Kosher Salt, I think I read that I need around 3/4 cup. Is there room more more goodies in the brine?

Hello all, going to do my 1st turkey on Sat morning and this is my plan. Just wanted to know if I am on the right track. 20lb bird brined for 24 hrs starting Friday AM. Sat, start bird at 185 for 8 hrs then 275 for 3 1/2 or so more till temp is 160 to 165. Then gobble up. oops! Does the...

Ok here is what was cooked/smoked today. Burgers @400 for 20 min or so fantastic smoke flavor and perfect char. Still very moist. Family says best ever "we have a weber gas grill so burgers were always good" with only garlic, pepper, and seson all. Did wings and shrimp tonight. Wings @ 180 for...

Brolke Down and got a Greem Mountain Pellet Grill today. Did burgers to season the grill and the family said best ever, I have wings and shrimp on now and plan on ribs on Sunday. So far so good

Pretty sure that will be ss not alum. All the better:)

Anyone ever use these? They look great, smoke with wood pellets like a stove, and have temp control. A bit salty at $900 so i would like some feedback if anyone has used one. Thanks so much!!

look for a beer at local beer dist called Straubs...I think thats the name. It is a beer brewed with less sugar. great bottles, heavy, 16oz, and a kick a$$ heavy box. I get them in pa for $3.00 a case. They are the returnables that most places carry here.

I use OXY Free with real hot water when I get the kegs. Between fill ups I just dont soak as long. I love oxy free because I can tell when it is all rinsed clear by the squeaky clean feeling. If not clear you still have that slight slimy feel.

Can you do a full 5 gal boil? If so why not just two times through the mash cycle. Split the grain do a mash. Then do the rest a second time and boil. If nasty's get in the first while you wait you are going to boil any way. Or is that too simple...Let the beer Yoda's chime in. I am still a noob.

Yoopers Cream Ale! Wife started on that and is now geeting to be a hop head. She used to drink MGD 64. ug

The next beer will take off like a rocket. I had one finish in under 12 hours from the time I pitched. I still do it but I may take 1/2 the old cake out or even a little more. I also use a blow off tube or a bunch of beer puke fills the air lock. There will be no fermentation may take up to 72...

Storms went all around us today never hit our house. Coulda woulda shoulda on the brew today. Have 20lbs that should be here on Monday so I will need to get cracking.

Beer is just hammering the air locks and blow-off tube. I dont think any bugs stand a chance with the super yeastie beasties. SWMBO always flashes the beer so I think they are working extra hard.

I like slurry :)

Yep Jet it was a good one. One of the buckets is chugging along this morning the other with the blow off tube is still a little behind. Starsan in the airlock is always so pretty with the shapes it makes.

Same thing happened to me tonight. Uggg

Oh man what a day. Brewed my first 10 gal AG batch today and it was all going so well till the end. Nailed mash temp, nailed og, put the chiller in and let er rip for what seemed like forever. As the nasty storms rolled in rain was falling in beer and I found out the tube on the chiller was...

Yep just slurry...gonna try it

The dimple was out not in ..sorry..not a dimple more of a pimple :)

Hello all. I save some yeast from 2 different batches a few weeks ago and am going to do a batch tonight. Both of the lids on the jars have a dimple on top and hissed a little when I opended them. I shook the yeast up to mix and when I opened the lid it foamed. Still smells like beer and yeast...
