Gave this a go tonight.

Just wondering, this just see's normal carbing via co2 in a keg?

Turned out like ****. Had a hard time controlling the pool :/ sending you a PM.

Made this again last night. Did an 10 gallon all grain batch. made a few adjustments. Added brown sugar(which I hope bumps up my ABV), along with a bunch of spices. Hopfully it turns out better then my first batch(which tasted great, just seemed a little light) Brian

Thanks for your reply. But received my wire and did it myself. Thanks, Brian

I think we rather have a 10 or 15. But might be interested in a 5. Make sure to keep us on the list! Thanks, Brian

might have to try this one.

made this last night! We'll see how it turns out!

How long is everyone leaving it in their primary? 21 days then to secondary? Or moving it sooner? Brian

Made this over the weekend. Checked on it yesterday and it smells great! I'm sure the taste is still coming together, but had a bit of a smokey taste to it.

Ever think about releasing it as open source for us other coding beer hobbyist :) ?

Also wondering? Have a very interested friend. We are local and would pickup.

I'm not too concerned about the Eff. Just wondering why the total grains of 13 LB 5 OZ doesn't match all the grains you posted? You list only totals to 12 LB 13 OZ. Hope this makes sense? I just want to make sure something didn't get included before I attempt this :)

I just used some star-san to sanitize. I'll have to check the temp, but Chicago tap water is COLD. I would guess in the 55* range.

A friend and I are slowly setting up a nice eHERMS setup. So we setup a keggle to use for now and needed a wort chiller. There are a bunch of how-to's on here, but figured I'd post mine with results. I used the cheapest garden hose I could find at home depot. 25'- $15. The "how to" I read...

Add everything to Beersmith, and the OG comes up short. Give a quick look over to your recipe and notice you post that the grain total is 13.lb, 5 oz. Well the recipe you listed only totals to 12lb, 81 oz? any chance of you uploading your BS profile to the org post? Thanks, Brian

Do you just add DME strait to the pal or do you boil and add?

So we did our first All Grain today in our new keggle. Brewed two different beers that had a target of 1.065. Both of them only went to 1.045. Should I just leave it be or add like a pound of DME to each 5 gallon bucket? Thanks, Brian

I ordered some flux cored SS wire for my MIG, but it won't be here for a week. Some buddies and I were hoping to brew in my new keggle this weekend. Is there anyone on here that can weld 2 couples into a keggle for me? I'm on the NW side of Chicago. Thanks, Brian

So I made my first batch ever this Sunday. I used 1318 London ale smack pack. Made it with a starter. Boiled with 3 gallons of water and added 3 once it was all in the carboy. Ended up pouring a little out so there would be some head room. Before adding the water, I was at 2.5. When I finished...
