About to brew this using the extract recipe. Everything i have read suggests that one should not steep Munich and Melanoiden - what are other folks doing when brewing this in extract form? Also the OG comes out very low when steeping these, is a partial mash required? Will these grains even...

Unfortunatly a full sized fridge won't fit where I need it to go. I suppose a freezer cold, but it seems cost prohibitive once temp control and such was added in. Really was hoping to find a 200ish new fridge that could hold two kegs, off or both of which was a sixtel.

Seeking a compact refrigerator that can how two pin lock or two sixtels without breaking the bank. It seems most compact 4.x sized fridges are barely wide enough for two ball locks so pin lock is out. Anyone have a suggestion?

What did you use to carb p the bottles? It it possible that more of it ended up in some bottles causing some (one) to overcatb while others are flat?

Bingo! thanks. Hopville's numbers now basically match beersmith's - so I guess tastybrew is wrong..... weird

Using beersmith and only changing the pre boil volume moves my IBU from "in the green" with a 2.5 gal boil to "in the red" with high IBU with a 5 gal boil which is what had be worried. The tastybrew calculator shows IBU dropping based on pre boil volume. I am completely missing where I can...

I missed the ability to adjust boil volume there, will have to take a look again - so you. basically get the the same results as beer smith

I wanted to adjust a recipe from a partial boil to full boil. I have read many many many many threads with different information and others that simply said use a calculator to see the difference. I tried both Beersmith and TastyBrew.com but got grastically different results. At a 5...

Discoby - did your immersion Chiller fully submerge in your 15 gal pot when doing 5 gal batches?

I don't know if I will do 10gal, but I know I will start with 5. I am worried that if I get a 20 gal kettle to start that it will be too big for 5gal batches, liquid to shallow to fully submerge the wort chiller specifically.

I have read over and over that you can't buy too large of a kettle, and advise such as buy as big as you can afford. I am planning on starting with standard 5gal batches, I intend to buy a wort chiller as well. I am wondering, at what size kettle, with just 5gallons of liquid would the wort...

I saw a few suggestions to head south into Columbia, if you are there try out Frisco Taphouse & Brewery

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Last time I checked it was just under 10k for a barrel, and the bottles from the barrel (250x750ml bottles). They will allow you tome come and pick the barrel, then the bottle it and you get the cases and the barrel. Many moons ago myself and another buddy...

So I am brand new to this, learning / equipment purchasing phase. I keep reading how the valve makes it so much easier even with an IC because you can drain through the valve into the fermenter without moving the kettle. Do i assume that means everyone is boiling at some reasonable height...
