Thanks. Yeah I thought of that. The most I would be wheeling it would be approx 5 feet on smooth garage floor. The weight I can figure out and make sure its enough support. Dont think Im going to be putting a ton of carboys in there. I usually only have 3 or 4 fermenting at once. Def...

After doing some more research on this.... seems like taking apart a mini fridge may be more of a headache than its worth. Looked into maybe doing a small AC unit. Found a reasonable one at Lowes and HomeDepot (5000 BTU) that will fit under the bottom shelf (enclosed area in the picture)...

Ok so my next project was going to be a tiered brew stand but Im really in the need also for a fermentation chamber. So my thought was to combine the two. Im limited on space so I cant go to crazy w/DIY projects around. Here is the rough layout of what Im thinking. I would be putting...

Thanks JB... Thats the exact reason I was asking the question. I know that DMS will evaporate during the boil and my thought process was that it would still do so as long as I leave the lid off during the 60min boil. Funny, I just found a new post that I hadnt seen yet and now I def think I...

Thanks everyone... I also adjusted my burner a little bit and started picking up the pace once I did that. Prob gonna be off a little now with my boil off amounts but at least Ive learned to work w/my equipment a little bit! Better do it now instead of tomorrow w/a brew on the burner. I know...

I have seen some different opinions on doing your 60min boil w/the lid on or off your kettle. Overall, seems like no lid is def the way to go. Heres the question. Im doing my first batch tomorrow (Cant wait!) and im dialing in my equipment tonight, doing a test run w/water to make sure im...

So I have what is prob a simple question.... Im doing my first Extract batch tomorrow (started right away w/all grain). The recipe calls for boiling 2.5g of water, then steeping grains, then extract, then top off water. Since I use a 10g kettle for AllGrain, cant I just do a full boil...

Ok, first THANK YOU for the replies! Great to know I can get help this quick... makes my first AG batch a little less nerve racking. My main concern was raising the temp in a plastic cooler... obviously I cant fire it. After playing w/beersmith a little I found the answer to my question...

Just moving to Lewes area from Philadelphia and wondering if anyone can rec. a good spot to get my CO2 refilled? I have heard of a place or 2 that trades in this area but dont really want to give up my nice shiny bottle. Thanks!

Alright... So Im making the jump to AG and have a question about "mashing out". Im using a cooler for my mash tun and had planned on fly-sparging. If I "mash out" how would I raise the temp to 170deg? I have seen some say to sparge w/water at a higher temp... say like 190deg. Ive seen...
