Curious if you made this and how it turned out. Planning on making a black ipa with star fruit...

.

any body got any suggestions for this recipe? I've got the sparge water heating up now.... http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/zeus-2 I also have some columbus and amarillo on hand... the amarillo is pretty old but has been in the freezer. I was going to dry hop with an ounce of zeus as well, and...

Waaaaay undershot OG 1.064. A bit disappointing. Stuck sparge - should have used rice hulls. Was trying a stainless steel braid for the first time instead of the cpvc rig, not that that had anything to do with it. ended up with a lot of extra beer, probably 6.0-6.5. if I would have had more time...

I didn't get around to brewing this today - tomorrow should be a go. And yes I'll attempt to let it age - though I'm sure I'll be testing it out along the way. I'll be sure to post the results.

Nobody? I'm planning to brew this tonight.

I'm planning on giving this a shot sometime soon... I've got T-58 dry yeast on hand, will that work?

well just got done. used my new electric keggle (1 element 1500 element). took for-ever to get it to a boil, but alas it did happen - though not as hard as I would like. Ended up with OG of 1.044 and a bit more beer than expected. I guess I'll step up the grains for this set up, and eventually...

Awesome! I'm going with the Windsor then. Thanks for the help!

So I'm planning on brewing this tomorrow but have a yeast problem. Didn't have enough time to do a starter of washed wlp 01. But I do have the following dry yeasts on hand: Windsor S-04 Safbrew T-58 I'm guessing definitely not the safbrew t58 but, any suggestions? I'm not necessarily looking...

Okay so being that I botched this project.... can anyone provide a link to the most basic electric brew kettle setup. I'm not looking to buy any temp control devices at this point. I'm currently doing 5 - 6 gallon batches and would think I'd only need one 1500 element to maintain a boil, and a...

crap.

So I built a heatstick (1500w element). I tested it today in about 5 gallons of water and it got it up to a boil in about 25 to 30 minutes with an additional gas burner to get it started. Anyhow my question is, I had it plugged into one of those orange 3 way extension cords so that I could reach...
