Yay Cubbies!

Yeah I was considering splitting the crystal between English medium 40-50l and English dark 70-80l.

Just curious if you used American 40L, 60L, 80L or the sort of equivalent English medium and English dark. Supposedly there is a stronger biscuit flavor to the English grains that may impart more graham cracker like flavor. I'm planning to try this myself in a week or too and tracking down...

Quick question. I've converted one of these just fine. I have another one and can't get temp below 43 degrees running constantly. That is significantly lower than my house but not low enough. Any thoughts?

No, I'm trying to clone Black Raven's La Petite Mort. They are in Redmond, WA. Thank you for the comments. Maybe Pug was right and it is honey and that is where I get the sugar / syrup from that Gabe suggests. Gabe, 3522 has fermentation range of 65 - 76 degrees. I can go a little colder...

I'm going to make my favorite porter this weekend, the Captured by Porches clone from BYO. I'd like to try experimenting more and thought of turning this into a pumpkin porter. My issue is I want both, I only want to mash once, and I only want 2.5 gal of regular porter and 2.5 gal of my...

Remove baffles / seal, hacksaw the plastic out of the door, remove insulation, seal back up, replace baffles. I used a sheet of plexiglass to seal the door that I glued, caulked and spray painted so it looks very nice. if you don't care what it looks like, duct tape would probably work.

I tried this too. OG of about 1.25. Stalled for two weeks now at 1.12. Thinking about adding champagne yeast. Smells wonderful. Maybe my OG was too high, who knows.

Hi all, trying to brew a 2 gal utopia clone. OG of roughly ~1.25. Been stuck at 1.12 for about two weeks now. Pitched initially on 2L starter using WLS099. Followed the BYO high gravity procedure of aeration after adding each quart of wort. Pitched fresh yeast a few weeks ago with more...
