I've been looking into solar for many years, but the benefits so far haven't been justifiable for me. I moved from WA state and I never could justify the cost versus return. When I looked into it pretty seriously (2-3 years ago), a system to offset only about half of our usage would have been...

Is it though, especially if all electric? We (family of 4-5) used to live in WA state and had a 1984, 2000 SF rambler, but had a pool, hot tub, well about 150' deep and detached shop. All electric, propane only used for occasional shop heat. I kept up on things, used new appliances, had a...

Thank you for the generosity!

Could use one of these for certain. Thanks for the giveaway!

That is good to know. That is the same yeast I was planning to use. Is the Brewer's Friend yeast calculator maybe too conservative?

Oh true, that was dumb of me.

I am interested in one day trying this recipe, so I went thru a recipe builder and all. I am still a novice for a lot of this, but noticed it to be considered a "high gravity" beer so I checked around on yeast since I see a lot of references to folks making starters for "big beers." Per...

I see your point about dry hopping and spunding. I have yet to do a dry hop batch, but I don't think you'd want to leave the hops in the keg indefinitely or you'll likely get too much hop flavor over time. Perhaps they are processes that cannot effectively coexist.

It's nice to have an airlock on there to verify gas escape.

I have to say this looks amazing. Based on the nearly 23# grain bill, I think I'd have to scale it down a bit to fit in my 10.25G kettle. I am still a bit of a newbie and this one looks like an advanced batch, I may need to stash this one for a later date once I feel more comfortable. Still...

This is what I recently started doing. I also have a floating dip tube in my fermenter (came with it). It is helpful in keeping a fair amount of trub out of the keg, but you do need to account for the loss if you want a full 5G in the keg. Last time I made a batch I wanted to find out just...

Use the Pro version of the app (refer to this thread)

Was at a restaraunt called Snapperz in Atlantic Beach.

I just had my first yesterday and found it to perhaps be the best beer I've ever had. I didn't know what a "milkshake IPA" was but while vacationing near the Outer Banks, we went to a restaurant that had one from Shortway Brewing Co. They call it "Hippy IPA" and I fell in love. Had no idea...

Right on, thanks for the feedback.

+1 for Wilser bags. I picked up the Denny's pkg and have brewed but one batch so far, but have no reason to think it won't last a long time. It was my first BIAB experience and went well. The bags clean up a lot easier than expected.

About 1.5 hrs north of you in the SW part of the Triad, NC.

As far as expense, I just looked at the Fermzilla which seems popular and has the benefit of holding pressure as well. The price of that with the pressure kit is pretty comparable to the Kegmenter. You can harvest trub and/or yeast with the Fermzilla if that matters to you. For me, I so far...

I have just moved over to BIAB, have only done one batch so far. That one was a 5.5G batch that used 11.5# of grain and had just under 8G of starting water. I intentionally bumped it up a little so I have 5G going into the keg. My kettle is 10.25G (actual) and seems pretty good for the 5G-ish...

I am still only one batch into BIAB brewing, so trying to dial in water volume. I am using both the calcs here listed below and get different starting volumes. Brew in a Bag (BIAB) Calculator ~ and https://pricelessbrewing.github.io/BiabCalc/#Advanced For this particular batch, the BIAB calc...
