I just picked up this cooler, which I wish to convert. I just wanted to run it by everyone here to make sure there aren't any major problems with it before I start to take it apart. Thanks for taking a look. Chris

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bfs/298121484.html I like how the description says it would be good for a "small batch"...

I know this isn't a big deal, but my hop bag opened and now my hops are loose in the brewpot. Should I try to devise some way of straining them out or should I just leave them be and let them fall to the bottom during fermentation/secondary. The brew is an IPA if that matters. Thanks in...

I feel kinda dumb asking this but is there a difference between dry and liquid malt extract (I know one is dry....). Can they be used interchangeably? Is one better than the other? Thanks

So I'm making a stout and the primary ferment went well and was at the proper temp. However, after I racked to secondary the temperature in my area dropped dramatically. I'm wondering if the temp during secondary is as crucial as it is during primary. Thanks...

I feel like a total newb, but I'm just wondering how much water to put into the airlock (3 piece)? I have it about 1/2 full....just wanted to make sure I wasn't totally screwing it up. Thanks!

I'm sure I'm just a paranoid noob, but I have to run my situation by the people here: I brewed a pale ale yesterday. I pitched the yeast at around 4pm. The temparature was and has remained at approximately 68 degrees. I came home around 2am and the bubbler was already going strong. I...
