Hello fellow homebrewers, I recently recalled having a bit of maris otter hanging around so I was trying to plan a different brew using some of the ingredients I already have as well as playing around with some other things, and I came up with this recipe for a kind of refreshing late spring...

In!

I'll sub, this is something I've been looking to do since I already have an UNO sitting around. I look forward to seeing the rest of the build

You could get a large aluminum pot and go weldless on the element fitting. Aluminum pots are much cheaper than stainless (and easier to drill). Hope any of this helps

You could get a water-heater element fairly cheap and install it into a metal pot like so many electric brewers on this site use. they all seem complicated because most of them use PID controllers and such to minimize how much work they have to put into a brew day, but when it's all said and...

for those of you who don't have O2 setups, It's a pretty easy and cost effective way if you use a small enough amount. I've done it before. my friends thought it was my best batch yet. hope this is helpful to some

there's been research into using a small drop of olive oil instead of O2. Has to do with giving the yeast the material for cell structure already made as opposed to just the ingredients (O2). Sorry for oversimplifying. It's late, Can't remember. But here's a link, should help, cheers...

I'm in :fro:

It's a sticky in the hop-growing section. There's an abundance of information available there as well as just with some simple google searches. Hope that helps! Here's a link https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/hops-comparison-table-297038/ good luck in your endeavor. And I second the...

gear one down and make a mash stirrer? seems like a possibility to me, that or hook one up to a grain mill. but again, with motors that fast you'd have to gear them down.

what if you ran a SS coil through the fermenter-kind of like a wort chiller, but ran water or glycol through it with a small pond pomp and directly attached a peltier or 2 directly to the coil outside of the fermenter? a recirculating chiller concept that could somehow be put into a carboy...

I just left a few cases worth of collected bottles in a big cooler with warm water/oxyclean solution overnight. even got rid of painted labels, i just can't remember if that was only 1 night or 2, but my stone bottles came off clean as any of them!

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll go with what you said. I'm really excited for this one! Thanks again

hey all, So as I've recently started really getting into brewing (in actually brewing instead of theory and fantasizing) I have started all grain. I can honestly say it was a great step taken in brewing. Biermuncher's centennial blonde went off without a hitch and it turned out great. Now I...

Thanks Birdman, I'll keep you in mind. Although I know I wont be kegging in the verynear future, but I saw a deal that seems to be in my price range, so I may hold off for now, but your curtiousness is appreciated cheers! :mug:
