Working from home and going no where for last 4 months has saved me a load of cash. I pulled the trigger on the 10.5 last. Arrived with some serious dents inside the boiler which Anvil had no problems replacing. Hoping this reduces my propensity to burn myself during the brew day.

Just popped a cap to check if carbonating. It most definitely is! :ban: And it tastes great, the back end is a changing for the better. Patience now.

Thanks I've been fretting over that for a week. I managed to get 5-gal out of the fermenter and planned to carb at 3.5 which a hefty 7.8 oz corn sugar. Boiled and cooled the sugar, added to bottling bucket and stirred it in gently. Then I bottled it into sanitized thick bottles. So far so...

Bought a new keg/regulator from Kegconnection, sanitized it with StarSan, and promptly racked in my latest batch. Patiently waited while it carbed up and then poured lovely looking glass of beer. Sadly it, and several subsequent pours, had a such a metallic taste that I eventually dumped it...

In it to win it

5-LB Al CO2 tank from one of the sponsor deals . Now just need to obtain a regular and keg so I can kiss bottling good-bye!

A 5-gal Jerrican from US Plastics which I will put to use for no-chill wort. :rockin:

Daredevil is pretty slick imo.

Congrats to the winners.

Just finished bottling my Franken Tripel - started with 5-gal but after much sampling only had enough for 1 3/4 cases. If the weather holds, I'll be brewing my first Irish Red (all grain). Finally have all the equipment I need having completed a DIY wort chiller last week. Stoked! :ban:

Brewed the Brewer's Best Belgian Tripel on 11/30 (OG 1.081). The fermentation got stuck at 1.031 through 12/21. I read on these forums that this does sometimes happen with this kit. I checked around with brewers I knew and got a variety of responses: Stir it up, raise the temperature, add...

Great advice, especially the bit about relaxation.

My first all-grain just went into the mash tun. :ban: Nut Brown Ale.

Could you recommend a seller of rhizomes?

Wow its been a while since that last post, but now I've committed myself to brewing a batch. Have all the kit to brew an oatmeal stout (all grain) and just today bought a mini-fridge for a fermenter. It's a pretty tight fit for my 1-gal bucket. Figured I would start small until I get the hang of...

Wow, yes please :ban:

I've been interested in brewing for quite a while. Already a big fan of drinking beer. Really would like to start brewing. :mug: Todd
