The stirring like mad, to break up any dough balls. I found some tubing in my "beer kit cemetary" and will put that on the spigot. Thanks everyone, starting the strike water now.. :)

Gents/Ladies, First all grain this weekend. I have been doing PMs for a bit now. Please let me know if my steps are on/off etc. I apologize for my format. I feel like a newbie again! Worried about everything! I have a 10g MLT cooler setup: 1- Heat strike water to beersmith calcs 2-...

Nothing to say but "congrats!", enjoy your new affliction, er...hobby. yeah, hobby....:)

well i did it. I dumped in 2oz and then 10g of water. Foam, yes, it was sputtering through the taps etc. It is a lot quicker then bleaching, rinsing, rinsing, rinsing. I love me some star san!

This might get moved. I am de-winterizing my trailer today at the same time I am sanitizing kegs. I was thinking starsan would be perfect for the water lines in my trailer. I typically use bleach/water then flush a bunch of times. Does anyone see an issue with this? thx...May long is...

30psi for about 36hrs, then to serving. seems fine for me. Watch out for slow leaks on the keg/connections.

Thanks Yooper! The name of this brew will be "MUsky Brown", as my buddy is from Usk in wales. Really, he broke my "yellow fizzy" beer cherry...oh, that sounded odd! He, and his wife/newborn, are here next week! Big Surprise for me!

I am an extract/PM guy and here is the scoop. I have a buddy who I met when travelling europe back 19 years ago and he is relocating to Oz. He let me know the other day he is coming over for an extended stay at my place...no issues, BUT I need a few English ale recipes that can finish (boil...

Is it okay to ferment a 2.5g batch in a 5g carboy? Or doe head space become a concern?

Mountain song - Janes Addiction

An update - yeah, f her. I bought another side of sirloin at costco on the weekend. Then a few round steaks to throw in the slow cooker. Some of my aunt in laws are yoga-borderline vegans...which drives me nuts. Why are eggs and fish okay and beef is not....anyhow...thanks to my breathren...

Crap, forgot to add. the PETA comment came from my aunt in law..."how can I raise a couple of kids addicted to flesh". The only saving grace, if be, was that she voiced this in private.

I am a big red meat fan. Tonight we had a nice roast with potatos, yams, carrots, bread and polished it off with a nice ipa. Now, my kids love this (5 and 7 are their ages). I fear I am raising politically incorrect kids. Howver after a nice red meat meal i feel great. More energy, more stamina...

double bag it...and go drive over it a few times. Bring back inside and rolling pin it a few times. WARNING - double bag it like a sailor on shore leave!

Red Racer IPA....

My favorite Canadian craft brew, Red Racer IPA. And...a Stone Ale clone and a Melbec I dig. Happy New Years to all! I hope all the HBT members hit it out of the park in 2012!!!

Great job. I need to drop 20lbs after starting this new hobby.....me thinks we should have a biggest loser thread.

....of course I wait for the hot break. Or maybe I should have the SWMO watch it :)

Just an easy APA today. Almost done the boil. Also on Monday I will be brewing some sort of IPA. Time off = build pipeline!

Well, that is what I was hoping for....now I can read HBT while boiling. Cheers!
