So, I was getting ready to bottle my latest batch. I boiled the water and corn sugar mixture and was letting it cool when...BAM...I tweaked my lower back. :( It is OK to put the mixture into a sanitized canning jar for a few days when I am ready to bottle? John

Do you find that you do not need to crush your grains as fine since you really are mashing in a more traditional fashion? I have been contemplating moving from no sparge to pour sparge to avoid having to crush my grains so fine in the hopes that I would avoid so much trub. Also, check this...

I'll preface all of this with the following: 1. Cost of an airlock is not included. However, if you have some 1/2" OD vinyl tubing lying around, you can just shove that into the grommet and use it as a blow off tube. 2. You can do all of this for $.50 total cost if you don't mind...

Do any of you line your fermenter with your BIAB bag to do this? I was always fearful that removing too much trub could hurt the character of the beer but the mroe I read I am finding that is not the case. I know some of you will say that you don't want the extra work or that you don't care...

I'm thinking of picking up a Coronal style mill to do my own crushing. I know that there are some things that should/need to be done to get a fine, consistent crush. Can someone elaborate? I remember one mod was about adding washers somewhere. TIA! John

After a year and a half hiatus I am back to brewing. :) Anyway, I just ordered by bag from wilser and a new kettle from...of all places...Staples (see here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f16/update-international-60-qt-induction-ready-stainless-steel-stock-pot-w-cover-149-a-471100/). Now I...

Thought this may be of some interest to some of you. I saw it posted elsewhere that these pots are essentially the same as MegaPots. Staples has the Update International 60 Qt Induction Ready Stainless Steel Stock Pot w/Cover for $148.99 with free site-to-store shipping. This is a better...

UPDATE: Bad planning on my part. I will be out of town on the day the auction ends and won't be home until Tuesday April 24th. We will need to arrange pickup accordingly, or, if you really want the items prior I can leave everything with my neighbor and you can pick up there (2 houses...
