I used a safale us-05 and a s-04 on my last ipa that will get bottled on jan 2. Hydro tube tasted great

damn i just graduated from binghamton how did i not meet you when i was there

brewing again this morning on the new stove... wish me luck. hopefully it will go without cracks... split the salvaged wort into two 2 gal SS pots. Shattered IPA in the works as we speak

clearly there are a lot of people that use this type of stove with a lot of success but like anything its always better to take precautions. i brewed on this type of top for more than a year now and didn't have a problem until now.

so to sum up this thread. it sounds like flattop electric brewers should be concerned about a few things: 1) uneven surface of your brew pot. get a good grade pot so it doesn't warp 2) if you can, don't have the stove on full heat. someone suggested wrapping a towel around the pot to retain...

really not that exciting to post pics. probably couldn't even pick it up with a camera. the management switched it out today without saying anything about price but thats the way it works here, fix first, pay later. i've been looking to get a turkey fryer for about month now. looks like i'll...

how would i pick out an impact mark? there are a few places that the cracks radiate from. don't really know how to describe it but it does NOT look like a cracked windshield from an impact. if that helps. what bayou burner do you guys recommend?

The leasing company has been pretty good about fixing stuff for us in the past. Our sink has been on the fritz and they've replaced parts so far with no charge (at least we haven't seen it yet). We live in a big apartment complex so they probably get a lot worse than this.

I do remember dropping something on it a while back. Either way its gonna be turkey frier brewing for me now. I live in Florida so brewing outside should be easy. Now for preserving the preboiled wort... it should be fine for a few days right?

girlfriend took it well. not upset. now we'll see what the leasing company does. not going to tell them we were brewing. just cooking pasta. outdoor burner and stainless steel is definitely in my future... :)

hops were not added. I cooled it down and is in a brew bucket now with the lid and airlock. Cooled it to around 100 and poured into the bucket. Do aluminum pots warp easily. This was only $15 at Target. Should I invest in a stainless steal pot? on the plus side this is an excuse to upgrade...

my aluminum pot has been warped from previous brews and the heat was on high... shouldn't a stove top be able to handle that? glad to hear its cheap. hopefully my apartment community won't give me too much **** about it.

dunno... still stunned. an electric glass stovetop should be able to handle 3.5 gallons of boiling wort. this is my 5th batch on this stove with no cracks before and a smaller volume (usually its a 4 gal boil). waiting for the girlfriend to come home. hopefully the brewery survives after this...

... while steeping 1/2 lb of Crystal 20 for an AIPA. I heard the crack and thought it was my pot warping under heat (its cheap aluminum 5G steamer pot). Continued brewing and added my extract. While moving the pot on and off of heat I saw the crack in the glass. Sh!t. Its a big one too. Has...

I'm thinking about using both. Cane sugar for alcohol during the boil. Honey post boil for alcohol and flavor. Should that work?

i noticed that some bottled are harder than others. i bottled today and had issues with stella artois bottles. everything else was smooth as butter

for an alcohol boost do you recommend honey or sugar?

when would you add this? preboil? can you use cane sugar also to increase alcohol?

mmm.... Martinellis. Can you cap it with a red wing capper?

Do tell more please.
