I’ve got a De’Longhi all in one machine. Does espresso and coffee. You can adjust the strength on the fly. I don’t remember the model but a middle level one. They make several models starting around $1000. Definitely check them out. Makes way better coffee than a drip machine. There are ways to...

Zero dough balls with my giant potato masher I linked earlier. Instead of stirring you just pump it up and down and it creates a top to bottom stirring affect.

I've been using one of these for a few years and really like it. I do 5gal BIAB with it. It's probably 2.5-3ft long. could easily cut down the wooden handle if wanted. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wal-Board-Tools-6-in-x-6-1-2-in-Hand-Mixer-42-002/100390184

I haven't done much dry hopping over my years brewing as I didn't used to like those types of beers much. So when I did was just using the old toss it in for a week through the lid method. Now my tastes and equipment have changed and I've got a hoppy beer I brewed Sunday I need to dry hop and...

I stir mine at 15min. Thats when I take my ph sample so I like to give it a mix before taking the reading. I then leave it until its done but stir before pulling the bag.

4593.5 + 5 gallons Daisy Cutter clone = 4598.5

lol. We’ll have to start incorporating that in.

Haha. Thanks. Murphy is a good lookin pup. I’m super happy with the beer and need to brew it soon.

For sure listen to anything @doug293cz has to offer. He helped me work out some problems in my BIAB system and low efficiency earlier this year. I'm now getting 80-85% with a batch sparge. I would for sure get your grains double milled if not doing yourself.That's what I did before having my own...

That's exciting. I used 4oz in a 5.5 gallon batch. It definitely gives it and earthy taste and I was happy with that amount. I used fresh tips at the time. Not sure if frozen ones would give less flavor. I've got half a pound frozen but haven't got a chance to rebrew this yet and try the frozen...

Gonna brew a Daisy Cutter clone on Sunday since it'll finally be over 40 degrees. Wondering if I should get ambitious and try my first double brew day cause who knows when it'll ever be warm enough again.

Yeah a bag from RiteBrew is $53 for shipping to my house so $99 total. The $80 I paid yesterday was from my LHBS. He is a small store that doesn’t do tons of busines. Also he mostly only carries Rahr in the main grains which I’m just now discovering seems to be 10%-15% more expensive for a sack...

$45 for a bag of base malt? I’m doing something wrong. I literally just picked up a bag of 2-row today for $79.99.

Yes it was closed transfer. And yeah it actually finished lower than expected FG. I use a plastic fermonster and purge the keg with fermentation CO2. Then close transfer through spigot using a carb cap installed in the lid to pressurize. You are right that I am not planning to transfer again...

While I have never done secondary for simple beers I just recently switched to dry hopping in the primary and keg as well as doing secondary in the keg for beers that require secondary. I brewed a sorta Scottish ale a month ago and the recipe says after 2 weeks in primary to secondary for 4...

4216.5 + 5gal Chocolate Milk Stout = 4221.5

Will this controller eventually be available for your BIAB package on your website? If I can get some 240 run this winter planning to get your setup next year.

4076 + 5gal Winter Warmer Strong Ale = 4081

As an essential federal government employee who will be working, including overtime, without pay in a few days it's very annoying that what you could call my distant fellow coworkers will be involved in a pissing match while still receiving their pay.

5gal Sunshine Wheat 3991 + 5 = 3996
