I live in henderson/las vegas area and have a like new wort chiller for sale. It has been used 5 times. I am asking $50 for it. Give me a call if your interested. 7027872050 :mug:

Hey guys. So I made a blue moon clone similar to blue balls. During my mash I wasn't able to add sweet Orange peel. Do you think I could add oranges to a secondary fermented to get that sweet orangy taste? Or could that alter it and change up the taste too much. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Which is better?

A whole week?! Dang. I have one that I smacked about 36 hrs ago. It didn't fully expand so I never used it. Instead I bought a different yeast and within an hr and a half it swelled right up!

How would I go about making a starter?

I smacked my yeast at about 1:30 pm. Would it be okay to use it at 12am?

So I got everything I needed today! No kit, just the essentials. I got a 5 gal carboy, 6.5 gal bucket with spout, siphon and sanatizer. The guy at the shop I went to approved of my recipe and even went over how to make my wort. I start the batch on Tuesday. I'll upload photos!

Okay thanks! If I have a temperature controller and its set at 67 do I have to worry about the temp of the fermented being 5-10 degrees hotter? Or does it constantly keep it at the set degree?

Sweet. I knew about the sanitation but I really had no plan for fermentation. Thank you. I made up this recipe...what temp you think I should keep it at?

Also guys I think I see where you coming at with the importance of OG. For my first go at brewing ill probably just use 3lbs of extract. Thank you guys for all your imput. Also does anyone know of a good place for a decent starter kit? Just for now. In a couple of months I'm going to purchase...

Awesome that will save me some money for my first couple of tries. Also where can I get a controlled fermenter at?

Yeah I plan on purchasing everything. I didn't want to buy a kit but saw an awesome intermediate kit online at Midwest supply. Know of any other place that has good kits?

I'm going to attempt to do full.

So with the 3lbs of extract would that be in my wort? Does my recipe seem good enough to produce the right amount for 2.5gal? Or should I buy more DME for each batch?

Okay. Do you know if its okay to brew 2.5-3 gal in a 5 gallon carboy?

Not sure. Would I be worried about that?

So this is my first brew and I have done plenty of research about what is needed and how everything is done. I bought my ingredients online and here is what I ended up with: 2 separate 2.5 gal batches. The only difference is the DME. 3 lb Muntons Wheat DME 3 lb Briess Golden Light DME Weyemer...

Okay thanks everyone for the help. I have an O2 tank on hand from a friend so I wouldn't have to worry too much. Once again if anyone has anything they think would make an improvement in my batch feel free to let me know!

Awesome! Thank you. How do you like the new sanitation your using? And also guys I can get my hands on some oxygen tanks, should i shoot some into my wort before I start fermenting?

Alright thanks guys. Anything you guys think I should add to the recipe? And any tips for a beginner?
