    That's a good idea. Thanks for the tip! I don't see any options to submit classified ads on the Stars and Stripes website though. Maybe I should keep looking?

    Can I use this cooler for mashing?

    I'm really sorry I couldn't reply sooner, things in general got really crazy/busy soon after I posted so I couldn't make time. I really, really appreciate the advice. I haven't been able to look at the Japanese cooler so I don't know how well it would retain heat. As luck would have it, I was...

    Can I use this cooler for mashing?

    Good day, I'm looking make the move from all extract to partial mash brewing. I'd like to try to make a lautering system using a camping cooler, but the problem is that there are not a lot of options in terms of actual coolers to choose from. (I live in Japan). At the local hardware store...

    Brownish powdery Kent Golding pellet hops--normal?

    I was afraid to open the package before, but I finally did today. Wow, one wiff and I gagged. I understand what you mean by the cheese smell. Like hoppy rancid cheese. Well, I suppose that this was a good experience in a way because now I know what rancid hops smell like firsthand. BTW, the...

The beer didn't taste bad at all, so I thought that I was in good shape. Fast forward to today, bottling day. The beer gravity measured in at...

    Brownish powdery Kent Golding pellet hops--normal?

    Greetings! I need a second opinion on some pellet hops that I recently purchased on-line from a homebrew shop. The hops were of the Kent Golding variety, and were imported from the UK by the homebrew shop. When I received the hops the color was totally brown/yellow and the pellets themselves...

    Strong enough initial fermentation?

    > Does the airlock "chirp" at all? Since you already had krausen I don't think you have too much to worry about. You could do an SG reading to see how far along it is. Did you take an OG? The fermenter is in a kind of out of the way area, so I've only been checking it once or twice a day for...

    Strong enough initial fermentation?

    A few days ago I tried brewing my first batch of beer ever. I read John Palmer's "How to Brew" from cover to cover, so for the most part I likely did everything the "right" way. However, one thing has been nagging at me, and that is that I'm not sure whether or not I was able to get a strong...
