Count me in!

Just brewed this beer and I'm excited to try it! I'm alittle worried as my OG was 1.042 instead of 1.052. I hope that it doesn't effect the awesomeness of this beer though.

Not really sure. I just watched the video and did what it said, since this is my first time with all grain. Will it make a difference? Beside it just being a pain in the ass right now.

This actually looks like it may work. I'll give that a shot when I get home. Thanks!

Yes I put it back on the inside of the cooler, but since the T pipe is not flush with the wall it causes the bottom of that washer to be loose. Side Note: The additional washer that I was using is bigger than the pipe. It's like 3/4" and not 1/2". So I'm thinking if I get the right size that...

Sooo, I decided to start brewing with all grains. I converted an old cooler that I had into a mash tun and I'm having some issues with it leaking. is the tutorial I used on making the mash tun, but the problem with this is that my cooler has these 2 grooves on the side that are angled up from...

Woah! Awesome selection of items! I'm in!

The OG was 1.043

It was in primary for 7 days. The instructions called for transfer to secondary as soon as fermentation started to slow down. Here is the recipe. My OG was 1.043 OG: 1.041 - 1.044 FG: 1.010 - 1.014 1 Can Dark Malt Extract 2 lbs of dark dry malt 6oz Malto Dextrin 18ox crushed grains 1oz...

So I currently have an Irish Stout (a kit from my local homebrew shop) in secondary right now and when I put it in there it has a gravity of 1.022. Well I checked it again today (12 days later) and the gravity is at 1.021. So it's dropped only 1 point in 12 days. Is my fermentation stuck? I'm...

Hello everyone! Well I'm super excited, my girlfriend bought me a beer brewing kit for my birthday! Well this Saturday I went with some friends to a local brewing store (The Weekend Brewer for anyone in the Central Virginia area) and got a beer kit. It's an English Nut Brown Ale. Here are the...
