Im not sure which way to go. I'm struggling to hit 5.5 gallons with the calcs. I'm thinking I'll wing it a bit with the existing grain bill and dilute to 6.5 gallons of needed.?

I spent a little more time looking at this today and here is where I sit. Does it seem appropriate? Im sure itll turn out drinkable at least. Partigyle Helles then Kolsch 18 lb 2 Row Pilsner 4 lb 8 oz Vienna 2 lb 12 oz Crystal 10 L Master batch Og 1.067 First Runnings 1.090...

OK guys been a while since I posted. Stepping up my all grain game. Im looking to create a parti-gyle recipe. Plan is for a split of Helles followed by Kolsch. Hoping for SG 1.066 on Helles and 1.048 and Kolsch. Grain Bill 18 lb 2 Row Pils 4 1/2 lb Vienna 2 3/4 Crystal 10 Beersmith...

I switched this to 5g batch and got Sg 1.071 and 48 IBU and 7.5 % ABV. when I put it in at 2.5 i got 1.142 and 59 ibu with 15% abv! I like a strong beer and all but I think im going the 5 Gallon route.

Looks great. Home bar plans.com? If so why mot put the fridge in when framing?

+1 for curlys bacon kit. Follow directions to a t and you will be fine. I typically cut out a portion of pork on the sausage recipoes as I like my stuff to tase like venison not pork. Here you need the fat. Its great. Mine came out too dry the first time so I grind it and make 50/50 burgers...

Great Bobby thanx and of course it seems to be worth waiting. Just have $$$ burnin a hole right now.

How much does Bobby's Kit cost? Site still down for the holliday rush. I may just order another one.

This ALSO REQUIRES HEAVIER WIRE AND A WHOLE NEW CIRCUIT CORRECT? Im not that worried about using these. Thats a bigger project than I need. But thanx for the info I had been thinking a little about how to create 220 and that cleared it up. PS no sale on ebay....35.00 takes em shipped.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Temperature-Controller-Thermostat-Aquarium-STC1000-Incubator-Cold-Chain-Temp-/190720138201?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c67ce5bd9 Exactly like this. they take 220 input but will switch 110vac apliances.

Temp controllers. Identical to stc 1000

So the ebay seller sent wrong ones and I cant get ahold of him for an exchange. I have two of these for sale. they are currently listed on EBAy for 35.00 for the pair. I dont know if anyone is interested in these as we most all have 110 service on the home. Any input on where else to list...

Planning my rims tube and controller based on the rims for dummies post. Question is....can I use galvanized? It's used for potable water.

Ok sounds cool as I to enjoy all of that from home cured meats to smoking and grilling fresh venison! Excited!

What happened to it? When Dawson and Keeler did the show it was every two weeks. It was a regular event for the wife and I as I'm still a new brewer (just over a year) and tons of great info. Now just once every 6 weeks or so. Lame!

I thought I wanted the same then I read the "rims for dummies" thread. Search it. Electric heater element way cheaper overall than propane waste IMO at least. It's simple too!

Something like this? From homebarolans.com. Key to cooling is air movement. Two PC fans in box on cold plate and two near compressor in back. Sorry www.homebarplans.com

Sounds like I need to go swamp cooler route! So i can still use ale yeast. I was curious cuz I've had some long slow fermentation a but I think that's due to higher(accidental) mash temps. And not ferment temps. Thanx for the help and keep advice coming.

In in northern Il. I don't mind brewing outside in cold temps and I'm still new to ag so I want to keep trying as each brew gets better. My ambient indoor temps seem to stay about 66 to 68 for fermentation. Haven't done any lagering yet. I've also heard about using lager yeasts in ale styles...
