Ooops! Thats what I ment. Sorry. Concerning the weight, i have a collender that fits in side the pot perfectly and plan on useing a hand wench to lift and drain. I can also buy a custom fit bag online. I was mainly worried about volumes and efficentcies.

I'm thinking of switching to biab method to save time and space. I have a 15 gallon pot and want to do 10 gallon batches. No more than a 20lb grain weight. What problems will i have doing this. I do it all the time with a 10 gallon cooler-sparge method. thanks

Example: After you have brewed and fermented and let it sit in carboy for 2 to 3 weeks and say the bitterness is not as high as you want it to be. Can you boil some hops(i.e. 1/2 oz in 1 gallon of water for and hour), let cool and add small amounts to carboy until desired taste is accomplished...

I set 2 kegs at 10 psi with one pale ale and one wheat beer for 3 weeks. They tasted delicious and were carbed nicely. Did not touch, change or drink them for 7 days. Poured many of beer and they are now foamy as hell and have a stronger alcohol taste. Any ideas of what went wrong, Thanks.

no. would have to wait a week for delivery.

Forgot to order rice hulls for a ten gallon batch of Head Scratcher IPA Weizen (12lb white wheat, 7lb rahr pils, 1.5lb carmel 40.) Should I get some, try it without or uses something else. Thanks

What do ya think?

Thanks, I ran a search but didn't phrase it right.

I've been brewing 10 gallon batches but always lower gravity beers. Usually 14 to 18 pounds of grain per batch with 1.25 quarts of water per lb. Has anyone maxed out the limit of a 10 gallon mash tun useing 1.25 gallons per pound of grain? Just wondering how big of a beer you can make with out...

Finished!!!

SWMBO loves the stuff and I can quite make it. Any ideas for an allgrain clone batch. Thanks!!

I agree, my LHBS is 100 miles away. The savings do add up and I feel like i'm killing perfectly good yeast that have worked so hard to make me great beer without asking anything in return:)

It has been in the fridge. I won't be able to brew again until Christmas day and my pipeline is in shambales. Wait, I just relized that I have a some dry coopers yeast (15g) in my inside fridge. Does anyone see a problem with using this. It has a best before date of 10/07/12 and it been in the...

I was planning on brewing a beer tonight but I forgot to make my starter yesterday. I'm making NB extra pale ale (0.045). I have washed us-05 yeast, about 1/2 inch in an a pint jar that is 3 weeks old. I made a starter a couple weeks back for a Irish red ale and it was fine. Should I delay my...

The Beer tasted much better in the first half for some reason.

Good luck! I hope it is a good game and even if yall do lose you will still play in the national title game. Cheers!!

The original gravity was 1.040, Final gravity was 1.005 after 14 days. I used washed Safle-05 and made a starter for it. Fermented @ 68 degrees. It tasted good when I kegged it, little malty but I think that is the style of the beer( my first ever red ale). I kegged it yesterday w/ 30 lbs psi...

I think i will add some, I'm sure I have some laying around some where, as long as I don't over tighten, it should hurt any thing.
