We have two brew systems, why not three?

In my experience irish moss is overrated. Having said that I still use im derived whirlflock in every batch 10-3 gallon i've brewed including extract... I would assume that an extract beer would not get much benefit and any lack of clarity is coming from post ferment. I would add a cold crash...

I use plastic lids on mason jars. I usually put plastic wrap on first. In the past I’ve used just metal ring with plastic wrap.

I've never noticed much issues with shortened mashes. I probably should plan to do them as I get distracted all the time or wait for things to come up to temp and it turns out to be 45 min anyway. I usually do short boils for "bonus" beers (second runnings and what not) without any noticeable...

I definitely understand the draw of bottling and it has many perks I sometimes miss. There is something about holding back a couple and letting them ride out time. Having said that, I am too lazy to go back. Too much time and extra stuff to worry about. I kept saving bottles after moving to...

Currently 4-5 hours on a 6.5 Anvil Foundry (2.5 gallonish batches). I'm still perfecting the process and can probably get that under 3 brewing time, with .5 prep the day before. I have been able to make 10 gallons in 5 hours on my propane/cooler/batch sparge system (with decent chilling water...

I use rubbermaid gasketed dog food containers. I think 60#. I have one I dump a bag of base malt in and another I keep bags of specialty malts. Never had a bug issue. A mouse got to the sample of planting barley I got stored in an open container above them, but they weren't touched.

yes, MDHB is the shop I use.

I'm another Mr. Beer user. I bought to make with my brother. I did that for a while until I realized there was a local HBS that I could go to and make better beer cheaper.

Hi all. I'm a 20+ year homebrewer who is trying to get motivated to do more frequent brewing. Recently bought an Anvil Foundry 6.5 to advance that goal. My main system has been a 72qt coleman cooler batch sparge system that I usually do 10 gallons on. I always seem to talk myself out of only...

Ive filled up the crisper drawer in my kegerator with beer too many times closing the door and activating the "extra tap"

Iodophor not iodine

I’m pretty sure iodine use in brewing was borrowed from dairy industry so I can’t see why not. I’d also say bleach solutions are a good idea and that’s what I did before star San.
