Gracias Por Dios, House of Cards is back on.....

Great idea... So about how much sanitized, room temp water do you end up using? Going to have to start doing this.

I have room in my kettle for 10 gallons, I did one batch, just to see if my equipment could handle it. Gave 5 gallons to a buddy brewer who paid for half the ingredients. It's really no more effort. I would have to buy some more kegs. Oh well.

Reading thru the comments here, I am surprised by how many people brew 10 gallon batches. I always assumed since most people use the 5 gallon soda kegs that was the norm....

I agree. I have a concord kettle, pretty flimsy bottom. I now use a Wilser bag, Bayou Classic Tri-ply kettle and the 3500 Advanco burner, no scorching problems. I am really happy with the Bayou kettle. This is the one I use. http://amzn.to/2qgjnep

I don't think that is your problem. I've never had the problem and I keg from the bottom of the fast ferment. My process, I empty the ball two days before I plan on kegging, reattach and give anything clinging to the walls a chance to fall into the ball, letting gravity do it's part. A lot of...

Roger Moore was bond for me too. His early Bond performances were great, Live and Let Die, will always be my favorite Bond movie. It wasn't until Moore got older that the silly gadgets started showing up. Moonraker and Octo***** have got to be the two worst Bond films. The crocodile sub, the...

Speeding the brew day, I guess I kind of get it. I BIAB but enjoy the process as much as the end results. I guess if you had young kids and needed the family time then speed brewing could be a thing. As others stated above, I don't think BIAB is any faster then 3v. The timed steps are the same.

I BIAB, I have no plans to go 3V because I've built my system around BIAB, it's what I could afford to do when I moved to all grain. I will say this much, if I had not gone all grain, my stuff would have ended up on Craigslist, because in my opinion, the extract beer I was producing sucked.

I just want to say, taste any cucumber before you add it. Some cuc's can be pretty nasty and bitter and not in good IBU way.

Sweetwater, is making a Cucumber beer, I tried one, thought it was ok at best. I would not buy one myself, but this was given to me by someone who thought it was nasty. Anyway, it got me to thinking how it would be done, not that I would do it. I was thinking that you would just make cucumber...

Thank God that is the only qualification to being a beer judge.

Geez, you guys are way too complicated for me. I put the keg in the keezer, set at 10, wait a few days and drink.

I was wondering if that was the case too, but I did another pour last night with the same results.

So my 6 month wait is over. I kegged conditioned this, but a small amount of bottling sugar in the keg when I put it in the keg 6 months ago. I've been burping the keg every two weeks or so for the past 6 months. Put it in the keezer yesterday and poured myself a pint last night. All foam...

This was my experience too. 3 batches extract, did not like the beer I was brewing, found HBT and BIAB. Went the BIAB route. A year later, I have streamlined and pimped out my BIAB system and see no reason whatsoever to go 3 vessel.

This is the only part of your statement, I don't understand. Why do you feel you would need to rework recipes? As far as I know, the recipes would be the same. Crush might need to change.

So can you get any of these in the DC area? My brother in law is coming down in a couple of weeks for a fishing trip, maybe I can get him to bring me something so I can add something to this thread.

i'd assume he is doing that so he can save some for next time.
