Just got a 32qt brinkmann turkey fryer for Xmas. Since the 32qt pot sits inside a ring when on the fryer would I be able to use a wider kettle in the future and just sit it on top of the ring or would this be a problem? Anybody ever use a wider/bigger kettle without problems? Just want to...

Whats a good temp range to ferment chimay blue clone? Using WLP500 Thanks

After 18 hours my first starter has a nice layer forming on the bottom of the jar. Just verifying that is how it should look. Also how long after it was made should I refrigerate it so I can decant top liquid? When I refrigerate that layer on the bottom should solidify so it will not pour out...

Just brewed my first extract kit tonight. It's a True Brew Bavarian Hefe!! Followed directions to a T. Original gravity came in a little low. Should have been 1.045-1.049. Mine was 1.035. I'm hoping it was because of not being mixed well when I added top off water. Anyway it was fun and...
