yes, i'll be ordering from nordaggios before i buy the grains. i'm also looking forward to drinking the coffee i won't be using in secondary.

It's 3 years later, and I just logged in for the first time in a long time. Didn't even remember posting this. That schedule crap didn't work. I wound up with a ton of beer, creating the very dangerous precedent of giving tons away to friends and family. Plus there is so much great beer out...

Hoping someone still keeps an eye on this old thread... I'm actually looking to do this as a partial mash... (GASP! the Horror!) (I know, but I have my reasons...) Started a "lab" for experiments recently. I brew 5 gallons at a time of a good beer, split it into a mix of 3-5 separate 1 and 3...

It's the scrubbing part I don't like. And this saves me money over one step, b brite, and oxyclean. When I use oxyclean or baking soda my bottles get a nasty film on them that takes several washes to get rid of. Could be something in the local water though. The gloves are to protect your hands...

This works wonders for removing labels without ever scrubbing bottles! Thank you science for improving life once again. Removes labels like a champ, and gets rid of mold too. You will need: - 1 cooler that you don't use for anything else. Think Goodwill or search your garage/shed for...

My wife is ok with it as long as beers that she likes are in the fridge. The schedule is always open to change based on what I feel like, and I tried to balance it out so my long term bottle conditioners can get plenty of rest while I still have beer to drink. I also blended my single stage...

I've made 21 batches o' beer since September 2011, but feel like I could have done a lot more with some better planning and organization. I wanted to share the result: my brew schedule for the rest of 2012. One beer every Sunday until December 31st, then the 2013 calendar will be made if this...

Subject says it all. I used too hard and my rubber stopper is now at the bottom of about 3 gallons of wine snide my 5 gallon carboy. I don't cate about saving the wine, or the stopper, but I do very much care about saving my carboy. Any easy way to get this stopper out?

This am have to be my first all grain brew. Looks too good not to try...

Tons and tons of sediment. a solid half inch yeast cake at the bottom of every bottle, but the beer turned out great. Thanks everyone.

I had an IPA that overcarbed but luckily I had no bombs. The bottles would overfoam when opened though. It took an extra 6 weeks for the carb level to correct itself in the bottles at room temp. The waiting sucked. Kegging isn't an economic reality right now, but a savings fund has been started.

I always seem to no matter what when grain is involved. I pour into a glass to drink, so if that's the worst of it then a weight has just been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks Stubbornman!

I've been brewing since November, a few times a month, and have had a great time making some great beer. Yesterday I was racking to secondary, made a mistake and my entire primary went into the bottling bucket. The yeast cake was so liquidy that it mixed right in. I saw no pint in letting it...
