Congrats on the step-up. Nice Pic's looks like you are off to a good start :rockin: But I would look into fixing (getting rid of) the Auto shut-off on the burner if it can be done safely. having to restart the burner every 12 min. on a long boil would be a pain.:(

Looks like it's going to be Beer . . best of luck :mug:

Has Anyone used one of the "Brew kit of the Month Clubs" and do you think it is worth it ?

HaHa had me worried there. I forgot once and Yuck. . . it was Drinkabul But way too sweet :eek:

Love the Pic's But One big Question Did you use any Hops? you did not list any or put in time table

Ok that must be for the PID part of the controller I was not useing that just On/Off. So to increse the Ramp I guss i need to get a bigger RIMS Tube like a 2500 or maybe go to 220v.

5 to 7 hr still new so am a little slow i take my time and don't rush it. Have fun don't worry Have a Homebrew :mug:

Increase what ?:confused:

Ok I did a Mush run with my FrankinRIMS and was looking over my notes and the Temp / times look a bit off. I had my Omega Controller set for a step mash On/Off. Havent figured out the PID settings yet :confused: but the temps laged a bit the ten segment run was 1. 95* for 10 min 2...

It's still fermenting witch will keep it mixed up give it more time to settle out. . . at least a week or more if you can keep the temps good. the last wit i did took about three weeks to settle down the thick stuff (yeast and trub )than i moved to my bottling bucket it will still be cloudy...

Yes most of the Kit Instructions leave a new brewer at a loss. at least the few that i have brewed. but thankfully I fount HBT and have learned a lot from reading. So far as I know there is no beer that dos not need Priming sugar IF you are going to bottle carb.

Or to be on the safe side use a large cooler with a little Ice to keep then cool on the road then let sit a few days to settle the yeast :mug:

Ya i went to the store and you are right the price is a bit higher than Oxyclean and most of the ones i looked at did have sent/flavor. so not so good but would work in a pinch

I was in my local bar picking up some bottles the owner was saving for me when i got into a conversation with a older Homebrewer. and he said to clean the stains out of Plastic water Bottles the he ueses cheep Denture cleaner like Poladent tabs He said 6 or 8 in a five gal bottle of warm water...

ok looked at the bottle's and here are the #'s if my math is good ;) `16 grams sugar per serving serving size 1 oz and 24.5 servings per bottle so 16 x 24.5 = 406.4 / 28 g per oz = 14.5 oz sugar per bottle so should i use one or both bottles for a 5 Gal batch or do you think that is too much...

sounds interesting i will try putting some #'s into BeerTools was wondering how to figure the numbers for the syrup still new after several years hehe

My Brother gifted me with two bottles of Torani's Cream of De Banana syrup and wanted a beer out of it any thoughts. I am a a loss what to do with it. do i use it in just a base SMaSH or try for some thing a bit more diffrent like a dark ale or even a lagar stuff on hand home made 2 row...

or if is too bad to drink destill off the alcahol and save it for the next batch that might need a bit of a kick :)

Ok give this a try a quick sketch
