For a minute there I was wondering if i was on the right forums...lol. Its a cool piece for sure. Not sure how you came to own it . I'm a handy fabrication guy and I like the lamp idea, a hall tree/coat rack if nothing else. . Not sure how you feel about the subject but you could "steam punk "...

you know, its very hard to know when someone is joking through a keyboard and computer. ive had many a conversation with others who were and are dead serious about the kegging vs bottling debate. I just thought you were one of them. No harm , no foul. enjoy your brewing.

first of all ,i got away from using priming sugar a few years ago. i use saved unfermented wort added back at bottling. i figure out how much i need per gravity , pour half my saved amount in the bottling bucket before draining the fermenter to the bucket. it swirls it gently to mix as it fills...

this is why i still bottle

the whole BIAB thing has me curious and you do an overnight mash? how do you keep the tannins from becoming too high?

im going to say mashout isnt exactly necessary. a lot of home brewers dont. I run it to the boil kettle. Once i get an inch of wort to the bk, the heat goes on. once the bk hits 170 (generally my mash tun is at 152-154 so 170 isnt that far to raise the temp another 16-18 degrees) it'll stop the...

Googled- The primary purpose of a the mashout step is twofold– in addition to halting enzymatic activity and locking in the intended wort profile, raising the temperature at the end of the mash also reduces viscosity to make for easier lautering.

never knew there was basic brewing radio existed...im on pandora on a regular basis , i wonder if they have an I-heart radio station on there. edit - Found it on YouTube. thanks a lot , now i can drive my wife crazy with brewing videos too. lol

honestly that book is an easy read, all 450 pages. sit your kids down and read it to them , lol. im not sure if a audio book will get you the same results, theres charts and pictures you'll need to see to understand the content. i think i read it in 3 days. i couldnt put it down. other thing, i...

im not sure, as i stated earlier, its Lallemande Premium series English style ale yeast .

I've never made mead, i dont think ive ever drank any either but is bread yeast really supposed to be used ?? I mean , i know distillers use bread yeast for corn mashes but i dont know much of anything about mead.

Checked my fermentation this morning and its chugging along really well. 3/4" of kraeusen on top . I wasnt able to put a blow off tube on it last night , im not even sure where mine went. so , i'll make myself a note to get more hose.

THIS ^ . As I stated previously, I started brewing roughly 6 yrs ago. I started with a couple extracts, and I've made this comparison before and no slam to anyone who likes extract brewing, hear me out and pay attention to what I show in parenthesis....to me its like saying you made soup but you...

Its in a 8 gallon fermonster and only a 6 gallon batch so i have room , but i definitely will put a BOT on it tonight. I have had a couple batches blow right out , made a huge mess. yeast everywhere. i did a few things different today . i actually used a hop sock for each addition , so i didnt...

From what Ive read, its only supposed to have an ABV of a 5.5% . If mine finishes out at 1.02 it'll be dang near a 6.5%

lol, my 7 wk old grand daughter burps like a caveman.

i've been wanting to brew for a few months, just didnt have time. Over coffee I read up on "brewing the perfect ESB" and set out to do just that. so , with the wife off to work ,and a beautiful morning waiting on parts for my OTHER project, i set out to brew up "the perfect ESB" . i had 10 lbs...

it wasnt quite the simple yes or no answer. the guy is reaching out for some help getting started...which im sure thats the entire purpose of this site.

when you do brew, make sure before you even start that you have everything in front of you. set aside the whole day. ive got my sessions down to 6 hrs from a pot of cold strike water to a chilled wort in the fermenter and equipment put away. longer if i do a more complicated step mash.

I live in north east/north central Alabama at 1300 ft ASL. I should have had the best year for hops , the 3rd year for half my bines . 2nd for others and planted a couple new ones. we had plenty of rain ( but it was non-stop rain sometimes for days) we had sunshine( but it got HOT way early) At...
