That is cool, think I'll try my hand at making one. I was thinking of running the coolant water through my immersion chiller that is sitting in an ice bath, then into the Cyclone. During the Summer months in SC, tap water can run a little warm.

This would be nice to have! Count me in!

5 gal batch of Caribou Slobber and 6 gal of white zinfandel for the wife.

Update on the Caribou Slobber. Just racked it into secondary, FG was 1.012. It had an OG of 1.065. According to brewer's friend, that gives me a ABV of 6.96%. Thanks for everyone's advice. When I opened the primary, it smelled great. After I checked the gravity, it tasted great as well...

I've wanted to try my hand at home brewing for quite some years, but for many reasons wasn't able to until earlier this year. Now that I've taken the plunge, I love it. I work out of town, so I don't get to brew as often as I would like, but I do when I get home. A lot of great...

I was just roaming the interwebs and came across the site. Been coming around ever since.

Thanks for reassurance. I'll stop driving myself crazy and watching the airlock. I'll leave it alone for a couple more weeks and go from there.

This morning there is no bubbling in the airlock. I brewed this Sunday. I didn't open the bucket to see if the krausen has fallen. Since I made a starter and oxygenated the wort before pitching, is it possible that primary has finished already? Does anyone know what the gravity should be...

I do have a hydrometer and I'll check it in two weeks. My OG was a little higher than the target 1.052. Mine came in at 1.058. I knew it would eventually slow down, just wanted to make sure this was normal that it slowed significantly in just two days. Thanks for letting me know.

Update: the caribou slobber has been in primary since Sunday and the airlock was chugging away only after a few hours and continued through Monday. It started slowing a little Monday evening and now this morning it has slowed down a lot. (bubble every 15 sec or so) Is this normal? Is this...

Thanks for the recipe, I'll make this but don't think it will last 90 days,lol. This was for a 5 gal batch I assume?

Thanks! I wanted to do something sort of easy for my first all-grain, plus I'm a fan of Blue Moon. Thanks for the tip of using fresh citrus zest.

I've only done extracts up to this point. I know there is nothing wrong with extracts and I'm sure I'll do more in the future, but I'm ready to try my hand at all-grain in a couple of months. I want to expand my brewing experience. Going to attempt a Blue Moon clone.

Yesterday was brew day. I work out or town for extended periods, so I don't get to brew as often. While away for work, I do a lot of research on brewing and read many threads and articles on this site. I did some things I have never done before. I brewed NB's Caribou Slobber. I made a yeast...
