I've got a lot more batches to get under my belt. I still havent retired my water cooler all grain setup. I'm just now beginning to acquire kegs for keggles in a hopeful single tier build in the future. In looking for places to buy kegs, I noticed a website, usedstainlesssteelbarrels.com. I have...

Well I just had my first taste of the cream of three crops and all I can say is WOW! Exactly what I'm looking for after a long day working outside in this South Texas heat (108 today!) I was a little impatient in testing this first one. It's only been in the bottle for 5 days so it was a...

Thanks I think this will bet next brew! The way you've got it worded it makes it sound like you're saying to use limeade instead of grapefruit but I'm assuming you mean grapefruit instead of limeade? Right? Also I'm not set up for kegging would the acidity and sweetness of the grapefruit juice...

I'd like to try this with the simply grapefruit as was mentioned earlier. I've been looking into trying to brew something like a Ruby Redbird but every thread I've read about someone trying a clone it turned out nasty. Some of the comments said this has been made with grapefruit so what would...

Pantyhose sounds like a winner I'm going to try that Thank you

Yeah I think I'm going to take your word for it and wait. I'm thinking about possibly moving it to a third (tertiary?) fermenter to maybe help clean it up some more. It was clear this morning but just picking up the carboy and setting it on the counter caused all that trub to move around enough...

Today I was planning on bottling my Cream of Three Crops Ale I brewed from a recipe on here. It has a good amount of floating trub even after being moved to secondary. When I picked up my carboy today and set it on the counter to siphon to my bottling bucket, a lot of this floating trub broke...

Thanks y'all this has really helped clear up a few things. I kept trying to read through the yeast part of the forum and it seemed like there were as many ways to get your yeast ready as there were ways to brew! This forum is great about answering questions I think I'd be lost without it. Thanks

Ok forgive me for asking some super beginner questions, but what I can't seem to find is a basic walk through what we're doing with the yeast starters. I've only done 5 batches so far, 2 extract and 3 all grain and everything has turned out pretty great. I've used dry yeast just pitched right...

18486 + 15(mine) = 18501 American Pilsner +5 European Bock +5 Cream of Three Crops +5

If you still have them I'd take all three but you'd have to ship them and I'll pay for that too
