Probebly fermented out with a bad seal on the fermenter. You need to take a fg reading just to be sure.

Sounds like all you need is a HLT and possibly another stockpot. I use a cooler with a homemade braid and batch sparge. I heat my strike and sparge water on my stovetop then use my turkey fryer outside. Works great and I get pretty good efficiency.

I've had some high test brews in bottles for over two years that have already peaked but still taste good.

Just buy a six pack here and therfe of pry-offs and you'll have a ton before you know it. That or check your local recycling center. By doing just those two things I have more bottles than I know what to do with.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Just make sure you sanitize well.

Maybe it's co2 offgassing? Mine does the same exact thing and I've never worried about it and never had any off flavors. Except for and infection once. Not the autosiphon's fault.

X2 All my family calls me an artisan brewer. I call myself a home brewer and my beer home brew though.

Listening to inmates yell at county jail.

Wind will play a big part in your outdoor boil. The first one I did the wind was blowing moderately strong and I could barely maintain my boil. That's with the 165,000 btu sp10.

I ordered om the fifth and got my order yetserday. Shipping is a little slow, but I'm sure if you needed it faster you could do a faster shipping.

Got my order from hopsdirect yesterday. I'm not embarrised to say holding that much hops at one time gave me wood...........

I've left an ale in primary for a month and a half before. One of my best.

Just ordered a pound each of cascade, northern brewer, and willamette. I thought this looked like a decent mix for some american and english and possibly german ales? Great prices though I'm waiting on a shipping price....

Sniff Sniff, I'm not crying I swear

The only belgian I have made used belgian abbey II. Would this work well with Saccharomyces recipe? I really liked how the beer turned out with this one.

I also use a braid in a rectangular cooler. I get consistant 78% efficiency batch sparging.

COOLING: 25 ft. may be a bit on the small side. I use a 50 ft. and it cools a full boil very fast. As for not getting it below 70 degrees, what is your ground water temperature? If it's not much below 70 you won't be able to cool past that with your i/c.

corn..........? Couldn't help it.

just did a 185 spage yesterday and it brought me to 168.
