Thanks for all the input. I haven't settled on a recipe yet so I will try to stay in the lower gravity range until I get the efficiency and procces worked out. :tank:

I used my first bucket for three years. Then I got all paranoid due to some scratches. So now I try to replace them once they get discolored or scratched. Although I have never really had with any issues with older buckets or infections. Guess it's just a piece of mind thing.

I like your selection for your first 2 batches :rockin: I have three carboys and two buckets. I find myself using the buckets alot because they are easier to clean. But you have to replace them after a year or so. The straps for the carboys would be nice. Cheers. And good luck

I'm going to try and stay within the perimeters of this chart. Would you say 24 lbs of grain would be to much for the 10 gallon cooler

That sounds like one hell of a brew day lmao good thing I don't have to worry about frozen lines here in Texas. Thanks for sharing the story haha

yea I imagine I'm going to have a fun time filling the HLT without a pump����

My last beer bubbled for 6 days and blew the lid off the bucket twice. And other brews just bubbled for 24 hours. Give it more time and get a good Gravity reading to see if your stuck or not. It's probably all good RHAHB. getting a stuck fermentation is pretty rare.

I'm going to brew a 10 gallon batch for the first time next weekend. I have a 12 gallon HLT a 10 gallon cooler MT and a 15 gallon BK. I've been brewing for almost 5 years and I have my system figured out pretty well. My normal brew house efficiency is around 70-73% when it comes to 5 gallon...

Here is my rig. I have brewed many batches on it. I finaly cleaned and stained it over the weekend.

Cowboys !!!!!!!!!!!

Ok this is my second try. So I'm looking for info on what I need to do to brew with this water.

Bummer thanks

Page 3. Any suggestions would help. I'm looking to use my city water to brew. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to make it good to brew with.

This one

This is what I could find on my water here in watauga tx.
