1.5 qts to lbs. I know it's not the grain crush because I've seen pictures of what a perfect crush looks like. Mine is coming out very similar. Having researched a bit on the net, I'm also thinking that my sparge might be too fast (there's a joke there I'm sure). As I'm new to this, i'm...

No. Not doing that. I did just order a pH tester as I have just been assuming that 60 minutes is long enough to date. I'm not sure what type of adjustments I should be making though?

At least I got to brew twice today, but as I'm still new to AG I'm having problems with my efficiency. I brewed an Arrogant Bastard Clone recipe last night with a target OG of 1.078 at 75% efficiency I ended up with 1.069 65%(Better than my 1st attempt of 1.060) Today I brewed an IPA...

Austin Homebrew will ship for $5.99 on all orders. I've used them many times and their grain is excellent. I'm about to order a 40lb bag as well as some other stuff so it's worth it if you plan your orders out. Plus I figure $5.99 covers gas for a trip to the brew store in my area!

Nice summary Bird. I've got a 3 yr old boy who I completely adore. Best part of my day is when I pick him up from daycare and he comes running across the room screaming ABBAA (He's part Israeli so Abba means daddy). Funny how life changes when the munchkins enter.

Yeah moorbeer sucks. Try Austin Homebrew. I like these guys a lot. Just ordered one myself. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_21_77_155_421&products_id=10285

LOL! I have one of those scales and made a joke about it being leftover from my dorm around a bunch of people at my last brew party. No one got it so I'm assuming they didn't have as much fun in college as I did! :o

My first Oatmeal Stout was one of my favorite I've brewed. I steeped the Black and Roasted Barley along with some Chocolate Malt and Flaked Oatmeal. Here's my recipe: .75 lbs Roasted Barley .5 lbs Chocolate Malt .2 lbs Black Malt 1 lbs Flaked Oatmeal 3 lbs Pale LME 2 lbs Amber...

I've heard of Dog Spit IPA before but this clever name might not work on a label. :drunk:

Thanks! Just snatched one as I've been looking for a reasonably priced one for a bit. I use ProMash too so that should work well to convert it. :mug:

I've been off the nicotine for about 5 years now. I ran a Marathon in 2004 and running does help for the first year or so. Over the past 5 years I've actually made it a point to smoke 2 or 3 cigarettes and then not any more for another 6 months just to prove to myself I have complete control...

Its excelent. I scored some by visiting the website to see where it's distributed. They don't keep it out in the open, only keep some in the back for people who ask for it. I lucked into 6 of them Drank 2 and I'm keeping the rest to open once every 6 months for the next 2 years. Love...

Sorrry didn't sit through the whole web thing. Was it a joke or did it just explain it? From what I saw it was just explaining it (gave it the college try :mug: )

Neverland Responding to Hell from Denny

I dunno, I just upgrade my 5 Gal to a 10 gal Mash the other day (yes, POL after 2 beers I realized I needed more space) I'd check here: http://brewd00d.infinites.net/ Prices are pretty good. Another thing I like about having the square MT instead of the deep round one is it's easier to...

Read the book. It explains it rather well. I thought it was a crappy movie until I read it a few year back. Still a crappy movie because you can't figure out what's going on unless you read the story, but its a great story.

Can you expand on that glycol cooled jacket comment a bit? I'm really trying to avoid buying a chest freezer for my temp controlled fermenting environment so any insight is appreciated.

I just experienced this with Oxy Clean. Put in 2 tablespoons into my 6 gallon caked over Better Bottle and let it sit for about 5 hours. Dumped it out and it was clean as a whistle! Wonder if the same company makes Cascade.

I'm in. I have an Oatmeal Stout, Octoberfest, IPA and I guess I could part with one of my Barleywines since I've got another batch in secondary clearing right now! :)
