I just did my first batch. Yield aprox 6gal 2-2.5lb bags of Kirkland beans ground at store for ease. Double bagged grounds in large paint strainer bags. Put bags in my 8gal fermenter and added H2O to the 8gal mark. Left on counter 24-36hrs. Racked to a corny serving on 100% nitro with stout...

Invest in nitro.

When using the keg kit do you primary in a keg or only secondary? How do you get the 3” of true out?

Well I am glad to hear I am not the only one. Thanks for all the input. I think the buck primary and keg secondary is the way way to go. As far as needing 7-9 fermentors goes. I may have made 4 10gal batches one day while the wife was out of town. I had to use my carboys as I only have 4 8gal...

I currently have 4 8gal plastic bucket style fermenters as well as 5 glass carboys. I am thinking about selling my carboys but want opinions before I did anything drastic (like selling brew gear) Pro’s Can be sanitized after a sour batch Can be sanitized after an infection Con’s Heavy Risk...

A 10 gal batch costs me about $40-$50 depending on what I make. If I keg and brew On The same day and can pitch on the yeast cake it drops to $25-$35 per 10gal

I run a blow off every time as well. Even when I put 5 gal in my 8 gal fermenters.

While having dinner at Widmer one evening, my 8yr old son decided to come up with his own beer name. Cross Bones IPA. He drew a label and with a little help from dad and my brewing app. He wrote his own recipe. We will be brewing it up this Sunday afternoon. 10gal. 22lb 2 row 2lb car cry...

We have pretty Much replaced store bought bread with this. We use our bread machine on Dough cycle and then rise and bake in the oven for a more "traditional" shaped loaf. 1egg+enough H2O to equal 1 1/4 Cups + 2T 3T oil,Butter,margarine pick one we use butter but olive oil works well. 4T...

I made this for the first time several weeks ago. Tonight is the night to keg and bottle. I have read a pretty good portion of this thread and either missed or didn't see how much priming sugar to use. Thinking about priming with light brown sugar but have corn sugar in hand just in case I...

About 2-3 heck maybe 3-4 years ago I put 6 split beans in a fifth of vodka. Put it in the cupboard and waited. Now we have homemade vanilla extract that we use all the time. It's always lived in the cupboard with no ill effect. I would figure yours should be fine.

I bottle/keg and brew on the same day and do this all the time. You should use a pitching calculator to get the correct amount of yeast. That being said I pitch 10G batches on full yeast cakes all the time and have had no issues that I am aware of.

I guess I can't screw it up too bad. I just don't want 10G of ass flavored beer because I was trying to save $14 on yeast.

a 10gal batch works out to 14lb of 2 row. If I bump it to 16lb and add 16oz of molasses it get me closer to 6%abv.

I have never made this yet. I just found the recipe in the recipe section.

As a new brewer I have not learned yeast pairing yet. I am going to make a 10G batch of the following. I have a Belgian sitting on a Wyeast 3944 yeast cake. I would like to use this yeast for my pumpkin ale. Good choice?? 15 Gallon All Grain Recipe Recipe current as of 14 Aug 2011...

+1 for Peter Moving the hops out the the end of the boil will add a ton flavor and aroma.
