Update: I again doubled the amount of wort up to 4 cups and let it ferment for another two days. After that I added it to a larger container with 4 more cups of wort. I waited a few more days and I think I'm pretty much done. I mixed up the solution and dumped it between three mason jars...

That and it's constantly aerating the wort.

Just checked out the recipe and noticed the calculations make it a 20% + ABV drink! I'm seriously considering this recipe for my first mead, it looks mighty tasty. edit: will this really get down to 1.008?

Very nice! Six keggles in one shot is a sight to see. Was this all done in one mash tun? That thing is huge. How about some more details on the beer.

You haven't lived until you're inside of a mash tun! That's an awesome picture.

Cool! Pictures always get me excited... I need to find some good honey now.

So do you all plan to rack about 5 gallons back into your own carboys and go from there? After the first post I kept thinking how insanely awful it would be to bottle that much beer at once!

I started out getting my grain from Tri-State but it's expensive. I usually get it from the old post office wine cellar. They sell bulk grain for really good prices, blows Tri-State out of the water! This time I went to market time drug to pick up some DME for yeast cultivation and asked about a...

Nice! I'm guessing the three on the end are from your stout, or maybe it's just darker in that corner. Throw up some pics when that yeast settles down.

That's all that matters, I'm so impatient most of my beers are gone by the time the conditioning would really help. Drink up!

are you saying you will sell some of them and ship em out in an envelope + stamp? If so how much do you want for one?

I had done some searching online but never found anyone that was able to propagate yeast from mocha porter. I saw the most popular were the shakespear stout, brutal bitter, and many people trying dead guy as well. I really didn't expect to get any yeast out of one 12 ounce bottle of mocha...

I added more wort this morning and tonight I have even more sediment at the bottom! I'm excited about getting some pacman for free. Hopefully I can build this up enough by Tuesday for my next brew. I'll post some more pics of the harvested yeast tomorrow. Thanks for the reassurance guys.

I had a 12 ounce bottle of Rogue Mocha Porter and I figured I would try and get some yeast out of it. I know most people try it with Shakespear bombers but this is what I had and I wanted to try something new. I hope this is working and isn't a complete waste of time! Here's what I started...

I just picked up a 55lb bag of Gambrinus Pale Malt at my LHBS for $35! The price wasn't marked and I asked what they wanted for it. I didn't plan on buying it, but when she said 35 I couldn't pass it up. Is it safe to assume this stuff is just as good as any other 2-row American base malt?

So what is actually under all that insulation? Give us some specs too!

You inspired me to post to craigslist wanted ads for a keg. I have been looking for months and hadn't found anything. But I just got a reply a few hours afterwards and I'll b picking up a keg in the morning! I'm really excited. I think kegs really are the best option in my opinion.

The estimated shipping cost is over $50 to Idaho!! Unreal

Yeah, even though I've sold both my sevens I still consider myself a rotorhead! I make sure to bug SWMBO about getting another one all the time. I always keep my eye open for a good deal on an FC.
