    IC build

    1) Yep. 2) I would test it. Boil some water, drop it in for 15 minutes, then flush the inside out.

    Using a Chest Freezer as a Ferment chamber?

    +1. I also have the power wires to my computer fan that circulates air in mine set the same way. Saw no need to cut anything.

    question about batch sparge using cooler MLT

    Argh. One of these days I will learn all of these terms.

    question about batch sparge using cooler MLT

    Wouldn't the grain drop your strike temp? In other words, if your strike temp is 162 and THEN you drop your grains in, wouldn't your temp drop a few degrees and you would be mashing lower?

    How's this Grizzly Grain Crusher look?

    51 pages. Can you tell me approximately (or better, link to) where the info is for the tweaks that need to be made?

    When is that yeast active on the stir-plate...?

    I got condensation with straight water when I was testing my homemade stir plate. As I have only made my first yeast starter, I was wondering the same question. FWIW, mine looked like the starter on the right in this video. http://www.youtube.com/user/jpboileau#p/a/u/1/WvrUkqWAwYs

    4th time's the charm?

    No, I am not. I understand the reasoning. I have tried before, though. What I didn't like is that the trub kept floating instead of falling to the bottom.

    Strong enough initial fermentation?

    Been using one of these for years. Turn it on when I need it, otherwise it is off. Since I am a stoner, any water I drink is filtered. PUR Water Filter

    4th time's the charm?

    Yep, now that I look at my notes, I had the gravity readings wrong in my head. 1.046 to a 1.054. I agree my IC won't chill below what the ground water temp is, but I would be happy with boiling to 90 in 20 minutes. I went from boiling to 100 in 45. Then again, after doing some shopping, I think...

    4th time's the charm?

    My first two batches were LME kits with specialty grains. They came out "okay". Not much flavor, not much body. A friend showed me the ropes with my first batch, the second was solo. Okay, my third batch (first all-grain) came out very nasty smelling and tasting during/after fermentation...

    WTB - Ranco Controller

    When you include the $9.95 shipping, that is not true. Here's a price that is $1.89 more expensive on the starting price, but the shipping is free. I bought two from here and the experience was most excellent...

    +1. And I bottle on the open dishwasher door. If there are any drips or spills, when I am done I just fill up the dishwasher and wash some dishes. Picture below is my first capped bottle of homebrew. You can see the other bottles on the toweled floor ready to cap as well as the milk carton I...

    Want to keg? Do it NOW!!!

    I follow the 40/20/serve rule. Pressurize at temp to 40PSI for 24 hours. Pressurize at 20 for 24 hours. Pressurize to serve pressure for 48 hours. Drink. Drink. Drink. Drunk.
