I'm looking for a good extract or partial mash recipe that's fast from brew to bottle. Something that could maybe be ready in 20 days or less, anyone have anything that fits the bill? Thanks.

I just got a new brewpot, it has a thermometer mounted on the sidewall 5" from the bottom of the pot the thermometer enters the pot perpendicular to the sidewall and goes in 4". How am I supposed to put my Wort chiller into the pot with the thermometer in the way, anyone else ever have this...

Don't drag my thread into this :) I'm still holding out hope that this is an unrelated problem....

And how is it that everyone who uses an aluminum pot doesn't have this problem??

If its galvonic corrosion is it safe to drink the current batches?

I had one more thought on this, if this is really due to a copper / aluminum reaction and I get the metalic film when I'm brewing beer wouldn't I get the same film when i'm cleaning it with 50 /50 white vinegar and water because of the acidity of the vinegar?

This is sort of what I was worried about. The same thing has happened the 4 times I've used it no matter how clean it is. But I figured if this was a common aluminum/copper problem someone out there must've seen similar results...

I usually put in a bucket with bbrite and water soak it for a bit then rinse it in the shower.

Sorry, I forgot to mention when I first made it I boiled it in 50/50 white vinegar and water, I thought that'd clean it off.

I made an immersion cooler out of copper tubing, when I put it in my wort to boil for the last 20 minutes, it tends to leave a small metallic looking film, is this unusual, should I be worried about it? I use an aluminum brew pot. Thanks

All of the calculations I've seen for determing IBUs includes boil time, how does dry hopping work into the IBU number since there's no boil? Does it only count towards aroma and not towards bittering? Just curious. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for a good partial mash Imperial Pilsner recipe, if anyone has one they'd like to share I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I had a question, I'm about to bottle my beer tonight. I sanitized my bottles this weekend but then got delayed and am just getting to bottling now. I was going to rinse the bottles once more with the bottle washer before I start. After I rinse should I wait till the bottles are completely dry...

Thanks for the advice, I moved the beer to the carboy tonight, everything looks and smells good.

So I'm brewing my first batch. On Friday I brewed and put the beer into the primary fermenter. I put the fermenter into the basement where its cooler. Everything was looking good, by the morning the fermentation lock was bubbling, and I thought things were going well. About 15-16 hours into...
