The problem is likely that the Campden tablets in the first 24 hours after added them are causing your wort to be less hospitable to for yeast growth. Try adding less next time. BYO suggests 1/2gram per 20 gallons. UPDATE: Do not add one tablet per gallon. This is for wine and for inhibiting...

Knowledge is key. Check out "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian and "How to Brew" by John Palmer as a start. Also, if you like pod casts, I have found Basic Brewing Radio to be a great way to learn, http://www.basicbrewing.com/.

I made a mead that took 3 years to be decent, finally tastes great at 6 years. I can't imagine starting out in wine making doing this as my first ferment. I might suggest starting with something simpler for your first brew, even if it is all grain, just to get a few brews under your belt...

I had a similar problem with a used one I picked up recently. I think the gap was a bit uneven. Also, I may have had an issue with a cleaning that made the rollers too slick. A gap adjustment and a few pounds of grain and the problem didn't come back.

Where in Indiana are you from?

I was lucky and picked up a Barley Crusher for $15 from a small brewery that was moving and selling a lot of their smaller equipment. Took a bit of cleaning to get it in shape, but I am excited to try it out for the first time this weekend.

Welcome Charlie. I recently came over from the wine-making side myself. This is one of the best resources you can find to answer your brewing questions. Also, if you have not already, I would suggest http://www.amazon.com/dp/0060531053/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 and...

I know this is an old thread, but found it to be interesting. Do you have data on the oxygen permeability of Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE)? All the information I found on LDPE and HDPE show the permeability coefficients of these plastics to be extremely low. I was not able to find much on...

The Complete Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Papazian and How to Brew by John Palmer, in that order, seem to be the best way to get started. The advanced book recommendations here seem to be good. Also hear good things about Designing Great Beers: The Ultimate Guide to Brewing Classic Beer Styles...

Again. Merry Christmas!

For the same price, maybe slightly less, you may be able to pick up a new brew pot from Spike Brewing. Updated: The 15 gallon, which would be comparable to the keggle would be slightly more.

again! Merry Christmas

Bloomington, IN here. Just getting started.

From another thread:https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/anchor-porter-clone-all-grain-recipe-288615/ http://chris.norrick.com/norrickenbier/20a.html This appears to be the "Beer Captured" recipe. To me Anchor Porter is very malty and sweet. I would say the key may be to mash around 152 to be...

I would be interested in 2 bags if a group buy happens. I am in Bloomington, IN.

Entered, thanks!

New to the forums. Just made my first brew today, an extract Porter. Wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone here who has contributed to the forums and made my brew day just a little bit easier. The amount of knowledge here is amazing. Cheers! Matt
