I second the Vittle Vaults. I've had 5 large ones for almost 8 years and they still look new. Stackable and airtight. Not the cheapest but they will last longer than you'll live!

I did use it one time where I forgot to add the nutrients but kicked it up with lots of oxygen and it kicked off fine.

Finally got to brew yesterday. Pitched some at 91 degrees in a 1.052 beer at 1 pm (don't want the wedding to be full of drunks) and by 8 pm, it was booking it! Woke up this morning and it's sitting at 87 and no airlock activity. I know that means nothing but I don't doubt it's nearly done. I...

Thanks! My plan is to chill down to 90, pitch the yeast and find the warmest place in the house or utility room to keep it close to between 85-90 as I can the first 2 days. By then, the majority of the fermentation will be done and the temp on the way down.

I'm going to try this yeast for only the second time. First time at 97 it was (actually, still is) awesome. Should be a house pale but, I plan on making a NEIPA for my nieces wedding. I am pretty sure I won't be able to get it to 97 this time. Likely, only the upper 70;s, lower 80's so what...

Thanks, I've read this and seen this on youtube. Just need some parts and I should be good to go.

I kind of figured that. I'll try again and attempt to be as O2 free as possible.

I have a chest freezer with inkbird wifi and I usually set the temp at 66 during the first week, raising to 68 when I dry hop (except for the Kveik which I fermented at 95). I have an SS Brewtech fermenter and I only open the lid once to add dry hops. I then do direct to keg transfer (no using...

I have a High Gravity BIAB system. Never had an oxidation problem, they just don't have the aroma and flavor that everyone seems to get out of their recipes. One recipe I used Imperial Juice, one I used Hornindal Kviek and another I used a British ale yeast (1318????). I've tried 2 row with...

I've made 4 NEIPA's and 1 sucked and 3 were somewhat ok but just not great. I've tried different hops, water treatments, yeast and grain but nothing has wowed me. Actually, I've tried probably 50 different hazy beers locally and nationally and very few are stellar, most are just average. So...

I don't but know a few guys that don't use the basket and put the bag on the element (using the BoilCoil in the HG system) and have no problem. It is ultra low watt density. However, I prefer not to take any chances damaging the coil or uneven heating so I use the basket. Also, Basic Brewing...

I'm almost 1 year in with my HG system and love everything about it though I have to say, many have been pleased with the other systems linked in the OP's post. I went with a 15 gallon kettle (SSBrewTech) and have brewed lots of beers on it and every single one of them has been excellent (I'm do...

I too use the hose but have used it for a blow off for over 4 years and it has never been a problem. Just looks ugly. I don't soak it to very long but the end that sits in the jar has been cut off a bit every year or so.

Sorry, I somehow missed this! The beer was phenomenal! My brother had stopped brewing for a while, got into kegging and this was his first beer brewing again. He picked a recipe of a semi-clone to Wookie and we brewed it and it only lasted 3.5 weeks in the keg (that's not long for the few...

First concert was Grand Funk Railroad in 1973 and the last (I really can't remember) was Rush's Farewell tour. Tickets too damn high for me to go see the bands I want to! Not asked but I've seen lots of bands over the years, the biggest names of the 70's, 80's, and 90's and I may be old but I...

I've got a freezer full of Farmhouse hops. Never let me down.

You should email them and asked. I did for their black ryepa and they wouldn't give me the exact recipe but gave me a rough idea and it came out very close.

None of us know what really happened and lots of what was said was pure BS. The NFL knew it but chose not to let the whole story out. Those of us who know players and personnel know that most of what the outside heard was made up. And if you think other teams weren't doing the exact same...

If you consider how the refs managed to blow another easy peasy decision right before the half and most likely would have meant a field goal going into the half and then having 37 seconds to get the kicker into a not very likely FG to win, plus 370 yards passing even forgetting his past record...

Awesome job! And, made in America! :)
