If you can wait, easiest solution is to buy two 30qt turkey frier sets with burners and a Igloo cooler at ThanksGiving time, they are pretty cheap. FRIER #1 - HLT COOLER w/ False Bottom - MASH FRIER #2 - BOIL KETTLE You should be able to get the whole setup for less then $200. Do some All...

Your wort tasted bitter before fermentation? That's very odd, I've never seen or heard of an unfermented wort be anything but overly sweet.

Greenbush is in Sawyer, Mi. if you haven't been it's an amazing place hidden away in a tiny little town just over the Indiana boarder. as far as adding steeped grains to already fermenting beer, it's a waste. The process of steeping grains adds that into the mix, adding it now will give...

I emailed iGrill asking for a liquid submersion prob also. The more people who request the more likely they'll develop it. Email [email protected] asking for this when you have a moment!

The Starsan towel concept is fantastic! This WILL be used! Thanks!

The pot has a fairly nicely snug lid, not air tight but I think with the positive pressure from fermentation it should keep infection out... The stirplate will keep Krausen growth to a minimum (I've got a BlackMaxx stir plate which can vortex a 5gal Carboy) not to mention my 3Liter starter in a...

I have a 1000ML E-Flask but want to make a much larger starter. I have a 2gallon stainless pot I use to boil my starters. My question is simple, what are the negative factors involved (if any) in boiling a 3000ml starter in this stainless pot, cooling it in the same stainless pot, followed...

Boiled for an additional 30 minutes (90min boil) and OG ended at 1.061 at 11gallons and was expected to be 1.058 so the additional gallon & 30min boil was probably a good thing. I need to stop changing things in my system, it seems as soon as I learn the system I go change something and throw...

Thanks for the response Yooper!, This has only a single bittering hop addition boiled for 60 minutes (3oz Hallertauer) so I can't really make any additonal hop adjustments. I'll just check OG & volume at end of boil and figure out if I want to deal with additional IBU's or smaller beer with...

So I'm in the midst of brewing a Oktoberfest/Marzen with my new kettle (Blichman 30gallon Boilermaker, if I can brag for a moment) and I'm mid-way through hop additions. I've seem the boil-off is different on this kettle then my prior, so I'm going to be OVER on volume by end of boil. My...

+1 for beer mapping!

I read a news article the other day that said 100% of the people who drink beer will die. As it turns out, 100% of the people who don't will also....

Well BrewD00d... Any update on wedding and if the beer stored as well as you expected? This thread was of great assistance with ongoing debate on buying a beer gun. I'm leaning more toward yes. I moved from 5G to 10G batches and found that I can make more beer then I can drink...

I've spent the last three hours reading forums here trying to get an answer too two quick questions, without luck. 1) Will making a starter INCREASE the cell count of pitchable yeast with dry yeast packet (11.5g)? 2) Is it possible to pitch TOO MUCH yeast into a batch? Unrelated to the...

I've been playing back and forth, but just recently learned I've been wasting my time as I've been making starters with 11.5g Dry yeast packets, and from what I read, it doesn't help generate more yeast. BUT, I first ran the airlock which did NOT function well. I later used Tin Foil which...
