+1 on the thief, I learned that pushing it to the bottom let's you sample the trub If it's in primary, loose hops or woodchips in secondary. it tilts enough to trigger the tip to fill the thief enough for the Hydrometer. I'm not so sure about the refractor yet. Many threads exist on how wort...

I would surmise the LED could have an effect on the beer based on the light output. UVA-UVB, we know that will skunk a beer. Not a temperature F/C issue but a color temperature K.

I've got a 25' stainless 3/8" coil, I gently stir with the coil and I get to pitch in under 15min. the vinyl hoses kinked from the heat in the boil pot but it still rocks the cold break.

Hi! I'm a new brewer and I figured I'd tell my Tale. Tugboat is a 5 gal. Brewers Best, Whiskey Barrel Stout. I let her sit 2 weeks in 6.5gal Primary and then racked to 5gal Secondary and added the boiled oakchips free floating. I think racking to a transparent Secondary was the cause of my...

I've been extract and partial mash brewing from kits. I haven't yet used the entire package 5oz. of priming sugar. I've been personally happy with the amount of carbonation. However I wish to halt carbonation with sugar and move to using malt instead. I've been reading that the carbonation might...

let it go. beer is good.

+1 for the magic wand knowing headspace.

brewtopia is downtown port? I had herd there was a LHBS down there. I know Port Jeff Brew is down there as well. Road Trip is 347 and Ramp Ford?

West Islip but work in Port Jeff Sta. primary's empty now but have to pick the next batch. Santa kinda digs the IPA/DIPA! Personally I think the sled runs on Hops oil.

IBTL!!:smack:

I'm not sure of where the funk grew from in the secondary. Primary looked awesome, secondary looked clean and the in week 3 something started growing. so what ever it is I just want to go no-rinse to eliminate the rinsing and Starsan seems to be the choice most recommended online.

I'm using it as my first cleaner, it is slimy but rinses out with hot water. I have a little B-Brite left but just got Starsan as my final sanitizer. after 5 weeks 2p/3secondary my stout looks like it's got the funk.

you're ok, not enough space in the carboy or pail? clean it up when you get home. if it's still flowing out look to put in a blow off hose for a few days. search the forum and there are plenty of suggestions

She is Tugboat. a Whiskey barrel stout from Brewers Best. 2 weeks in secondary with boiled oak chips after 2 weeks in Primary I would rather have had less headroom in secondary 5.5 gal would have given this less room to run. Going to rack and bottle tomorrow or monday. This wasn't present...

Brisket sounds good, pork is cheaper these days so a butt or shoulder may be in my cards rather than beef brisket. i never saw a pork brisket but pulled pork comes from a similar cut, Yes?

I was worried about using my fryer for both. After frying in it, clean and boil just water, clean again and I was good to go. I didn't have to scrub the **** out of it. Creme Ale extract went well, know for sure after bottle carbing. Not too concerned.. will BAIB in it next batch.

I don't think I said hi in the thread. Turkey Fryer for 3-4 gal boils. Kitchen at FD for fulls if I want. Like the big kitchen much better. Extract with specialty grains but want to BIAB!.

I'm a newb to brewing, only up to 15 gal total. One of the thing I find really interesting about homebrew is the new found appreciation for the Beer, bordering on a awe or reverence without being sacrilegious. Drinking Homebrew at a rate on par with knocking back mass produced mainstream...

Wrapping my lips around a Heady Topper now. At my sisters in Huntington VT. Finished the Last bottle off my friend Jan's Dry Hopped IPA, very good but I didn't expect the dry hopping in the bottle. In his defense he probably told me but I was in having fun T-day night.. He's a newbrew like me...

Blue Point Brew, Wet Hops Experiment Pale Ale. I'm a happy hoppy guy! If i can figure out how to post pics I will!! cool label in a Incredibles comic style!
