they will probably need to be sanitized.

Great deal but you can never sanitized wood ever, short of burning it.

Make a `bug beer(lambic style)

A high proof spirit would work as they likely won't be completely wild. They held cask strength spirits prior to being sold.

Holy crap. I pitched a 1qt starter of WLP029 White Labs Kolsch into 5 gal of 1.049 wort on Sat and it fermented out and the hydro sample tasted clean and read 1.012 last night. Pitched at 68F and fermented around 65-66F. I thought Kolsch yeast would take longer.

I was gonna lager this beer for 2 weeks or so (its a Negra Modelo clone using Kolsch yeast) after a week or two primary, but I guess I can go ahead and drop the temp down now instead of waiting any longer.

Also, if anybody spots any corny kegs for sale, I'd love a head's up. I talked to that dude in Ocala who had the post on craigslist about all the homebrew gear, but he didn't have any regular corny's left. Just some crazy **** he said was from NASA or something. Weird.

Hey guys, I just found this thread. I'm a very new brewer located in Gainesville (Off University Rd, .5 miles from Hoggetowne).

I went through about 10 pages of this thread, but it's huge!!

Going to be doing my first 5 gallon batch after this weekend with some new equipment I picked up off Midwest!

 

[chefchris]

Welcome! If you ever stop by the shop you'll probably meet at least 2 of us at a time.

Spotted what might be a possible fermentation fridge for $45 on Craigslist:

Not sure if its big enough, but looks like it is from the pic. Just got mine up and running but if anyone needs one, you should check it out.

Maybe for size reference??

 

[ghpeel]

It would be funny to have like a fake severed head or something in the fridge for the photo.

 

[mullenite]

Any one know of any pinlocks that might be for sale locally?

 

[chefchris]

barron has at least one he might sell you.

Kraig in the house!

Two Primaries are in, and I'm hungry for more. I was talking with Felipe, and I think I'm gonna do a few half-batchs for fun on stovetop. Got any favorite recipe's Chris or Flip?

 

[mullenite]

This is an IPA I really like, won the shop contest last month.

Smells like "lovely cat piss" and tastes like "Hop bomb. Citrus explosion." According to Chris. I brewed it as a half batch because it would be kind of expensive to do a full batch.

4.5# Marris Otter
4oz C-60
2oz Honey Malt

1# Briess Golden Light DME

.5oz Simcoe @ FWH
.5oz Amarillo @ 20
.5oz Simcoe @ 5
.5oz Amarillo @ KO

.25oz Sweet Orange Peel @ 5 (Why not?)

Dry hop for 7 days with 1oz Citra and 1/2oz each Simcoe and Amarillo

Fermented with Nottingham @ 65ish.

Mash at 155 for 90 minutes.

Tastes good.

 

[chefchris]

^ that was a really good beer.

What style you shooting for Kraig?

 

[TheDrunkenRancor]

Looks interesting, although I'm not sure about the lovely cat piss part!

As far as style, anything really. I'd love something really dark, like an imperial stout, or even a Old Engine Oil ~esque clone, which I think is an English porter?

My only problem is I don't have all my AG equipment yet, so I'm looking to do a half-batch, stovetop, nice and easy. Other than that, I'll just be happy to be making beer.

 

[mullenite]

It's all the Simcoe... I love it.

Dang Kraig,
With that much beer so quickly you're gonna turn into Juan and have to drink a keg a week.

Woooo a fellow Pines-ian. Pineser. Pembrokian.... Whatever.

 

[mullenite]

Sort of, I went to Flanagan but lived in Hollywood and Lauderhill while going there for the most part. I only lived in actual Pines for 9th and the very beginning of 10th grade.

I do believe that to be true.

[mullenite]

She said the name sounds familiar, but doesn't know her. We should meet up for a beer sometime.

Been trolling on Craigs List for a while looking for a chest freezer to hold kegs with no luck. Seeing a bunch of these mini fridges if anyone needs a fermentation fridge:
http://gainesville.craigslist.org/app/1862554294.html

I'm still looking for a freezer in the 5 - 7 cubic foot size. If anyone sees one, give me a shout.

 

[mullenite]

Just got a text that I have some wild grapes waiting for me. Going to brew something up on Friday to use them in.

Any suggestions?

 

[ghpeel]

Muscadine Pyment with some local honey? Might be tasty.

Hey does anyone have a spare corny I can buy? I need a 2nd one sometime soon if I'm going to try to bring my Amarillo Amber Ale to the brew class on the 28th.
