Congrats.... i have two under the belt with a third coming up this sunday. Def more to pay attention to!

Making two starters for Saturday. 1 for 14 Gallons of IPA 4l Starter at 1.040 - 2 vials of 001. aiming for just north of 700B cells This thing is goign nuts... yeast is pouring out of the top all kinds of Krausen . 1 for 14 gallons of Pale Ale 3L 1.040 - 1 Vial of 001 on stir...

I played around with it a little and have 1.75oz of Cascade for 60 1.5 oz of Citra for 20 1 oz of Citra at 0 and assume dry hoping with citra would be a good idea at 1 oz. Thoughts?

so the 1lb is crystal malt. 20l i belive is what i put in Beersmith. The HLT temp is 168.2 so basically 170 prior to mash in to get a target of 156. Yes you are correct it would be a fly sparge.... i forgot to change that in Beersmith.

Wanted to run this by the board and get some feedback. This is my first recipe and first all grain run so any and all advice is welcome. Style - Pale Ale batch Size 11 Gallon - Assuming gallong lost to fermenter etc 19lbs 12.9oz Pale Malt 2 row 1lb 1.5oz Hops 2.17oz cascade -...

Its been a crazy 6 weeks. Ive home brewed on and off for 10+ years but recently have been on hiatus from it. A good friend 6 weeks ago said "i think i want to start brewing beer" One thing led to another and now we have have 15 gallon setup in his basement with 20 ball lock kegs on the way and...

I searched for this but couldnt find exactly what i was looking for. I know that the Speidel 60l is advertised as being for 10 gallon batches but I assume that with some Fermcap added you could easily do 13 or 14 gallons. Is this a safe assumption? Can anyone confirm or deny?

The funny part of this whole story is that I have not brewed in 2 or 3 years. A buddy of mine brought it up about a month ago that he wanted to start brewing. One thing leads to another and 4 of us decided we wanted to partake so there was a need for volume. Just ordered 20 Gal HLT/Mash Tun /...

Very interested willing to come pick it up as well. Check your PM's

Have been contemplating a big kettle for 10 gal boils for a while. At Marshall's today ran across a huge stockpot 103.5 Qt. appears to be a tri clad bottom couldn't speak to the thickness. It's priced at $200 so I could save some money. Anyone know anything about these pots? It said it was...

Had two kegs in the keezer for over a month with no issue. Put in a a Triple IPA and a few days later notice that the C02 tank is empty. Switch the C02 tank and decide to spray everything down with soapy water to hunt down the leak. Cant find anything. The kegs hold pressure but if i leave...

Thank Yuri for this great recipe. I had my first sip of the pumpkin ale last night now that its fully carbed and I think I hit a home run. Was rushing to get this one drinkable by thanksgiving. Only let it spend 9 days in the primary then went straight to the keg and started carbing it up. I...

Extract kit. Checked the Hydrometer and water sits dead on 1.000

Well it was bound to happen. On 10/28 i brewed the Dogfish head IBA Clone from Austin home brew. I made a starter with wlp005. I was aiming for a 1.5l starter so i added 1.5cups of light DME to about 1.7l of water and boiled for 20 minutes. Unfortunately i ended up with about 1.2l of starter...

Finishing my keg of this off today. Best beer I have ever brewed.
