Entered... I've never used Imperial Yeast. But this would give me the opportunity to do just that!

Another nice piece from you guys! I'm in the US

Oh so shiny! Yes please!

This could be the push I need to be a cheese maker!

Taste it and if good, keg and drink!

I think that would make an awesome loaf just like that! I'd just drop it on a hot stone and let it bake

A beautiful piece of Stainless! It would look great in my fermentation chamber!

Not a problem. This is actually my base Wheat Beer. I omit the oranges add honey at 180*F during cooling for a Honey Wheat or I ferment and then secondary over Mango and dry pepper with habaneros (my favorite and the most popular for my family).

Isn't that how the US Government sees everything? 'If we buy cheap materials, use under-skilled workers, take kickbacks from the lobbyists and saved $1.5B, that goes to my campaign for re-election, right?'

I agree with the above. Most people don't see a lot of the actual costs. Water for the mash and for cooling (we all pay for it, unless you have a well or a stream on your property), fuel to boil the wort and to heat the strike water, energy to keep the wort at the proper temperature during...

That is why I don't use very much honey. Honey Malt doesn't provide as much honey flavor as you may think, IMO.

I actually use Mexican Sweet Navel Oranges in mine. There is very little pith on them. I cut them into 8ths drop them into a large hop sack and give them a crush with a potato masher. Dump the juice and oranges into the last 5 minutes of the boil. If you want a little honey flavor, try adding...

If you are using the Platinum Strains at $14-$16 per pitch and brewing a minimum of once a week, it can easily cost $1000

Nice color! Congrats on your near completed first brew. Don't forget to let the bottles sit at about 21-23C to properly carbonate.

Welcome from Southern California!

Since you are cold crashing, I wouldn't think you would need to worry about the clarity. If you crash it at a reasonable temperature and let it sit undisturbed for 3 or 4 days, everything *should* drop out of suspension that you need to have drop. Make sure that you let it warm up slightly on...

Second harvest of starter from my 'Mother'. Better activity of the yeast, but not getting the large bubbles trapped in the loaf, but still tastes outstanding!

Finally got some free time to start baking again (started baking cookies for profit in December and haven't had time to bake for myself)... Here is the result of two loaves of sourdough (thanks to @Melana for her awesome starter recipe!).

But you know that you can make them, that is the more important thing. As your home brewery grows you know that you can put together one as you need it.
