Count me in for sure!! :tank:

These are the coolest paddles I've ever seen. Put my name in the hat as I could certainly use one!

Actually, at this time I was mostly batch sparging and did this mash at 154F for 60 min. Cheers, Tim

Everyone, I am working on putting together a single tier brew rig. I have three kettles and one pump so far. I would like to avoid buying another pump if possible. Please give me your honest input on the attached design. I just know I am missing something. Probably the logic of the pumping...

Hey, I friend of mine sent me this issue. "I'm a pure extract brewer at this time. I feel that I have been highly successful (tasty end product) with the Brewers Best and Northern Brewer kits. However, I'm puzzled that I cannot seem to achieve the specified OG values. I just brewed a BB...

Actually, the Muntons is just the regular so I guess I'll use the Nottingham. Thanks for the help!:tank:

Hey, I have an ESB recipe that calls for Safale US-04. Any idea what a substitute might be? I have several dry yeasts at the house and was hoping I could substitute. In house: Safale US-05 Danstar Nottingham Muntons Coopers(1pkg) Danstar Munich Safbrew T-58 I was thinking maybe...

OK, so I've always had pretty good luck producing clear brews. However, this time I have a Nut Brown that just won't clear up. Even crash cooling didn't help much. Since the brew store is like 100 miles away I was wondering if I can use unflavored geletin from the store. Pectin I believe its...

OK, thanks everyone. I kinda thought roasting all the grains might not be the best idea. Didn't know the technicals of why roasting would hurt but now I know. Thanks, Cheers!

Actually, I took several readings cause I just couldn't believe it. I also use a refractometer to check the brix which also showed a crazy low OG. On like the third day of fermentation I saw zero activity so I figured something was wrong with my starter for some reason so I added some...

Gents, I did a Nut Brown the other day where I roasted the grains to get a nuttier flavor added. Got my first stuck sparge but also ended up with a really crappy OG like 1.020. Here's the recipe: 6 gallon batch. Amount Item Type % or IBU 10.00 lb Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 72.73 %...

Yep, that's what I've been doing. Just wondered if there was something closer to the southeast. thanks

Hey, Anyone know where I can get bulk grains at a reasonable price in the Southest? You know, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, etc... Say 500-2000#'s at a time? $50-70 for a 55# bag just isn't going to cut it. Thanks, Tim

OK, so I'm tired of the immersion chiller and the time it takes to chill my brews. While I am only doing 5 gallon batches I still would like to reduce the cool time and will likely be doing 10 gallon batches in the future. So, I am wondering if it is really worth $100 more for the Terminator...

Can someone recommend a digital pH meter. The paper just isn't working out well. I was hoping I could find a good one in the $30-40 range but not sure about which ones are good and/or what to look for.:confused:

Looks like I was the lucky one. I ordered mine on 3/16/09. For some reason 2 arrived yesterday and one more is scheduled for today. Sorry if I put you guys out for this kettle. I've been waiting a long time and searching for a good kettle w/o the high cost I've seen with other kettles and...

Bummer, maybe I got the last three they had in stock.

I just ordered 3 of the 60qt ones and they are without a doubt perfect for brewing. While they may not be the highest gauge alluminum they are very sturdy and would work for most any brewer. They are much thicker than any turkey fryer you will find. I have beening doing AG's for about 1.5...

Yep, that's what I was thinking. I have looked around a little at this point for any kind of grants that might help with this as I pretty much have zero capital at this point. I'm sure I can however find some investors but was hoping I could acquire most of what I needed without owing anyone...

Well, working in a brewery sounds like an excellent way to gain some exposure to the business. The only problem I see with that is that I currently have a full time job and live in the sticks of TN. Unfortunately TN doesn't really have many breweries either so there's not many opportunities for...
