For me it is Steel Reserve. I have never had a beer taste so bad to me! Most of those beers in your poll I actually like- especially on a hot summer day golfing! :)

My last brew session as well as bottling session I also left one side of my kitchen sink filled up with Oxyclean solution the whole time. It was very convenient anytime I wasn't sure about something, wash it in the sink quick and dip it in the bucket of Starsan. Easy!

This is a cool idea and saving $30 means a FREE batch of beer!!! :rockin:

I've been using an extra 5 gallon bucket and filling it up halfway with 1/2 oz of StarSan. I also keep a spritzer on hand filled with it too- that's very handy. I usually pour or siphon the contents of the big bucket into the larger pieces (fermenter, carboy, etc... splash around for a minute or...

I have been addicted to Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro lately

Oh Darn! I just wrote a check for my last $5,000 to the Nigerians who emailed me yesterday!

+1 to that! I am intrigued with the idea of batch sparging in a cooler using BIAB, it seems to me that there would be less worries with equipment, stuck sparges, etc.... I have not done it yet, but that is just the feeling I am getting reading through the forums.

Man that thing is cool! My only problem in WI is that it would be illegal (AFAIK) for me to brew more than one batch! :)

Thanks Revvy! I suppose I could just have the LHBS open up a kit for me so I can see the specific ingredients then buy them separately

So I am just throwing something out here I am not at a level yet to understand recipe building and how to calculate for styles but: Maybe someone can help me with adjustments using the following ingredients 1 can of Light LME 3 pounds of DME 1 pound of Crystal malt Steeped 1 ounce of hops...

Yeah I may as well just go ahead and invest in a blowoff tube they have to be pretty cheap right?

Laughing and learning at the same time! :D

I have a 5 gallon carboy that was used as a secondary and would like to brew up a 4 gallon batch tonight or tomorrow night and ferment in this container. Does this leave enough room at the top where an airlock will suffice? Or should I consider a blow off tube? My main question is how to...

+1 on the Patience post! A couple items that did not come with my first kit that I really think are useful are an auto siphon and a bottling bucket.

Nice kitchen and looks like your brew space is gonna be great!

What was the OG?

I have read here om the forums that the actual temps of fermentation is several degrees higher than the ambient air temp. Does anyone know if this is also true in the bottles?

My house is usually 62-66 degrees in the winter. Will it just take longer for my bottles at this temp?

So I have been looking at upgrading my home brewery and feel that controlling my fermentation temps will help me make better beer. I see a lot of people making chambers using various methods and also old fridges/freezers. I guess I have a couple different questions. 1) Does anyone make...

I've been looking at getting a custom made bag made to do semi BIAB. This site looks like reasonable pricing to me: biab-brewing.com
