I'm wondering if they sell a hose you could hook up to an outdoor faucet that would let you use the water for brewing. I've been kind of looking around but unable to find anything really. Anyone have something like this? Maybe add a filter at the end?
I've been looking to expand my gear into a bigger kettle. One so I can BIAB (will eventually get a mash tun) and two so I can boil the whole whole wort and stop topping it off. I have a nice propane burner. I am looking at

Good to know. How do people usually get water from a hose to use to make wort? Do you get a water filter to add on to the hose and then also use food safe hosing? Just wondering as I've been building up to do more brews outside.
Yeah. This batch had so many screw ups from using a new propane burner that I almost just dumped it but I've read enough posts here saying just to wait that I said **** it.
I was making my second kit last weekend and had my immersion wort chiller spring a leak due to the pressure from my hose. It sprayed right into the wort. So I turned the hose back off and brought the wort back up to a boil for about 5 minutes to kill everything that might have gone into the...
Yeah. The bucket will be good for sanitation anyways so having it around will be good. After Xmas I'll get some good stuff. Just ordered a beaker for making a starter best time and going to try and make a stir plate. Being that I'm in IT I have tons of spare parts to try and make one.
Okay! So I cracked the lid real quick before I left and the krausen looks great I believe. Thank you guys for calming me down. I can't wait. It must be a leak in the lid. Anyone have any good suggestions of a primary fermenter? Glass preference.
After asking what yeast I realize that was something I should of written down. I went to AIH in Ann Arbor, Michigan and they sold me my first kit. I'll try and find the receipt but it was a while labs tube for a two hearted clone.
So I am new and I just made my first LME kit. When I go to check on it I see no activity on the air lock. No bubbles at all. It's in a bucket so I can't see the action inside. Making me wish I had something see through. Later today it will have been 72 hours since I pitched the yeast. I can say...
I have a similar question any maybe someone here will give me an answer. I recently started, like this week, brewing 5 gallon batches and did not get a big enough kettle. I am looking to get one but want to know if getting a 15 gallon kettle would be just fine for 5 gallon batches so in the...
