You can easily have extra ice on hand and add to the bucket as needed

I tried to search but did not see what I was looking for. mabye I was searching the wrong way so I will try again. It seems to me that people use other chillers hooked to the ball valve and run the wort through. heck you could increas the hte coil length if you needed. This would save on all...

Has anyone tried to cool wort this way? I had an idea then I saw someone mention it in the coments of an article on this Forum. Insted of using a wort chiller to run water through, what if you used say a 20 foot coil in a 5 gal bucket filled with Ice water? Cut a hole in the bottom of the...

@NewBrewerTFM Could you elaborate? I was thinking the same thing then I read your post. I was thinking of taking 20foot of copper and coiling it inside a bucket. Cut a hole at the bottom of the bucket for the copper to come through and seal with silicone since it wolnt touch the wort. Fill...

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this or not so sorry if I offend! I just came across this on Craig's list! I have no where to put this at all and am going to be kicking my self for not being able to by it. Just to reiterate, I don't know the seller and am not the seller. I just...

This is a good beer! I am happy with the way it turned out. I just cracked my first one of the batch today and am drinking a second now. I put them in the fridge yesterday morning before work so the they would be cold for tonight's 2 @ 2 week taste test. Each one was properly carbonated and...

Oh yeah the extract version in case you were wondering.

Has anyone tried their Hop Rod Rye clone? I was thinking of ordering this today and couldn't find any reviews.

Thanks! I haven't bottled the Chinook yet so I am unsure of the flavor profile. I was hoping on saving money by reusing this yeast. I would rather pay a few extra bucks if it would make a difference but at this point this will be my 3rd batch ever and my first isn't even ready to drink. So I...

I was thinking of ordering the Cascade Mountain Imperial IPA extract kit from Northern Brewer since I am only set up at the moment for extract. The question is I have the Chinook IPA that I used the Wyeast 1056 American ale yeast. Would this be a good yeast to wash and pitch to the Imperial...

I hit 1.062 but I added some extra DME and 1 cup of sugar. I took a gravity reading this weekend and I am at 1.016 at the moment. Needless to say I tasted the sample and I am pleased with the way it turned out so far. I will add the dry hops this weekend for about 5 days.

Thanks, I figured it would suitable but wanted to make sure before I bought one.

I am about to make the switch to BIAB and convert a keg I have into a kettle. So now I am looking for a burner and was wondering if anyone has had an issue with weight using the burner from the Turkey fryer? Keg = ? Water = 8 lb a gal plus grains can add up quick.
