I just bought a bar so no time for hombrewing now.
In the bar is a nice jockey box that I have no use for. Looks like it’s in great shape, but I haven’t used it.
retail for $1,000 will sell for 500.
located in Blue Ridge GA, but I can get it to Atlanta for you.
Prefer not to ship.
Why not just move it into the house for the mash? You are not applying heat, so the propane isn't an issue.
You are also losing a lot of heat from the bottom of your kettle. Set it on a piece of plywood to insulate.
Yes straight out of the tap no boiling. I even use ice from the store if I need to chill it quickly. City water is treated and fine for this. If it was well water I might think differently.
Matheos- you need to log off for a few days, like until your ingredients arrive.
You are obsessing too...
I'd listen to Miraculix above. I've evolved my recipes to where I like it, but haven't started from scratch like where you are. I also brew all grain IPAs, so wasn't looking at your malt volume.
As another point of reference, the extract wheat I make for my wife has only 60 g of hops in it...
No drawbacks on sugar, just make sure you use the correct amount for a 750ml bottle, there are many threads here that include those calculations.
Moving that hop addition isn't really going to change it very much. For reference, I used about 350g of hops in my last IPA recipe. That is a lot...
That will definitely make beer!
I think you may be a little light on your hops & IBU for and american IPA, but that is personal preference. You could add another 30 or 60 g at the dry hop. Either Citra or Chinook would work as the additions there. But using a single hop will teach you how...
Matheos, The calculator is overkill for what you are doing. It is generally used to create recipes and plan ingredient lists, especially when doing all grain brewing.
At this point you should keep it simple. Find an IPA clone extract recipe and assemble the ingredients. There have been...
I never cook less than 500 grams (1 lb) of pasta. I use about 1 1/2 gallons water in a 2 gallon pot so I can get a rolling boil and don't have to watch it for boil overs or stir it as much.
We do things big in America. :)
You are correct you don't have to, but getting rid of extract clumps is easier in a pot of hot water than in a fermenter. Although in a bucket it may not matter as much.
