Ok I will definitely try getting another one from mowed first. I don't see why they wouldn't give me a new one

So I just got my wyeast activator from midwest and it wad already smacked it not fully ballooned up but definitely activated. I wasn't planning on brewing till next weekend so what should I do? should o make a starter and let it sit for the next week and a half? I'm really not sure. Still fairly...

Here is my monster 100 ft wort chiller. 3/8 inner and 1/2 on the ouside

Just got done brewing my second AG. Went a lot better then my first one. I did an oatmeal stout. Had my wort chiller start leaking at one of my joints I brazed. It was random because I've already used it 4 times with no problem. Cooing the wort without it was a pain

Yea I started brewing not to long ago and that definitely was my original mind set. I'm doing my 5th batch today and I spent more time on this recipe making sure the ingredients are cohesive instead of what I can get my alcohol % at. My first couple brews I was just In the mindset of how much...

Good suggestions. I'll probably steer in the direction you're talking. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has bought one of these kettles off this guy or heard anything about them. They look nice but then again its just a picture. Here is the link for the one I was looking at...

I just brewed my first AG yesterday and had similar results I was looking for an O.G. Of 1.070 and only hit 1.055. So I'm curious what when wrong as well. My efficiency was obviously very poor so I must of done something incorrectly

No I didn't like I said first time didn't really think to do that but I guess I will next time. I batch sparged. So how much dme do you try to add to improve it and are we boiling the dme in water then adding it

Well I have completed my first grain. Everything went well for the most part. I missed my mash temp at first and had to add more water after it was sitting at like 138 for10-15 mins. I'm not sure how much this messed things up. I was looking for an OG of 1.070 and got 1.055. I'm still fairly new...

Yup already thought of that I think I might do it for next time, but with that said used it yesterday and had 6 gals cooled to 76 in about 20 mins. It's only going to get warmer outside so the pre chiller will be an easy and efficient addition

Yea you caught me just about

Yea I already did. I filled my 8 gallon pot up to 7 gallons and dropped it in and it did just fine
