I may be interested in the CF Chiller. I don't see it in the pics though. Do you have a pic? Did you make it, or was it ordered somewhere?

Bottled my first batch today. Ended up with a FG of 1.016, but with my lower OG, it ended at a 7.5% ABV. The gravity sample tasted unbelievable!! The hops hit me in the face but as I tasted it further, there is a crazy depth behind it. As this ages, I can only imagine how it will develop!

I may be interested in the one for the plastic bmb. I'm in Sumter, so may be able to pick up instead of ship. Where is SC are you?

Worth a read. This. You don't need a starter before you brew. After brewing, take some wort out of your fermenter to use as a starter, pitch your yeast into the starter and leave it on the stir plate for 4 hours, then pitch the whole thing into your fermenter. Fermentation takes...

I'd be interested in the Temp Controller if you'd ship to SC.

Well - brew day is done and it's already building a good foam in the fermenter. Didn't get the OG I hoped for - 1.073. It's only my second AG brew and I'm still trying to figure out mash temp control. I over shot to 160 twice as I tried to warm the mash. It could be due to a larger boil, too...

Thanks for the advice. I'll save the bourbon barrel chips. The yeast is supposed to be here tomorrow, so I'll have time to do a double starter by Saturday. I'm looking forward to this beer. I thought my first AG brew day was a disaster, but just opened the first bottle and it was better than I...

Curious what people's experience with Wyeast 1272 is in comparison to 1056. I know 1056 is an old battle horse that has served well for a long time, but it sounds like 1272 finishes a bit cleaner with a tighter turb layer less likely to stir during transfer and it tends to attenuate more. It...

Thanks y'all. I had picked up a second pack of 04. But I decided to go ahead and order and American Ale yeast. I opted for the 1272, though. It seems to have a slightly better attenuation, drops a cleaner grub, and leads to a little cleaner final product. Curious if anyone's tried it instead of...

I have been interested in this recipe for a while. Thinking of brewing next weekend, but the LHBS was sold out of liquid American Ale yeasts and only had S-04 dry yeast available. Will that do, or should I order a 1056 online? Probably a dumb question, but this will only be my second AG and...
