It looked fine on my computer, moved the pics to a different host.

So I couldn't find any larger pots. Home Depot only had 12" round and smaller and didn't seem able to tell me when they would have larger so I just got more dirt and used the pots I had. Here is what it looked like with most of the dirt knocked off The second pot had a wild flower growing in...

Yeah I live in an apartment building but I have a very large porch, so a pot on the porch is the best I can do for now.

Thanks! In retrospect I really should have just got the bigger pots when I bought these but I wanted plastic and these were the biggest non clay that Home Depot had at the time. Im going to head over there this weekend and grab some more dirt and see if they have any of the big plastic pots now...

Since I am going to hop burst this beer i guess adding LME at the start of the boil really isn't necessary? In beer smith the Srm comes in at 11 and I really dont want to risk going any higher than that boiling the LME too long. Just doing a late extract addition with the 20 min addition of...

Really I want to move up to all grain but I currenty live in a small apartment in Chicago and don't really have space for a mash tun and chiller and larger kettle and I'm also moving to California in a couple months and don't need more stuff to move with me. I just want to get more involvement...
