"I understand. I just dont care about buying bulk 2 row to make stuff a for less. really has nothing to do with bush beer." What??? I'm confused....

Have you used any of these before? I'm thinking about ordering one...

I spent 40 on a cooler, 40 on the braid/valve combo and that was it. Probably not the cheapest I could have done either. But not too bad.

The consensus here it seems is 5-8 weeks in primary with no secondary...i find 8 weeks a little long and hard to wait. I check around 6 weeks and go from there.

A IIPA would seem to me to need more than a month...never made one but that seems like a young brew to be concerned about already.

Man...2G's would be killer....electric setup with all sorts of gizmos. I'd get a few different kettle sizes for different batch sizes too. Also a few more taps...

i c wut u did ther

temp was around 65...I'm sure the priming solution added a degree or 2. Gravity was stable for 5 days leading up. My only guess is that the yeast found some sugars and got back to work.

So that was too much you think?

So today I had 4 bottle bombs...no biggie, I get that its part of the hobby (although they were my 1L swing tops :( ). The only thing is, the gravity at bottling was 1.012...I feel like that shouldn't happen. My first thought would be wrong priming solution mixture, but I used 2/3 c priming...

whoops...darnit!!!

$50???? still have one left?

Thats like playing beer roulette!!! Good luck...it might turn out really good! Or really bad....

thanks for the advice and encouragement! I crushed my grains at Northern Brewer using whatever setting their crusher is. I figured they just had it set right, because I never see anyone else adjusting it. Is their a particular setting I should try next time?

Also, fermcap worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help!

Went round 2 today with your suggestions...went a little better. OG was way way low. Supposed to be 1.053, clocked in at 1.039...I don't think it was a mash problem, my tun didn't drop a degree in the hour it rested. I did however collect about a gallon more than I needed, (didn't boil off as...

So should I keep recirculating until it clears up? Stirring didn't help, will try the spray bottle next time. Also less heat.

Yesterday I took the plunge and dove in. Made myself a tun and attempted to make a clone of EdWorts' Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale. I need some critiquing if anyone cares to help. Here is what I did. 1. Preheat tun, dough in at 164, rested around 154-153 for an hour. 2. Vorlauf, problem...

Count me in.
