You mean should be at FG before bottling? If I'm not mistaken you can rack to a secondary even if the FG wasn't reach?

That's what I'd do if I was a little bit more experienced. But I'll have to wait to see how this one turns out! That was my own recipe (You can call me crazy) so I'd like to taste it to see how it taste to adjust some of the thing I made. I added hops at 10 and 5 minutes and I'd like to see how...

I'm so eager to drink it :) It's my first brew ever. But I'll let it in the secondary for at least 3 week so it condition just fine. :)

It's an english brown ale (very strong brown color lol). ABV should be 4.2% I don't intend to dry hop, but I would still like to rack it for various reasons. One being trying racking because I've never done that. So I could leave it in the primary 1 more week and then move in the secondary...

I have a brew in my primary fermenter that's been here for 6 days. I wanted to know how long can i leave it in the primary before I move it to the secondary? I first intended to let it sit for 1 week in the primary then rack it in the secondary for 3 weeks but I lack time this week to do it...

Only heat sticks?

I wasn't going for BIAB. But yeah Anyhow I'm pretty much ****ed :) What I'd hope is to move in a new house and get a garage so I can either do it with propane burner or get another stove but without glass stove top and then use a heat stick. But for the moment since we don't plan moving in the...

Yeah by what I could read on the net I think the answer will be "Tested to 50lb, over that it's not under warrenty" but problem is a 6 GAL batch with 7-8-9 GAL on the stove top will weight over that :)

I was told by the guys at my homebrewshop that it was near-instant. You spray, don't wipe, don't rinse and dip. But as a carefull person I'm confirming what I'm being told. I'm a bit skeptical that they could be this wrong but heh nobody's perfect.

I'm using this (50g for 4 L dissolution IIRC) to do my sanitizing of equipment before putting it in my cool wort. I was wondering what are the do/don't with it. I use a spray bottle to spray on my items 3-4 second before I put it in the wort. Is this a good way of using it? Before I take...

And it did not crack? If only I knew my stove top would support this weight it would be easier to decide :) When doing BIAB do you need more water and bigger pot? or do you top off with water when it's done mashing?

Yeah, which is why I don't wana go this route lol

Yeah, in a near future I'd like to move and get a garage too. This would make my life a lot easier. So 6 GAL batch on the glass stove top was fine? So you'd start with 7-8-9 GAL and the glass didn't break?

Should end with 3g in each for 6g batch :) But yeah. Cooling 1 worth, remove and immerse the IC in the hot wort is not too dangerous for infection? (I know the IC was "sanitized" during the boil of the first, but I was wondering if the process of moving from a cool wort to a hot wort was bad)...

I would need another IC for that, and even that, I cannot plug two on my sink. Would need to make some modifications :S And cooling one after the other might be taking too long isn't it?

As I said a heat stick might be a good idea. I would need to borrow a big pot and see how fast it can boil water with just my stove. (Apparently some are better than other so I'd have to see). I'm also highly concerned that I put too much weight on my glass stove top. Ah yeah a bigger tun...

Yeah a heat stick + the stove might be a good idea. I'm planing to build myself a mash tun with a cooler, so I won't be doing BIAB. But why do very high gravity batch would need a bigger pot?

I already have a IC. My partial boil gets cold very fast lol. Outdoor brewing is not much of an option for me, specially during winter. So a full boil for a 6 GAL batch might be too long to do on a stovetop? Damn. I was already thinking getting an electric heater (I heard some people use...

I currently do 6 GAL batch with a 15L pot. Since my pot isn't big enough I must do partial boil. I'm highly interested in doing full batch so I'm looking for a new pot. I would like to know what size of pot should I be looking for to make full boil with extract? And I know in a near future...

Hey thanks guys for the tips. I finally made my first brew and realized many things. First off yeah, I boiled 1 gal per hour or so. And I should get a new pot, problem is, I'd like to finally do all grain so I'd like to plan what I should buy. And my stove is one with the glass surface, so I...
