Yep I don't have a bottling bucket. I bottled for the first time on my last brew just by putting it under the racking valve on my conical and then squirting in some sugar water from a syringe. I'm just not sure how much I should use once the dextrose is mixed with water. A bit confused how I...

Ok so what I plan to do is the following: 1. add measured amounts of dextrose into each bottle 2. fill each bottle with a little bit of water 3. place the bottles into a pressure cooker 4. nuke the bottles at 20psi for 30mins 5. wait for bottles to cool overnight 6. add fermented beer...

I know now why it jammed. The wheat grains i milled were unmalted (stupid me!). Hahahahaaha.... I just brewed another batched with malted wheat and no problems whatsoever. Another thing i would like to note though, after some time my mill started to move and it caused the rollers to be at an...

Congrats! Yea I do agree, the MM3 is some piece of hardware. Be careful not to the put your finger in it! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Well i wouldnt be too much help since im still a rookie. How about going to a recipe page or a book and finding one that has a lot of vienna? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I love and hate morning brews. I always brew on Saturdays or Sundays and both days I start my mornings with a bad hangover from the night before....

How about just substituting the suggested grains in recipes with Vienna?

I got my raw wheat from a farm that supplies those wheat grass growing kits :D YIKES! I'll try brewing another batch this week or the week after and will probably be dumping the current wort in the fermenter (haven't pitched yet). By the way, its great to see so many stories on here! Great...

Just like the title says... I'll start by telling you mine. It's probably the dumbest mistake, felt like shooting myself in the head yesterday!! Well I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Hefeweizen last two weeks and got an UNSUALLY low OG. Was aiming for 1.052, but I got 1.025. I'm pretty new to all...

I got an MM3-2.0 and it produces a great crush:rockin: However... I've been having problems with it crushing wheat. Wheat seems to be much harder and it gets my rollers stuck. Maybe I just have the wrong setting? I'm setting it with a creditcard.

Wow thanks guys! I think ill just put this on hold for the time being. Maybe ill just cut off the small conical part and use it for small trial batches Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Ok thanks! I was studying in Holland when I created my account, but now I'm back in Thailand! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I live in Thailand and all wall sockets are 220v

I ordered 2 march pumps from the US for quite some time now and have been running them on a 220to110v transformer. Since there is only 220v available where i live, I was just wondering if its possible to permenantly convert these pumps to use 220v and if so, how do i do it? Has anyone ever done...

Hi guys, I'm going to be brewing my first Hefeweizen this weekend and would like to have your opinion on my recipe. Grain 8.5lb Wheat 4.5lb Vienna Malt 1lb Rice Hulls Hops 0.5oz Saaz @ 60mins 0.5oz Cascade @ 60mins or 1oz Saaz @ 60mins Yeast Fermentis WB-06 I've only seen...

Well if i really convert it into a conical then i will certainly size up my whole rig. As for contamination, the whole thing has to be cleaned up well and all should be fine imho.

I currently have a 100 litre biodiesel rig at home which I think could be PERFECT for home brewing, but I'm in a dilemma on 'what' application I should use it for... A mash tun or a fermenter??:drunk: Ok so firstly just to explain what this baby has in it. It's all electric and it has a...

Thanks Kevin! I guess i'll wake the yeast up and I can finally goto sleep now :D

No such thing as a stupid question. 1. I think you pretty much have it all already, just make sure you balance your system to prevent excess foaming. Here's a great guide to balancing your system: http://www.iancrockett.com/brewing/info/kegbalance.shtml 2. You just rack the beer from your...
