Hey guys, it's been a few years since I've been on the site thanks to "real life" but I'm back! I've been waiting to upgrade my rig to 15g kettles and a B10 type build. Basically the brew stand is keeping me from getting there at the moment and I'm starting to think about just getting the...

Nice, thanks!

Today's selections. I pitched onto the yeast cake from the IPA I just kegged during the mash, so no yeast packet. The boil My buddy Mike aerating and moving trub. Note the hat people, I'm trying. Starting to refill the ferm room.

Sparging with a hombrew. My Chaina Cat Sunflower, Brown Ale spiced with Chai. Not a bad conversion. This is the Chai, flash must have done something, it's actually not at all that dark. It's a bit darker than iced tea. Hop/Yeast Fridge

My MLT is the cylindrical cooler mod. I reuse my mash tun preheat water as a sanitizing bucket for the day. Go green! More like go go gadget common sense. Ah Doughing in... may possibly be my favorite moment in the brewing process. Tough to say though. Upon hitting my target I had...

BrewDay 3-1-09 Morning Dew IPA Hello HBT, I haven't ever posted pics of my brewery before so I took a few shots during todays session. I hope everyone gets as much of kick out of looking at these as I do viewing all yours! Started off by gathering the grain bill together. 12lbs in all...

I actually like Middle Ages stuff. I'm shocked to hear someone so offput by it. Dags.

I would suggest cleaning and sanitizing right before you bottle instead of trying to "prep".

bar is looking great man, nice job.

perfect, thanks Trench.

I just got my kegerator project finished and now I'm able to reep the benefits of kegging. There is a competition I wanted to enter in a few weeks with a brew that's ready to be bottled or kegged right now. I'm just wondering if anyone has filled a bottle out of the tap and capped it? I...

well played sir, well played.

Do us all a favor and bottle it and let us know what happens. It's nice when people share these experiences, it adds to the wealth of knowledge already here. Good luck!

sounds like the carboy is on an uneven surface, as if when you rotate it, everything just shifts over. Other than that, I have never seen what you're describing. Post a pic for the hell of it.

I haven't ever had a problem with it so I can't say for sure. I would think it's going to be fine and it will settle.

Yeah I say go for it.

I like to cycle my regular beers in a way that allows me to bottle and pitch a new batch of the same brew onto the existing yeast. It's pretty gratifying.

I first had "Oat" at a bar in Syracuse NY. I was completely blown away by this beer. For the longest time my friends just kept telling me to shut up about it... then they tried it. Fantastic stuff. Pretty much everything that comes out of there is top knotch. Their IPA is delicious.

I love the Dead and have always loved their version of Deep Ellum Blues, so I decided to make a pun of it, Deep Ellum Brews. All the beers are song titles, I try to find some sort of relevance in them... Morning Dew - IPA Lady With A Fan - Cinnamon Coffee Smoked Porter Jack Straw - Rye Pale...

I would think the recipe is saying to dry hop for 5-7days not 5-7 days into fermentation. That said, I agree with Beerthoven, 2 weeks primary then rack into secondary. 2 weeks is usually a minimum also, sometimes it's longer for me.
