I am still rather new but it depends on who converted it. People convert size and to their systems efficiencies and losses. This can change quantities of both ingredients and water.

Yea now i just need to figure out what to brew and where to put it all. I will be moving in March, to a house/duplex rather than my apartment, so I think I will wait to really fill the pipe line till after that happens. Now i need to find a place with a nice basement for storing the pipeline.

I brewed this recipe this past weekend. I updated the recipe in the OP to reflect what I did. Only major change was the use of Pacman yeast. I figured I shouldn’t pass up the chance to pitch on top of a good yeast cake rather than just pitch dry Notty. I believe I should get similar...

I also meant to mention that the older gentlemen I bought the stuff from had easily 350-400 full bottles of wine in his basement And that was just the full racks that i saw. He may have had more. He said he was moving on to different hobbies. I believe he will be enjoying the fruits of his...

I need to share with everyone here on HBT my late Christmas/New Years present for myself. (4) 6 gal Carboys (1) 5 gal Carboy (2) 3 gal Carboys (2) 7 gal wine buckets Bottling bucket (2) Auto siphons Corona Mill Floor corker with bottle attachment (~800) Natural corks, winery overruns...

I have the ingredients and it is on my brew schedule for the first week of January, no brewing till after the holidays for me. I plan on updating this thread after brew day with actual number and experience. Then update again upon bottling and tasting. I am sticking to the updated recipe in...

I am also a recent ISU alum. I still make frequent trips back to Ames. I would be interested in the club and information once it gets started. I got into home brewing after i graduated. I still support one of the clubs i was involved in as a student. As for help on the topic i have none...

I like your thought. I think the recipe is looking rather good. I will be ordering ingredients this weekend. This recipe is 3 back in the pipeline. Open to more comments. Thanks to all

I appreciate the input. I am rethinking the 6-row now, I think that 50% 2-row will be enough to convert. I will mash for 90 min to help also. First post edited to current recipe. Any other thoughts

edit 2-row to 6-row Okay after searching i found no calculator for diastatic power of a recipes grain bill. How much whould/should i need to complete conversion? I am thinking 3.5 lbs 6-Row Malt 1.5 lbs Flaked Oats .5 lbs Flaked Barley 0.5 lbs 60°L Crystal 0.5 lbs roasted Barley 0.5 lbs...

Edited mash temp to 152 and .5 crystal 60L(This was my original thought anyway). I love oatmeal stouts and see many recipes with 2lbs in them. Should i be worried about conversion? Should go to 6-row to get there? Also I am a noob I read the flaked barley gives a creamy feel, right or wrong...

HBT I want to make a super creamy, and velvety oatmeal stout. I have done a dozen or so recipes and am taking a shot at creating my own. After looking through other recipes I have formulated this recipe. I am a PM brewer at the moment and 7 lbs of grain is about max for my system. I brew...

doggage and Christopherx, I must apologize about the situation. I didn't mean to create a conflict. The last thing i want it to sully my name or anyone else's on HBT. Due to the close timing of both post i did decide to trade with doggage, I am sincerely sorry for the misunderstanding in...

Traded to Doggage

I try, i am just hoping if anyone post a corker I can grab it before anyone else does? The SHMBO would be much happier if i trade equipment rather than just keep buying it.

Posted for free in the pay it forward thread.

No one wanted to trade me in the classifieds so here it is. I'll cover shipping to Con US only. I have a red-wing type capper that I don’t use as I upgraded to a bench type capper. Similar to link but I don’t know what brand it truly is. (I got it used with my first lot of...

If no one has a corker they want to trade by the end to the weekend i will post on the pay if forward thread.

I have a red wing type capper that I don’t use as I upgraded to a bench type capper. Similar to link but I don’t know what brand it truly is. (I got it used with my first lot of equipment) http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_356_61&products_id=988 I would like to trade...

Thanks guys defiantly confirmed what i had already thought, for my first attempt at a fruit beer i believe i will let it go 10-14 days in the primary then add fruit to the primary for another 10-14 days then rack to a secondary for clearing or just bottle from there depending on where it is at...
