    Illinois Brewing equipment all grain (Chicago)

    I have someone stopping by tonight for the kettle. If that falla through first in line will get it. I will get my lazy ass down to the basement and get the hops out of the freezer tonight to give you all a list. Sorry for the delay but life is busy, that's why I need to sell. :)

    Illinois Brewing equipment all grain (Chicago)

    As for the model I'm not sure. It one of the base models with the standard burner.

    Illinois Brewing equipment all grain (Chicago)

    For the hops I gotta get in the freezer I'll do it shortly. As for the burner you would be better off getting it from amazon for the free shipping as it's quite hefty. That said if you want to pay the shipping I'll box it up. :)

    I'm in elmwood park near Harlem and grand. FYI Notice though the plate has no stir bar so you'll need to get one.

    Boiling how long is too long

    Well I can confirm the extra long boil had no negative impact on the flavor of the beer. It has all mellowed out and taste great. That long of a boil did have a major impact on color but its still quite nice, turned the beer a very dark amber color.

    Boiling how long is too long

    Yea even Beersmith will make the wrong calculations if you select the wrong equipment and don't notice until your kettle is full and you still have 1.5 gallons or wort remaining. ;)

    Boiling how long is too long

    This is an imperial ipa mid to high stats for the style. Pre boil gravity was way off. Post boil I was a little short of my mark. But in hindsight this should have been expected given the extra 2 gallons of wort I had to boil off. I use a burner now and was outside on a very dry 12 degree day...

    Boiling how long is too long

    I made an IIPA last weekend and messed up my water measurements. This of course caused a domino effect on SG and other things. My solution was to boil it down to the correct volume and then start my hop schedule. This all seemed to go well except I boiled for a total of 180 minutes. What...

    Bottling/priming question

    Ok Thanks. I guess I just needed some re-assurance that I didn't destroy my beer. Haven't been at this long and I guess I am getting the jitters. I will wait the perscribed 30 days for this to finish before I shed any tears. :)

    Bottling/priming question

    Thanks for the replies. It wasnt sweet after secondary but it was after the priming sugar was added, which is why I thought I added too much. The floaties are acctually settled out already but if I even so much as pick a bottle up they go flyin', and they look kinda gross tbh. I didnt...

    Bottling/priming question

    So I have a question. I bottled about two weeks ago. My recipe called for the full 5 oz of priming sugar. Things seem to be going as expected but for one issue. When I bottled this beer was crystal clear but now there is a substantial amount of varying sized particulate in there. Is this just...

    5 Day Sweet Country Cider

    Well I only let mine get to about 44 or so. At that point I was a little pressed for time and I knew I wouldn't be given any quarter by this stuff. Bottled at 44 with full fermentation going and was petrified for the next three hours. I am not sure who posted the hint but definitely put you...

    5 Day Sweet Country Cider

    Well I started this one last night with the addition of .5 lb brown and 1 lb white sugar. Started with a gravity of 1.078, going to try and get it to 40 or so and crash it. Then bottle and pasteurize just in time for the weekend. Yay and thanks for fast cider recipe!

    5 Day Sweet Country Cider

    I am planning on taking a swing at this recipe this weekend. I have one question, I am using a 6.5 g carboy as my primary and wonndered how much head space I will need for all the lively yeast activity. To be more specific if I were to make this a 6 gallon batch would the .5 gallon head space...
