I just thought up this recipe last time i was at the hb store. I was going to use safale wb06 but I thought maybe an abbey yeast would work out better. just let me know what you think.... 6.6 lbs muntons wheat LME 1 lb muntons dark DME 1lb belgian biscuit some belgian candi sugar.... how...

shipping price for 2 to 62812?

for those of you who care to know, this recipe IS dynamite. Very very good. It does have a wheat character but it is more of a clean wheat taste... no bananas or cloves. The added spices give it a pretty complex flavor, but it is pretty refreshing, just the way I wanted it to be. Some sort of...

thanks for the input everyone. That's why I chose the american ale yeast. I wasn't sure exactly what type yeast they use for american wheats, but they all seem to have more of a clean taste with a bit of citrus, instead of the weizen taste with cloves and banana. That lemon basil idea sounds...

I just recently decided to brew a summer beer that was very easy drinking, but also has a nice kick of flavor. It was pretty much an experiment because I've never brewed with any of these ingredients before except for the wheat LME. This is for a 5 gallon yielding batch. 6.6 lbs Briess wheat...

Hello all, I was thinking earlier it's interesting that we use chlorine and iodine to sanitize and they happen to be in the same group on the periodic table (this means they will have similar chemical characterisitics). So I thought, since bromine is also in this group, is there any kind of...

That's awesome thanks so much everyone! I will definitely be ordering more from them

I just ordered a stir bar and some silicon tubing form mcmaster carr today. I didn't realize it but they don't include tax or shipping on the price when you order it!! I think the total came out to 8.77. Can anyone tell me if their shipping charges are decent at all? I don't want to end up...

That's good. I hope I can order that small of a piece. I've got my manifold almost completely done. All I have to do is cut the slits and test it out so see how much water it leaves in the bottom. Can someone tell me how to upload pics onto this thing so I can post pics of the finished product?

That cheesecloth or hopsack on the siphon is an awesome idea! I can't believe I haven't thought of that yet. I have been thinking about how I could dry hop, or at least keep chunks of stuff out of the siphon. Thanks for that tip Revvy

Do you know if you can use braided vinyl? I know that won't crush, but chemicals may still be leached out at that temp. As for the pex fittings.... I don't plan on gluing them at all. It's going to be hard getting the manifold in and out of the cooler, so I don't plan on gluing. I think they...

I think that's a pretty interesting idea. A couple problems you would have to figure out though. When you stir, those marbles are going to fly up and get separated from each other... maybe even enough to render them useless as a false bottom. Another one would be that you would still ahve to...

BoB... I bet when it says keep the contact with soft metals, rubber, and plastic to a minimum, it means certain kinds of these materials (brass, copper, and SS aren't soft). I'm sure the materials that homebrewer's use are completely fine with Starsan. Why else would they use it? The MSDS...

Dukester, I listen to Basic Brewing Radio podcasts quite often and there is an episode with Randy Mosher in which he talks about brewing with fruits and other such things like pumpkins (he's basically the king in that area). He said that brewing with fruits such as blackberries and strawberries...

well awesome! thanks for the help. I will definitely put up some pictures... after I figure out how to do that. Oh and for any one who is thinking about it... a manifold in a 5 gal round cooler is a bad idea. I'm just slipping the pex on to cpvc fittings, and the damn fittings are so big, there...

Hello all, I just decided to build a mash tun so I can start brewing some grainage soon. I went with a 5 gal round rubbermaid. After buying this I realized it would be hard to get a manifold in there, seeing as there is so little space. I decided to use PEX pipe because it was way more...

Wow this thing is simply amazing. My hopes and dreams were to build something like a Brutus 10, but you just took a sledge and completely crushed them. JB, after checking out your setup, I was wondering if you could answer this for me. Do you have any idea which would be more efficient...

I cannot believe that room only costs about 13 dollars a month to run. In August!!! Very nice! Excellent job John Beere. I had a strange thought at the beginning of this thread.... but I don't know if it would work. I'm sure many of you know what a Dewar flask is. How about the idea that you...

Thanks. That's great news. I know that beer will taste different after it has had time to condition, but I didn't know if it's characteristics could really change that drastically. I'm pretty sure I caramelized the sugar because when I boiled the priming solution, it turned yellow. I mixed a...

So I just tasted my first AG that's been bottle conditioning for about 8-9 days so far. I let it sit in the primary for two weeks before bottling. On the pour, I didn't even get a head... I guess it hasn't conditioned long enough or it just won't because I think I caramelized the priming sugar...
