sampled this today and smells like paint thinner/solvent..... ?

Here's something I came up with. Let me know what you guys think. Heated 1.5 gal of water to 170. 2lbs of Chocolate patent malt was then steeped in a grain sack at 150 for 45minutes. The grain sack was removed and the wort was brought to a boil. I then added: 1lb Maltodextrin 3lb of...

<deleted> meant to start my own thread. Sorry

Make sure to remove and clean the seals. Sometimes they are the source of the smell and often overlooked.

My fishing buds hear this from me occasionally. The boat runs on gas..... not thanks.

Is Rocky Top the one that used to be out near Mud Bay? I tried to find it the other day and came up empty.

I am proud to say it is happily bubbling away.

Keeping in mind that I have very little experience..... My Wife and I were cleaning the cupboard out and I found about 3/4 lb of extra light dme that had been forgotten. One drink led to another... and the next thing you know we had a pot boiling with some water, a cup of sugar and a...

Where do you get brewing stuff in Rockinchester? I always head to Lacey.

Thanks for all the replies. Especially the list from consumerrpts. As much as I would love gas it is simply not an option where we are. We were previously on propane but the costs have skyrocketed and my place is not on a route. Getting the tank filled was always a hassle and was 75-100$...

As the title says, our fifteen year old range gave up tonight during dinner. A nice shower of sparks, a blown breaker, and it appears that the circuit board if done. Fortunately for the short term we have a motorhome and can cook dinners out there? I'm not interested in fixing, so it will be...

Congrats man, enjoy your homebrew.

Thanks for those links. I came across this as well. It's a good chart listing the different characteristics. http://byo.com/resources/yeast

I found mine at the local Ace hardware store. They are usually in with the specialty screws and electrical items. Ours has an aisle with all these types of things in little boxes on slide out trays with various sizes. I believe I used the 5/16". I also found these online...

Am I correct in assuming that I need to find the yeast best suited for the temperature range I can control, as a general statement?

Thanks for pointing that out. I was headed back to the site to get the information.

Thanks for the information. I don't have a controlled environment to ferment in other than a dark cupboard in my heated/airconditioned house. I have an old recording thermometer and the temperature is stable between 67-70. In the past I have never given any consideration to yeast. Just...

I'm looking at ordering a Double Chocolate Stout kit from AHS. They list three different yeasts as options. What effect does the yeast impart on the final product? Is there a reason to choose one over the other. I have always brewed kits and just used what came with it for the most...

Iv'e never heard of him before.

I did not get the homer lid yet. However I did go out and measure all of my pails ranging from 5.0-6.5 gal. Every one of them had a 10.25" diameter bottom and a 12.25" diameter top. Including the homer bucket. My "Ale Pail" lid fits the homer bucket. What varies is the height of the...
