I would like to purchase one of the chugger pumps. I replied to Brett's post on the barley legal fb page tonight too showing interest. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I am still a newbie around here. I brew all grain and recently moved to 10 gallon batches. I have several beers using recipes I've found here with great success. I haven't really found a definitive witbier recepie that will get me close to an Allagash white style that I am shooting for. I...

5 Gallons last night... First attempt. Nice easy brew took less than 2 hours including cleanup. 3152+5=3157

I've done 15 gallons. the first 5 was a big hit so I brewed 10 a few weeks ago more. Racked half of the last batch over a few pounds of Strawberries. :) So 5440 + 15 = 5455

My Keg of this was kicked in less than a week. Many people really liked it.

I brewed a 5 gallon batch of this about 2.5 weeks ago. OG was 1.051 Opened up the primary tonight. Down to about 1.013 . So I dry hopped right in the primary tonight. Sample tasted great. Another 7 days and I will keg cold crash and keg it up. Gonna let it condition a bit in the keg. I was...

i'm in!

It calmed down and the blow off worked fine. Still fermenting very rapidly but the risk of the bung blowing off has subsided. Thanks to everyone who said leave it alone with the blowoff tube.

They are indeed Sanitized. How would I go about cropping some off?

Is this gonna explode? I am already using a blow off tube. Can I transfer some of it into another carboy? What are my options?

So I used the 2565 Kolsh and skipped the lactose. Ended up with a nice Creamy Ale. OG 1.050 FG 1.010. Tastes delicious hint of Vanilla is nice and not too sweet. Thanks again Gill. Letting it clear up a bit in the keg right now. Should be ready for the weekend! :rockin:

Finished up around 1.009 after another 10 days fermenting around 60 degrees. Kegged it up last night forced carbonation and got it in the kegerator to chill down to 36. Just poured a pint and it is very nice. Citrus lemony finish. Awesome stuff. Having a couple while brewing up some Beer...

I moved this to a secondary today after 10 days. Drank my gravity test sample and wow this stuff rocks! The lemon is pretty strong right now but not over powering. Gravity was at 1.010 The yeast was still pretty active so I put it back in the chamber for more fermenting. now running around 60...

Thank you very much Gil for the recipe and the advice. I will post back when I start drinking this.

I took this recipe to my LHBS and he suggested that I should add 1/2# lactose sugar with 15 minutes left in the boil. I am hesitant to try this. Especially after seeing the one case where the guy brewed a sour batch and he added lactose. Any opinions. Also neither lhbs around here has the...

Brewed a batch last night using pretty much exact recepie as posted. Zested three large lemons with a potato peeler. Got just over 2oz of zest. This is my fifth brew ever. In less than 2 months I have been a brewing fool. It is currently Fermenting in the primary at 62ish degrees. I can't...

Clutch kicks ass! The main reason I looked at the receptive was the name! Looks like a good one too. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks for the replies. That is what I was hoping was the case.

Hi I just picked up a 14 CU foot standup freezer. I also ordered an stc-1000. I want to use this mainly for fermenting. My basement in the summer runs around 74 degrees. So can i force the freezer to stay in the low to mid 60s? Can freezers run this warm? Thanks. Jbeerman :rockin:
