.... did you boil with the grain bag in the water? and then squeeze after? im confused......

my brother is a huge fan of celebration, so this weekend i'll introduce him to the process and brew this one up! thanks for the recipe.

Ive been doing pretty well without a hook/hoist/pulley with 5 gallon BIAB I simply took a 5 gallon bucket and drilled several holes in the bottom Then i grabbed a metal refrigerator shelf (From a mini fridge, so its essentially like an oven rack) when my mash is over, i pull out the bag, have...

i substituted in some Honey Malt instead of 2-row and man, did this come out great. very good light beer. very drinkable

I actually am curious to know.. i did not weigh it and i'm not sure. I'll check next brew day and report back!

probably in the 40's or so

i thought about that with commercial/microbreweries. I never had the pot fully closed throughout the entire boil. Not once. I think it'll be okay. It was an AG recipe. I don't plan on covering even partially again. It was getting quite windy and chilly out near the end of the brew day, so i...

Last night was my first time brewing outdoors on a propane burner. As the sun started to set, i worried a bit about two things. - Bugs deciding to land in the wort - Heat Loss (outside temp was dropping quick) I had my lid on PARTIALLY (steam was still escaping) i know that most people...

Brew day was successful! boiled down to 5 gallons with the same grain bill. Ended up at 1.060! mustve had some pretty solid efficiency :drunk:

all is good! that thing had 6 gallons boiling in less than 20 minutes! nice!

Found my next brew :) this looks like a great tasty summer brew

I think i should be alright then. This one has an adjustable regulator and at full blast is pretty loud and produces a nice blasting blue flame. Maybe i'll test it this week and plan a brew day cheers :mug:

havent had the chance to yet :P figured id check and see if anyone had used this burner first. I have brewed 5 gallon batches on my stove top before with no issue (except it taking forever to boil), so i assumed that nearly any outdoor burner would work better (faster)

I recently purchased this burner from the local walmart. It look exactly like an SQ14 burner and it said that it was "Perfect for boiling" so i figured it would be great. Sturdy and well crafted it seems but i'm worried it wont put out enough heat to boil 6 gallons. I cant find specs for the...

thanks for digging up this old thread. this was an awesome read. don't be afraid to experiment :)
