Hey All... So I haven't done an extract batch in a while and I'm helping a friend out who is just getting into brewing... She's got a recipe that calls for 5# Extra Light DME, 1# Wheat LME, and 5# of Flaked wheat. The recipe calls for the flaked wheat to be steeped for an hour at 145*, then...

AHS is my LHBS. Well, at least they used to be my LHBS. I've never ordered ingredients from anywhere else, and being that they are less than 10 minutes away, I never saw the need to order from anywhere else. However, every time I've been in during the last 6 to 8 months the store is seriously...

Just went into the carboy tonight. Can't wait... 6 weeks is gonna take forever!

Brewing this today!!! Can't wait! Going to do 12oz of coconut with 15 min left in the boil and 12oz in primary. Can't wait!!!

Damn... I was at Mateo from 00-04. I Co

Aren't you going to just take your wort to boil? I'm not sure I'm clear as to what you're asking with regards to "get my wort up to temp". If you've already figured out the temp you need for your strike water and are mashing in a cooler tun (I'm assuming that you're not talking about an...

Can't wait to brew this!!! Had some of this over the past few weeks and loved it!! Was thinking man, I need to find a recipe for this and WHAM! here it is!!! Thanks!!

I use one of these. Takes 5 seconds. I only check once or twice, when I'm stirring the mash.

iBrewMaster2. Love it!!!

Just think of it this way.... You have a DD for at least the next 9 months.... Longer if she breast feeds!!!

I have 2 girls. My 4 y/o has started asking me when I walk in the door, "daddy, can we make beer today?". I let her "help"... She stirs my bucket of Star San solution while I'm mashing, etc. This last batch she told me that she was brewing "syrup". Lol. My 2 y/o doesn't get to help yet. We...

Can you brew some Lonestar? You should brew some whiskey. Is it any good? You should sell it and make a fortune!

A quick question for those that use a hop spider. Do/did you notice any difference in the hop "efficiency" (sorry, not sure what its called) versus throwing the hops in loose? Do you have to add more hops if you use a spider than you would just adding them loose to get the same hop flavor...

I use a 25' IC. While my boil is going I clean out my cooler/MLT and use it as my water reservoir for my IC. I bought one of these to pump the water through my IC (can't attach it to my sink). My tap water runs about 70*. Once my wort gets down to about 110* I dump 10# of ice in the...

Hangin out at home brewing up 5 gallons of blonde ale. Thinking of adding a fruit to it, but not sure what. Suggestions?

I prolly have 3-4 cases bottled right now. Have 12 empty 24oz Corona bottles, around 60 or so clean and de-labeled twist offs, and I just picked up about 150 pop tops from the local recycling center for free. Got about 50 or so of them cleaned and de-labeled. I have a 7 sankes (1/4 and 1/6...

---Update--- Tried a bottle of this tonight, two weeks after bottling. Boy was I surprised! Sweetness is definitely toned down and has a very nice flavor! A bit under carbed, which I was expecting since its only been two weeks. Another two weeks and I think it will be great!

It could. How much grain are you talking about? I get about 1/2 teaspoon during the first 2 qts of vorlauf then almost nothing after that.

I too have a copper manifold with slits made with a hacksaw. I get very few grain bits after 2 qts or so of vorlauf. Out of curiosity, are your slits on the top or bottom of your manifold?
