrub with one of the green scrub pads going thur the neck of the bottle with a wooden dowel rod. I have no...

    What do you listen to or watch when you Brew

    If I am having a few Pink Floyd or some Van Halen if I am not having a few some AC/DC and maybe some Sammy Hagar. When bottling well a little Big Bang Theory(TV) or some Trace Atkins or maybe a little Dexter. What do you do to break up the day when brewing?

    How do I approach this? (family recipes)

    I went to a game night party and brought a Kona Long Board 6 pack as I just started homebrewing. It was a huge hit only wish I had gotten a 12 pack. Anyway one of the ladies there found out I was starting to homebrew and told me her father made some of the best homebrew and use to store it...

    I tasted one of my first brews tonight

    It has only been in the bottle two weeks and I have to wonder why I ever bought the swill that is sold in stores. It was a 1 gallon all grain everyday IPA. I have been drinking a few IPA's and what I made was a total surprise. The head was nice but the retention was lacking. The color was...

    My first brew is in the bottles

    It was a one gallon all grain everyday IPA. I know I made a few mistakes along the way. I just kept going forward and drinking a few beers to have a few to fill. Well after I got it in the bottles I remembered that I hadn't stirred the beer before bottling so I emptied out the bottles stirred...

    So I go a gift of a Brooklyn Brewing Company one gallon all grain kit and it says to wait two weeks and then bottle but here in Florida the temp has warmed to 75 and my beer is now around 70 and fermenting like crazy. Should I let it go and wait till the mico bubbles are gone then bottle. The...

    Question My first brew

    I got a 1 gallon all grain kit for my Birthday and am brewing it up tonight. I know 5 gallons just as easy but hey it was a gift. I figure if it works out I will get a 5 gallon kit and use the one gallon for test brews. It is hard to believe that the my brown wort is going to be an IPA I know...

    I love Bourbon and a Great Beer

    I don't like the BMC beers most are too watered down and frankly just Horse ****. I do drink Samuel Adams, Anchor Steam, and some IPA. Now there is a beer in Kentucky called Bourbon Barrel Ale the beer is made then put in a used Bourbon Barrel and allowed to age a few weeks then bottled. It's...
