Was going to order some yeast for a cider today and went on midwest supplies website and oh boy looks like all their yeast got a decent price hike compaired to every other home brew supply website....Figured i would pass this on. Some of the yeast got up to 3 dollar price increase but most...

Created this recipe based off of the style guidelines just curious what people think... I think it would be rather interesting to brew this spring

I was thinking using the oats as a body enhancer and to also make it creamy not so much as flavor if that makes sense... Just as a curious what would you suggest for the amount of oats if it was you?

Good evening guys I have a partial mash oatmeal stout I am wondering on for just something to try my hand at building my own stout. What do you think. It is a partial mash recipe.

I run all my ciders through stainless perlicks as this way I do not have to worry about any of it leaching flavors.. They not much more expensive versus the cheaper ones.

I didn't like the fact I cant take apart a plate chiller so I went on mine with a counterflow chiller. The big benefit to me was it is much harder to plug and much easier to clean for me.

Ok i have done this in the past before... I have the hardware to convert to commercial keg of cider any time i want and my tips are pretty easy. First of all i did not worry about special line as it is not important in a sense. It all follows the same rules of balancing the lines to make it pour...

Bingo that is exactly what i am doing. My goal is to make this as easy as possible after all work smarter not harder =D

Any tips I would definitely like. I definitely will not be guessing at those temps I just don't have the instructions handy ATM. As for hops ultilization I was planning the usual 10% reduction.

Getting ready to brew a extract kit that includes a partial mash. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/AHS-Bavarian-Hefeweizen-15A--MINI-MASH_p_2455.html Just looking to do a gut check with you guys as i want to do a full boil with this kit instead of a partial boil and top up water as suggested...

is there any tricks to having a 15 gallon kettle but only using it to make 5 gallon batches? i think that is why i cant decide. I like having the bigger pot but with only using 1/3 of the pot the liquid level is awful low in compairison to using the 10 gallon kettle that is around 1/2 full

Definally a good point my problem is i have the cfc and pumps for a brewing rig just no pot to brew in currently. I have the cash for either pot also.

sure seems like people like the 15 gallon pot. If i had spike do a custom kettle anyone have feedback to what they would suggest to get port location wise?

I like to typically brew things around 1.050 to 1.080 but i like to get into barleywine styles and those can easily get around 1.080+

Just out of curiosity i like the biab method to make 5 gallon batches would that push me toward the 15 gallon kettle as you sometimes need lot more water in there?
