I would def get a bigger co2 tank. You can get a lot bigger tanks for not a whole lot more money right now. For instance rebelbrewer.com has a 10# for. $68 or a 20# for $85. I'm not sure how you get your co2 filled where you are at, but here the welding distributor that fills mine has a min...

I made mine with 3lbs of 2 row and .75lbs of crystal 60. I saw it suggested early in the thread to do this, but I have not kegged mine yet to see how it tastes. I'm sure it will be fine...I don't use any extracts in any beers either. I would prob bump up your crystal 40 to 1 lb and you should...

They aren't exposed to air. CO2 is heavier and pushed all the air out through your air lock.

That's how I've done it twice and it turned out great!

Wow that seems out of the ordinary from Northern Brewer. I've ordered from them a ton of times and I believe the longest processing time I've had with them is 2 days. Normally it was within 24 hrs and it was shipped. I really like them, because they stand behind their product. I have had a...

You can set the kettle into the ice water as suggested above, or I use a Blichman Therminator plate chiller. It's pricey, but never clogs up on me and will cool the wort as fast as I can gravity drain my kettle. Takes normally 5-10 mins depending on my batch size. I don't like trying to move 5...

10 gallons of a red ale, 5 gallons of ESB, & 5 gallons of a graham cracker ale recipe I just found. Defiantly something different I've never heard of or tried. Better get moving its gonna be a busy day

I would really recommend you getting a 15 gallon pot or converting a sanke keg. If you are like me then after you get a few 5 gallon batches done and find a recipe that you really like you will want to make 10 gallons at a time. It doesn't take that much longer and you get twice the beer.

My wife LOVES this beer. Had a couple of buddies over last night and they think this is the best one I've ever made. Making another 10 gallons this afternoon. It looks like its going to be one of the beers I keep on tap year round. Thanks again for this recipe.

I just used regular clover honey from Walmart at the end of the boil. It dissolves and then is part of he wort.

I consistently hit 80% or better efficiency also doing biab. It's easy to do and you are only a bag away from doing all grain. With that 10 gallon pot you would def. have enough room in it to do pretty big beers for 5 gallon batches.

^ Believe me I know. She doesn't realize however that I have another 5 gallons of it ready sitting in a secondary just waiting for a space to open up in the kegerator.

Still loving this beer...going to have to make another 10 gallon batch soon. I even got my father in law to want a second glass last night. He normally doesn't wants to try any of the beers, because they aren't Busch Light. We are going to have a bunch of people over and my wife wants me to take...

Holy smokes 9 months to a year before it tastes good, sure does seem pretty long for a beer that isn't very strong.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't really of heard of it before, but it looks like what I was looking for. Didn't realize it was normally made with that much apple juice. Thanks

Does anyone have a good recipe for a good apple ale recipe. My wife really loves angry orchard and that reds apple ale. I would love to make her something like that, but I'm not really sure where to start to get all that apple flavoring. I'd really prefer an all grain recipe. Thanks for all your...

Anyone brewed this with and without the honey? Made 10 gallons with the honey and it tastes great. I was thinking of making it without in order to help drop the alcohol, so my wife can have a few more. Does it taste the same?
