I vote for 2-row...can be used for almost anything. Or Sinimar....but I would lean towards 2-row.

Hello and welcome. 7.5 G is not bad for a set-up. The thing is for All Grain, you start with about 6-6.5G and boil it down to about 5g. This leaves little room for space to prevent boilovers. From what I see here, several people use a 30qt/7.5g stock pot with great sucess. You can always...

Yes, I was just there visiting a few weeks ago : http://www.homecraft.on.ca/ Like most brew supply places, they have gone over to wine. He was out of most grains, but said he would be ordering more soon. They have a few good odds n' ends, but think you need to mail-order if you are...

Mental note:do not swap beer with D2T. Great looking mill !

24 hour lag time is not unusual. Sometimes beers also ferment out after 72 hours. This all depends on yeast, type of brew, temps, type of bucket/carboy etc. The normal guideline for beer (average ale) is 7 days in the primary. 14 in the secondary and 3 weeks in the bottle. Did u take any...

I was also told to get mine removed (35 now)....but never did and have no problems. Let me know if you try dryhopping with the Vicadin. Cheers

Cheers, * another carboy * double-bottle washer (see review section of this forum) * autosyphon ***but the #1 thing for me is this forum*****

Check this out (if you already haven't). http://www.howtobrew.com/section3/chapter15-1.html Most people don't even look at their muni reports (unless they have a problem with something, and have tried all other options). That being said, it would be interesting to see if anything is out...

Here is a link the HBT reference guide for various ingredients, including hops: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=25383 Cheers

I actually thought of that as well.....but that would almost be as expensive as a real mill. :cross: I also thought that the concrete cement may also lead to stuck sparges. I have been looking around for real mills.| Cheers,

Messing with the secondary can cause problems. No recipes are exact - so don't worry about being dead on. Good beer is good beer, even if it isn't 100% according the the model. Also, depending on the time/temp/yeast, you may drop a few more points. If you are dead set on getting an...

Maybe thats the route to go....I read a few threads on corona mills here...My concern was about the larger grain bill. You solution sounds good !

I guess if I added a metal plate instead of a patio stone, it would start to get more costly....but I would also need a way of stopping the dust from the rolling pin from getting into the crush.

I am pretty cheap, and a little creative (sometimes). I can get a corona style grain mill for $30....but I brew 10G batches: so thats about 25 lbs of grain. I dont feel like cranking or hooking up a drill to a dinky set up for fear of it breaking. Ok...here is the crazy idea. What if I used...

Welcome ! How was the brew day?

Right, the short story, several years B4 the movie really goes into detail about the monolith. The name escapes me, but it was one hell of a good short story.

:ban: I wouldn't....It may produce a sulfur smell...you may also need a blow-off tube.

So I made a batch in about 1/2 hour today. Here is what I used: Total volume: 5.5 G 3 cans of no-name frozen concentrate pure apple juice 4 2L bottles of pure apple juice 2 2L bottles of pure apple/blueberry juice 1 2L bottle of blueberry juice. Topped up to 5.5G level with about 1G...

If the readings are the same over three days and its within the target zone (like yours) ...its done fermenting. Cheers,

I have a similar set-up - but with the laundry sink. I taped styrofoam insulation to it and can get 50F temp. (ambient temp 70F) when I add about 2-3L of ice everyday. I used about $25 woth of styrofoam, insulation foam, and plastic and it took my 1/2 hour. Maybe one day I'll get a...
