We're in it to win it!! Smashville all the way! Rinne is on his game tonight, and Bridgestone is EXPLODING.

Yeah, I really couldn't believe it happened. The place was VERY apologetic (as they should be). I've never had the feeling of not being able to breathe before, besides underwater. It was one of the scariest moments of my life so far. Either way, the tank is full, the clicking is gone, and I have...

I went to fill up my co2 tank for the first time at the place I bought it. The guy who was filling it up said that he had never done it before, but that it shouldn't be too hard. He filled it up, I paid and left. About 10 minutes away from home, BOOOM!! All the co2 came pouring into the car. It...

I second this. I got my sarter kit from them as well. I thought their website looked a little sketchy at first, so I called them. Really nice guys and very helpful. Definitely a good company to order from.

I have a bucket of damprid in there. Not helping too much. The swiffer worked for now! Thanks!

So, before I built my keezer, I noticed some condensation where the cooling lines run. After installation, it's still there, but I am now unable to reach it because the collar is attached to the base, not the lid. I know this seems stupid, but I can't figure out a good way to remove the moisture...

The tube is clear and the adjuster is wide open. Anything else it could be? The beer is bubbling away as we speak!!

Brewed this today! First BIAB!!

Here's the run down of my brew day from the notes I took. I'll post the tree pictures I took as well. First I cleaned everything. Then I added 6.5 gallons of water to my turkey fryer pot. I put that on the burner and started it up. For some reason I could only get a yellow flame today. Not...

Brew turned out great! Nailed the 1.040 from the recipe perfectly. I took a few pictures and will make a post with my notes and whatnot probably tomorrow. In short, the methods listed above work great. I mashed 6.5 gallons for an hour. Then poured enough water to reach my desired 6.5 gallons for...

I understand completely now. Thank you for all of your help. I think my brew day will go very smoothly now. :mug: Posts like this help none. I understand that it takes a few times to figure out your system. Going into a brew without any understanding of how it will go just to figure out the...

I like what I hear here. If I mash with say, 7 gallons, with my grain absorbtion at .2 gal/pound, it will leave me with 5.25 gallons. Then sparge 1.25 gallons, it should leave me with a final boil volume of 6.5 gallons. Is this math correct? Also, how do you measure the volume needed for the...

I tried that, but I'm not really understanding what the calculators are saying. Also, my pot size is limited and I don't know if sparging is necessary as well as how much. If there is a calculator for this, please let me know and I will use it because I'm starting to freak out a little bit, haha!

I see what you're saying now. So if I mash with 7 gallons (28 quarts), requiring 7.7 gallons (30.7 quarts), it will yield 6 gallons (24 quarts) after the mash? Sparge with .5 gallons to reach 6.5 and boil away. I understand the concept, but the math is still a little fuzzy to me. If the grain...

Here's my concern. 7.88 gallons of water heated to 150 F per recipe. Add grains at .2 gal per pound of grain, you get 9.63 gallons. My pot is only 8.75 gallons max. Does the calculator give me the total amount of water with or without grain? If I do 7 gallons of water, add the grains, that...

OK, I bought the ingredients for my first BIAB and I am having trouble with the calculations. I should have done all this first. I didn't even think about the pot size before buying the bag and ingredients (dumb, i know). I'm planning on brewing BM's Centennial Blonde, so I have 8.75 lbs of...

I'm considering fermenting in our basement as well, and its around the same temperature. SWMBO just bought me a brew belt from the lhbs and said this should fix it. After I came out of shock because she "stopped by the homebrew store because I was complaining about the temperature," I thought...

I'm working on filling up my keezer for the first time, and swmbo has requested a sweet cider. She is a big fan of Woodchuck. Does anyone have a good recipe that is close to that? What is the process of kegging a cider? Thanks for any help!! :mug:

BAHAHA, you are correct. :tank:
