Everything looks good to me. I would have went for a spoon over a mash paddle, but that is just a preference. Have fun and enjoy the results of your labor.
I would say shop around. I like midwest, but I think you can do better on corny's at other sites. Adventures in home brewing, have pretty good deals on kegs.
No. They will settle as the fermentation slows down. There is a lot of dry hopping still to go with that brew. When I did mine I cold crashed it for a few days before kegging and ended up with a nice clear brew. You will be fine.
I just finished my first all grain brew. I thought all was well until my final volume was about a half gallon off. I was doing a 6 gallon batch. Plus my gravity was a little high, I was hoping for 1.060 and ended up with 1.064. Can I just add some water?
I have a very nice Beer Engine being sent to me from my father inlaw in England. Does anybody know if you can hook these up to a corny keg? I would love to have some cask conditioned home brew.
My last batch, a Belgian Abbey, tasted great, but many of the bottles did not carbonate. I followed the same sanitizing procedures as always. Any idea why this happened, and is there anything I can do to save this batch.
:confused:
That is a really bad idea. I have been an electrician for 21 years. I have seen people try and do things like you are describing and it never ends well. Your best bet is to add a new 4 wire circuit with the proper sized wire and device. Anything else and you are asking for problems.
I am getting ready to bottle a Belgian Abbey , and was hoping to give it some Duval type carbonation. Do I just use more priming sugar, or I have heard about just adding table sugar.
Thanks
I don't just stick my toe in to see what the water is like I jump right in. After one Brewers Best Kit Batch, I got beersmith and made my own recipe, and it turned out pretty damn good. I hope this continues, I see all grain in the not so distant future.
