I do not BIAB, but OBK is the way to go... Remember to log into your account before you order and you get points that can be redeemed towards future orders.

Thanks everyone - I think these are all good suggestions. Out of some type of postal miracle my order showed up a day earlier than expected, so I have my intended grain! Update - Here is a picture of the last Helles I made being enjoyed in front of the Helles I am brewing. The cycle of violence...

I absolutely have base malt. The recipe has 3.6 kilograms of pilsner as the base malt (about 8lb) and I have a few extra pounds of it on available. I have made this a few times and it works out nicely.

Hey Yooper, Melanoiden I have lots of. It is a small addition and I am 140 grams (5oz) short. Any suggestion on how much melanoiden would be reasonable to offset the 140 grams of munich?

Hey there, I have a window to brew tomorrow after work. I am planning to make the Munich Helles in brewing classic styles. Sadly, I am short on Munich malt. I ordered some, but it will not arrive in time. The recipe calls for 240 grams of Munich malt. I have 100 grams leftover from...

I live in Canada, but the concern still applies (granted only for 3 or 4 months with some breaks in between.. but I am a 4 hour drive to the nearest LHBS in Toronto, so the yeast spends at least 3 or 4 days hanging out with the postal service if I am lucky). What I have done is to use the...

The Brewpi spark is neat and does require some decent "geek cred"... However if you have even a small amount of "geek cred" home brewers should also consider the DIY version of the brewpi that is popular on the forums of this site. You can make a bad-ass brewpi system for between $60 to $100...

Update to my previous post - (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7563219&postcount=5511) The no insulation in the door does not seem to hurt the fridge. Its holding at 50F in a room that is 70F and only running for about 8 to 10 min per hour. Also, my girlfriend made it more awesome...

If you are willing to wait 5 or 6 weeks for shipping you can get the 2 channel relays on eBay for like a $1.50 all in.

Thanks! I am pretty happy with it. Totally fits my biggest 6.5 gal fermenter (the big mouth bubbler). I may need to insulate the door on the outside though, which is fine because it lives in a closet. I am currently running tests at 50F with an electricity usage meter attached.

Hey there everyone. Thanks again to FuzzeWuzze and and everyone who has had their hand in this. Just an amazingly fun, easy and cheap project (especially if you are willing to wait and order the parts directly from China at 20 cents on the dollar compared to Amazon). This is my second build...

Yes, exactly that.. about a full week in the carboy, then into the keg with a fining agent and 30 - 40 PSI

X3 here.. I've done it in 10 days and forgotten about it for a month. They were both just fine.

Hey FuzzeWuzze (and everyone else who contributed to this), Thanks for the tutorial and the work you did on this... I managed to build this largely from parts I had laying around. Finally have a real use for my old Raspberry pi! This looks like it will be a wonderful upgrade from my...

He isn't buying all his stuff for a few more days, so not late at all :)

Thanks for all the replies! My friend has been peering in and finds it all very informative. I think he he leaning towards 5 gal BIAB.. Style yet to be determined.

Thanks everyone. He seems to be waning between a stout and a Belgian. Re the AG - He is going in on this with a friend, so they want to output like 10 gal. 1 GAL batches won't cut it

Hello everyone! I've been at this for about 2 years now went AG from the start. Recently a friend of mine who lives on the other side of the country has asked me for advice on how to get into the hobby. Ideally I'd walk him through a brew day, but that is not possible. I am suggesting he try...

A month in the keg, fined with gelatin. Gravity raised mildly to 1.50 and fermented with Yeast Bay Vermont Ale

Of course! Also the door off the hinges and the wallpapering kit behind it really bring out the hop aroma :)
