If you want it to be versatile enough of a lineup for non-brewing non-craft drinkers then I would suggest a session pale ale as your number 3 and for number 4 either an IPA or an Imperial Stout.

You can buy the hose adapters for faucets.... When I first started I used the ice bath in the sink procedure. It works fairly well but to cool the wort down as fast as possible when doing so you need to circulate the wort inside the kettle so that warm wort stays in contact with the cooler...

I was planning on slicing the jalopenos in half, removing the seeds, roasting them, and then soaking in vodka and adding them to the secondary.

Yep, they are nothing to joke about. I feel your pain. For me it seems to be just general inflammation due to spring time allergies that brings them on but holy hell batman, they lay me out in pain.

Welcome!

Agreed, although currently I can chill my 5gal brews in 10mins with my 50' immersion chiller so I have not had much of a concern. For me only the first couple mins of the initial cold water going through comes out warm verging on hot. After that the remainder is just as ice cold as the water...

While doing research today on Migraines and there tiggers I came across a thread relating to alcohol and certain types being triggers. For many years I shy'd away from IPA's and IIPA's because the very hoppy ones would sometimes trigger issues for me. So of course I grew interested as I read the...

Yep seems to work very well without pouring a bunch of water down the drain or into the yard.

While I agree that it is way to sweet, much like drinking your dessert, it wasn't all that bad. My wife and her girlfriends love it.

Atwater - PoorBoy, it smells and tastes like fish. Very hard to get past, drank a couple of them and had others taste them at the same time without offering any up front opinion on them and we all came to the same conclusion every time. Disgusting.

Seems like a good way to increase the bang for your buck as far as water usage. I have seen guys use pumps that just recirculate water from an ice bath through the chiller, I've seen guys run the exit hose into their washing machine to fill it up for a load of wash, plenty of ways to re-use the...

It hasn't worked for me yet..... #!$!#%#%!#:mad:

Agreed, that looks knarly.

Agreed, I have seen some beers that finish the primary phase quite quickly and then can be racked and bottled faster than others. The simple way to tell like blizz said is to test it and see for yourself. But every time you dip in there you run the risk of contamination. I just take the better...

2wks in the primary sounds like you will end up with some cider tasting beer. I would let it go at least another week but if you are in a rush then letting it sit longer than normal in the bottles should help it clear up, not sure about the taste though.
