Nice brew day today. That's the surly with the blowoff rig. This is my first blowoff setup, so somebody let me know if it doesn't look right. I had a bit of an issue with time management . Had to rack secondary to keg and, rack primary to secondary and clean and sanitize everything on the fly in...

I'm in Louisiana. We're left out of the real surly, but order an official surly furious "recipe" kit(not clone) and make youself some. The beauty of homebrew

Yep. Northern brewer / surly collaboration. Should be the real recipe. I'm excited about it. Should I maybe try to step up the starter? Or will that do the trick

I did a stone ipa clone and made a big starter like that with wyeast 1968 and it took off like a rocket after I pitched it. Blew up in my fermentation freezer. Ka-boom krausen everywhere. Blew lid off my ale pail. It was amazing, turned out to be absolutely delicious. Best batch I ever made...

Yup. Anybody every tried surly furious? I got the kit hoping for a delicious ipa, never tried the stuff though.

1335 British Ale II wyeast. 1/2 cup muttons light dme. 3 cups water. 2000 ml flask. 1/8 tsp fermax. Boiled everything but the yeast for about 4 minutes then cooled it down to room temp & pitched. Tomorrow will be my second shot at all grain brewing.

Fermentation is a beautiful thing

Yesterday turned into a very long day. getting everything cleaned and put together took a long time. I didnt have too much trouble with the brewing though. A couple of things a ran into: The water hose fittings i got for the therminator were no good. I got 3/4" garden hose to 3/4" NPT... oh...

Recirculation begins. I have the tun sitting on a stool on top of the table. I'm currently conducting a labor intensive manual fly sparge involving me scooping 175 degree water out of my old extract brew pot from the stove to the tub. It requires me slowly dumping water as to not disturb the...

Mash is underway. Austin homebrew sent some nice instructions with the kit. Ideal mash temp 150. They said strike with 20 degrees higher . A couple ice cubes later and the lid went on. Earlier I got the hoses set up on the therminator so chilling should be a breeze. This all grain thing isn't so...

So I didnt get to set up last night. Today I'm getting everything clean and assembled. I got my measurements for kettle depth/volume. Ill try to grab a dowel to mark up and keep on hand. Hopefully I can get started soon. Advice from you guys is golden. I'll try to take a good bit of photos.

Ive brewed up 8 extract batches, with great results since i started this wonderful "brewing" lifestyle. Over the last couple week I've been acquiring parts for my switch to AG. Built a home depot 10 gallon mash tun with a cpvc inscribed square manifold. Got my hands on a therminator . Refitting...

thanks for the quick feedback! I set the freezer to 60 and ill watch it and adjust every hour or so untill bed to get fermentor down to 65. This is my first shot at fermentation with a cooler, as well as my first time using a starter. I'll know what to do for the next batch to keep it under...

I aquired a freezer with temp controller and im using it as a fermentation chamber. i boiled an AHS stone ipa clone last night,pitched a big wy 1968 starter, threw it in freezer and set the temp to 70. Just now I peeked in to see how the bubbles were coming along, and boom. The top has blown off...

brass knuckles? maybe a hand grenade or pipebomb or widdle out and paint green a blown up hop bud. Bong? hmm....
