Thanks for the input guys. Went ahead and got a 10 gal aluminum stock pot w/ lid. Figured I'd just end up upgrading later if I went with anything smaller.

Great, thanks for the tip. I almost overlooked rice hulls. Do you have the recipe for your pumpkin beer posted on HBT?

Thanks for the tips Revvy..I wasn't even aware of the push-button safety mechanism.

I wanted to make a Pumpkin Ale. This is the all-grain recipe I wanted to try. Let me know if you see anything fundamentally wrong with it. Comments/Criticism welcome. Batch size: 5.0 gallons General Info Original Gravity 1.068 (1.061 to 1.071) Final Gravity 1.023 (1.020 to 1.024)...

So I took a little hiatus from brewing and am excited to finally be getting back into it. I used to just brew mini-mash in my kitchen on the stovetop in a 5 gal pot but want to expand my horizons. I will be brewing 5 gal AG batches, and would be interested to know if the following would be a...

Just got back from London, I have a must-see pub for you! The Old Bank of England. Absolutely beautiful old bank turned into a pub. Its near the Royal Courts of Justice so a lot of suit/ties, but nice/casual dress is acceptable. Old Bank of England Pub, Holborn, London - Traditional and...

Good for you! A couple bottling sessions were enough for me....then I ran out and got a 5 gal corny keg setup. Loving it!

You'll be fine, just chill out and relax :) I doubt you did any damage with the 80 degree pitch, its not optimal but yeast are tough little guys. Only thing you need to worry about is fermenting at consistently high temps (like 80 degrees), which can produce off flavors.

Old thread, I know...but... Any reason why you couldn't add that second pound of dextrose when using the Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen Yeast? It has a tolerance of 10%...so is getting 8.5% out of the question?

Brewed 2 batches (5 gallons/each) so far...love it That brings the total to 13,211.5.

I made apfelwein the other day, and without thinking used a packet of dry yeast that had been sitting in my Arizona (very hot) garage for a month. After 24 hours I didn't notice any activity...and assumed I'd just killed it. Then I wake up this morning and notice something unusual. The...

I just got back from a month-long vacation and I found a packet of dry Montrachet Wine YEast that had been sitting in a brewing bucket in the garage (1 month old). I live in AZ and temps get up to 110 degrees so the garage could have been 120 or so. Would that kill the dry yeast? I just...

Thanks, appreciate your help!

Im excited to do the following recipe, which according to the brewer is meant to produce 4.25 gallons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Grains 4.00 lbs. 2-Row Pale Malt 1.75 lb. Wheat Malt 1.00 lb. Flaked Wheat 1.00 lb. 6-Row Pale Malt 6.00 oz...

I have a batch of Edwort's Haus Ale in the primary. I am planning on kegging and then brewing another identical batch on the same day. Can I just pour the new batch right into the carboy that I just emptied in a keg? Somewhere I read to use a quart jar and not to pour directly onto the whole...

I was going to brew Edwort's Haus Pale Ale and have all of the ingredients, but somehow had a brainfart and got Willamette hops instead of Cascade. I know Cascade are the thing to use for American Pale Ales...but... Should I make another trip to the HBS? What will the flavor differences be?

Awesome, thanks guy! So many options. I cannot wait to try out the keg setup I just bought on this next batch!

Hey there, summer is approaching quickly here in AZ (it was upwards of 90 today). Please post your recipes for the lightest, most drinkable, most refreshing summer beer you've made. I'm looking for something that I can get in the glass relatively quickly and hopefully 5.0+ Abv. Cheers! :mug:

I have the option to get a hold of a sixth barrel keg (the person also called it a torpedo keg?). It looks kinda like the traditional 5 gal soda keg, and is supposed to hold 5.16 gallons. (See link) http://www.micromatic.com/images/articles/11/Kegs-new.jpg Will it be easy to fill for...

Give or take it should be 6.55% ABV by now...right where it should end up.
