I like AustinHomeBrew.com, but have bought from numerous others with little or no complaint. I like Austin's system for ordering grains, sorted by grain bill. It makes it easy to order stuff for 2 or more brew days and not have to worry about mixing things up or getting confused...well, more...

Yes

Nope. Boil as long as you need to obtain OG/volume target. May alter your hops strategy though.

Why not grab a different yeast and go for ale temps?

I use this one in a 15 gallon pot. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/nylon-extra-large-straining-bag-2-x-3-coarse-mesh.html

I've seen 1 story with pictures where that has happened. The laws of physics leads to water or moisture trapped inside...or some other gas as a possible explanation. Air alone will not expand enough to build the pressure needed to burst the material. It just cannot happen.

The scientific laws of temperature and pressure of a gas say that drilling holes is a waste of time. Your tubing would need to be in a molten state before there was enough internal pressure to deform it, let alone burst.

I use 6 gallon better bottles for fermenting and don't use a secondary at all. I have an IPA going right now that I dry hopped yesterday (after a week) so, I now call it "secondary" and will leave it rest for at least 2 more weeks...then I'll drop the temp and cold crash for a couple of days...

Ahh...pumpkin beers. I am curious along similar but different lines. I desire a rich, sweet, flavor packed beer...pumpkin/allspice and the like. However, I broke my right arm 5 weeks ago and haven't been able to brew anything because of my limited physical capabilities. I'm about two weeks...

As Charlie said in the book...Relax Don't Worry, Have a Home Brew!

just get some Star-San and forget the rest. The price is right and you won't be disappointed.

Sounds like 1/8" wall to me...

From http://www.propane101.com/carbonmonoxideandpropane.htm Properly functioning propane appliances will produce what is called an "ideal burn" during combustion and present no danger of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It goes on to describe in such a manner that I would not hesitate to brew in...

If you want low cost and don't mind a little DIY, search the forums for the eBay Aquarium Temperature Controller. For about $40 you can make a nice unit...less if you already have a few bits and pieces laying around.

I use this handy dandy calculator http://beerreviewdude.com/biab-calculator/ and then drain and dunk my bag a few times to provide a reasonable rinse of the grain at the end of mashing. Seems to work fine and my final wort volume has been pretty close to my target.

You could do something like this http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/5hpr30-high-pressure-propane-regulator-kit.htm I have one and the needle valve works quite nicely.

Sure...just need a temp controller. The ebay aquarium model is pretty popular and the whole enchilada might set you back $40.

Start with this handy dandy water volume calculator...then you may feel the need to keep an eye out for a bigger pot. I use a 60q Bayou Classic...which came with a wonderful strainer basket. The basket eliminates the worries that some have about the bag burning on the bottom of the pot or...

The new Macbook Air has a touchpad that is awesome. Light tap anywhere to click. Two finger touch anywhere for right click. Two fingers up or down anywhere to scroll. All this from a guy who was windows only until the macbook arrive via Fedex yesterday.
