I think 12 lbs sounds about right, I have the recipe at home and could look it up. The book had the All-grain version in it. I stopped by Northern Brewer here in Milwaukee and looked it up. I'm not much of an IPA fan, made for my wife and parents and they like it a lot. Can't compare since NG...
Thank for all the input. I started the boil over at 30 minutes. I figured that would give me a good 10 m in. boil before I put in the chiller for 20 minutes before I'm done. The 10 min. last hop addition was the biggest concern. I wrapped the pot in a towel and brought it inside overnight so...
It's 12 degrees out right now with a wind chill at 5 F, not looking for a tank tonight.
I will just pick it up in the morning. Recipe is NB Winter Warmer.
5 Gallon batch w/OG at 1.066
2 oz Willamette at 60 min.
1 oz Willamette at 10 min.
So you think I should boil 60 mins. in the...
Its 12:15 am and I ran out of propane with 20 minutes left in boil. I can't get a tank till the morning.
I was planning on picking up the boil were I left off. But should I pull out the hops bag or not. Just bittering 2 oz of willamette in the boil so far.
Used your Yeast Calculator.
If I figure this right, I should make a 3 step starter to get up over 494 ish billion cells.
If I get this right the steps would be:
1. Inflate smack pack and make a 1 liter starter.
2. Step up starter to 1.5L. - How long do I wait for this and should I decant and...
I'm looking to make my first lager in the next week or so. I bought a Wyeast Boheiman Lager Smack Pack for the Northern Brewer Maibock kit (All-grain OG at 1.068). Should I let the smack pack inflate and then step up the smack pack in a starter once or twice?
For ale's I just normally make...

Looking to use 2-row pale malt for base since I have recently bought a sack of it.
It is an IPA (British Style I have read) that my wife loved when New Glarus made it
Here is the recipe I found in North American Clone Brews:
I just got recipe copy so not sure if they have the all-grain conversion in the book
Can somebody help convert to all-grain.
GRAINS
1 pound pale,
1.25 pounds Medium Crystal
Mash grains at 155 degrees for 60 minutes.

So as an update... I re-checked again tonight and the Gravity was 1.010. It also had some new krausen or foam since I last checked it.
Is this common for a Kolsch yeast to work this slow and pause for a short period?
I will check again later this week to see if any change in gravity and let...
Washing Dry yeast? I thought people went that route b/c you didn't need a starter and just pitch it and forget it. And cheap so you don't have to hassle with washing yeast.
Anyways I'm guessing it is a ordering or availability issue
so after washing and letting it settle out into the 1 32 oz...
