yeah, I'm thinking that is too hot as well. I don't think the bucket was made for that kind of temp but I could be wrong. I'm sure someone on here knows what the ale pail is rated for.

since there is no flavor/aroma hop addition in this recipe can I just use Casacade because that is what I have? Will it make much difference?

Try some amylase enzyme. It is like a buck at the lhbs. I've not used it ye but i have it at th ready for such an occasion. Seems to work but may dry out your beer too much from what i hear.

I love my 10 gal. Aluminium pot. It will allow you to easily do all grain brew in a bag without purchasing extra equipment. Mine was $40 shipped from ebay. (Another $15 for the lid.)

Interesting good or weird? I'd like it to be flavorful and yet universally enjoyed. Is the sorrachi too much of a risk? What if i used some noble hops? I've never tried them...

does this look like enough s05 for a low gravity blonde? It is a pint jar. I'd rather not mess with a starter.

Is oatmeal only for stouts and porters? What would it be like in a lighter ale? Why not?

Yup. And it isnt like regular plastic is rat poison. As long as the beer isnt marinating in it for weeks you shouldnt have any problems.

I just sanitized 50 bottles in 3 minutes with this bad boy. Quick, cheap, and no mess. Highly recommended. I just have to remember to return it to my toddler after i'm done.

Id do it without thinking twice.

Jk

Yeah, i've had luck with a citronella filled airlock too.

Is a gallon of green trub left after bottling an ipa excessive? Is a hop sock worth using? Other ways to cut down on trub? Seems like a lot of wasted beer.

Should i dump it?

It isn't the boiling so much that bothers me, its the waiting for the water to cool that makes me antsy.

Does city tap water really have bacteria in it? Is it necessary to boil water for rehydrating yeast, topping up, washing yeast etc? (I know that boiling does help with chlorine but I'm thinking more about bacteria.)

I'm going to try reusing and possibly washing yeast but i'm not interested in making a starter. I can just pitch plenty of washed yeast right? The slurry seems to contain more than enough yeast to not need a starter.

Now than nottingham costs as much as safale, is there a different good and cheap dry ale yeast?

Did you get any dill flavor? Im hearing a lot about dill flavor that doesnt sound that great.
