80 a case? So 160 a brew? Thank you for your detailed response.:mug:

My time is valuable, but it's relaxing so I count that as a positive.

I'll have to do some research on the reusing of yeast. $5 is half off too.

oh snap youre right thats another 10 bucks

I've done the haus brew for a couple tries. Next batch is gonna be straight 2 row SMaSH with some kind of american yeast. So 10 bucks for 2-row, and 5 bucks for the yeast. Maybe 2 dollar for the sanitizer/water/gas. So grand total of $17 / 8 = $2.13 per six pack for pretty decent 5% beer? As...

You don't dump sanitizer into each bottle?

Why do recipes call for 10 pounds of malt syrup, but they only come in 3# and 6# bottles?

came out very drinkable!

I just forced down a case of Sam Adams winter lager since Saturday. Now I have 2 cases of bottles. Can bottle on Wed. I have 12 Grolsch bottles too. And a couple 22's and 750 ml bottles.

So I took a sample out to check the OG, it appears to be at 1.009 so I am going to bottle it tomorrow. The problem is, it seems to have MAD sediment in it. Like not just yeast residue, but hulls and hops. How can I get rid of this?

This is what I will do next time. I also need to make an immersion chiller.

No I did not, ~ 3.5 gallons. Gonna take a second OG reading before tossing in the yeast. Which will be momentarily. OK after adding the hops and cooling it the OG is 1.043 corrected for temperature.

ok so I'm bringing it up to boil, I checked the OG before boiling and its 1.018 at 150 degrees, so I calculated that to be 1.034. So there should be some alcohol.

Thank you for your advice. I was trying to follow the all grain bee cave recipe. It just cooled down a lot more than I had expected. I am going to try that 21 day free trial and try again when one of my carboys free up. Or just buy a third one :p

Ok so I added another gallon of boiling water since my temps were at 147 and needed to be at ~ 159. Didnt seem to raise the temps :( I hope this works.
