I'm in. :)

Box said cab sav, and so did the little label from the store. Lodi Ranch 11, yes. (The price was like 120 at the time plus I had a coupon. Seemed too good to be true but I figured they seem legit.)

I just got my first wine kit in the mail and I think I've either gotten really unlucky or really screwed... I wanted to try wine rather than beer for once, so I ordered an Eclipse Cab Sav w/ grape skins kit from (removed because haven't talked to them yet) and it arrived today. The outer box...

So do I need to ground the kettle separately or is that accomplished via the power cord?

If I could only ventilate that...

I want it to be able to boil 13-14 gallons. Would an induction burner be able to do that?

Yeah I'm renting though so I can't do an outdoor panel or rewire anything, plus I want it to be portable and all that jazz. I'm not sure whether my new apartment has a 3 prong or a 4 prong dryer outlet yet, as I couldn't pull it out to check when I took a tour. All I'm looking to do right now is...

I'm doing a single kettle, 1 rubbermaid cooler for HLT, 1 rubbermaid cooler for MLT all grain electric system (because as people on this forum have suggested, propane is way more expensive and annoying to use than electricity (after the initial setup...)). I have a 15 gallon blichmann kettle (G1...

Yeah I just picked up an MLT rubbermaid cooler with a bazooka screen for $40, an O2 system for $30, a lightly used 15 gallon boilermaker gen 1 for $220, 3 carboys for $60, and a bunch of random junk like a refractometer, hydrometers, scale, etc. to round up to $400. Craigslist is awesome. EDIT...

Yeah a friend of mine has a boilermaker and I feel like it's justifiable. Plus if I ever buy a house and build a Kal clone brewery in it I'll already have 1 of the three I'd need. There's a guy near me in VA selling a 15 gallon boilermaker, 3 carboys, mash tun, 2 propane tanks, a bayou 15 gallon...

Was going to get a 20 gallon so I could do 5 gal or 10 gal batches.

So I've got all the gear to do 5 gallon partial boil extract batches, including a 40' 1/2" OD immersion chiller. Almost everything I'll need to convert to propane and all grain will need to be purchased. I also want to convert to kegging because bottling sucks, build myself a keezer, and convert...

Okay so I can just dry hop in primary? Thanks yall that saves a ton of effort :P

Using dry danstar nottingham, so just pitch it in, wait half an hour, and stir, as per the directions? And that makes sense, I'm assuming I still need an airlock for my secondary as opposed to just a sealed lid? (I'm in a 2 story apartment and only have 1 usable arm for a few months, so no...

Would using 2 packets of yeast be easier or should I just take like 2 OZ of light DME and use that to make a 1 pack starter? Also when dry hopping how important is it to not have headspace? I have a 7-8 gallon primary fermenter and a 6 gallon secondary (both buckets). Do I need to snag a 5...

I posted this on the extract forum but I figured it makes sense to put it here as well. I want to make the extract version of this IPA recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/dogf...extract-25709/ "DFH clone Batch Size: 5.00 gal Boil Size: 2.5 gal Estimated OG: 1.072 SG...

Nevermind, put it in the beginner section and got some help.

So I have this on day 6 of primary and had a few questions regarding the PB2. It seems a lot of people recommend sanitizing the peanut butter before adding it to the fermenter? Is this necessary or should I just sanitize my secondary bucket, dump in the PB2, and then rack the primary onto it...

I've got a brewer's best smoked porter in primary right now, on monday it will have been in there for 2 weeks. Is that too early to bottle it if the FG readings are good tomorrow and monday? I'm planning another brew for next monday as well, so if it is too early to bottle I need to know...

Roger on the hydrometer usage, planning on giving it 2.5 weeks before I open it (patience) but this one I'm a tad confused on... Do you mean like take a mallet or a hammer and hit the bottom of the pot a little without damaging it? EDIT: it's a stainless steel 5 gallon pot.
