I'll be signing up as soon as I get home! Thanks for the post! I can't wait!

Sounds like a nightmare! I I learned any thing from you it's too verify my bazooka tube and braid are absolutely secure before I mash! Thanks for sharing!

U don't want too much light in your ferm-chamber the threads I have seen about the paint can heater recommend only one small hole near the bottom so you know it's on. The can should produce enough heat by its self as long as you use a regular light bulb. Remember the bight the watt bulb the more...

Yeah bud no problem

I wait a couple of days

Of coarse I carb with co2 when I keg it...

Make a starter I belie it's a 4-1 ration of water to DME There are plenty of videos on line and you don't need a stir plate just shake it up every couple of hours. It will make a difference. Also you can make a stir plate for very cheep for future starters I made mine for 15$

Awesome

[ The raisins were hit with a propane torch to until the skin blistered and bubbled. I drew wort off the kettle, pureed the raisins, and dumped the slurry into the hop bag to keep the wort clean. Why the torch on the raisins?

Sounds amazing I want to try it

Ok so I brewed again today and took detailed notes throughout the extended 8 hour process so here it is First I'll give my first running numbers and recipe so you can see what the outcome is Arrogant Bastard Clone #2 Single mash infusion,( over night to lessen brew day today.) temp @ 1am was...

one o the benefits of kegging is you don't have to wait for the bottle conditioning is true but the beer still needs to age. The main benefit IOC kegging is you don't have to fill 50 bottles and find a closet to store them in while they carb up. And the best benefit is you have it on tap. ;)...

I'm sure it would work great. I can't wait to get back at it. It's been almost 3 weeks and I'm itching to get some more product in my lines. They are low due to me not closing my keg tap all the way last weekend and basically dumped my entire AB CLONE. Talk about heart break

Yes I dry hop in primary. I kinda like to let it age a little before I start drinking it all. If I'm bottling I usually let it sit about 2 weeks but when I keg I let it age a little first then I keg it. I also don't have much free time so when SWMBO has plans I don't get to play in the garage

Yeah I can see how it's almost a 3rd running. With the sparge and all. And your right about not having the body or the special aromas. It's truly no match for the first running but it seems to be a hit for my friends and family who don't like heavy beers. I've been adding DME and plan on...

I'm planning on a second attempt with an AB clone this weekend and plan on using citra and cascade for my second beer. I also have a couple pounds of Munich that I'm thinking about adding to the second mash or steeping before the boil I havnt made my mind up quite yet.

That sounds delicious. I didn't record my OG but my pre boil gravity was 1.070. Doing the second running makes your brew day very long so don't drink too much. The second time I did it I mashed the grains the second time and put them in a clean bucket and sealed them and the next day I boiled...
