I bought a wood mash paddle and just had a bright idea. I was thinking of measuring out gallons in my brew kettle and engraving the levels on my paddle. My thought being I can more effectively measure how much liquid I have after each of the various boiling and soaking related step. Does...

I am in the market for a new Propane Burner. It seems to be quite the hassle to hunt some of this stuff down so I will probably end up on Amazon. I currently have what appears to be a "Bayou Classic SP50 Tall High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker", the burner is pretty rusty and leaves nasty soot...

I do all the time and can't tell much difference between it and bottled. However the LHBS said to go buy water because of the chlorine.

I have been using $1 gallons of Safeway drinking water. Is there really any reason I can't use tap water and boil it? Or is there an additive I can use to improve my tap water? The issues is partially cost but also hassle, 10 plastic water jugs is annoying.

2.5 going into the fermenter. Jakenbacon - are those reliable numbers to follow, or do I need to be determine this for myself?

I started with 6 gallons of water, in the end I had about 2.5 gallons of beer in the primary fermentor, with a lower than target OG (target was 1.068, actually 1.6). I guess I have no idea what I did wrong, I can only assume I made a mistake while trying to make my mash. Any one have a...

Excellent thanks, I guess my follow up would be: how long do I leave those hops in for if the boil is already done?

Sorry for the basic question, but when I see xx hop at 60 min yy hop added at 0 min does 0 min refer to dry hopping? I hope I am explaining this well.

I was thinking I would try this recipe this weekend. Has anyone else had any experience or advice to add?

That makes sense it was my dads old burner and the air mixture piece was definitely no longer functional which gave me one big yellow flame.

Dish soap before I use the pot? It won't just burn off?

I have a 15.5 gallon stainless steel pot. I was trying to boil about 6 gallons of water on my bayou classic outdoor propane burner (it's old no way of knowing the BTU). By the end of my brew session the bottom of my pot was completely black with soot, making clean up difficult. Does anyone...

Any recommendations or advice on what type of tubing to use on the ends of my chiller? I like the flexibility of have tubes rather than just the fixed copper ends.

I have everything I need to brew my first 10 gallon extract brew. All I need now is a thermometer and a stirring spoon. I see lots of options across many posts but that seems to just make decisions harder. Can anyone point me to some basic option that will ensure my first attempt goes...

Is there any reason not to do a stainless steel immersion chiller if its the same price? $58 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004D4QPQW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Although I am beginning to wonder if I will need 50' if I plan on doing 10 gallon batches...

I am all for DIY, however I was at Home Depot to build my mash tun on Saturday and the only 3/8" copper coil I could find was $59 for 25'. am just looking in the wrong aisles? Can someone point me toward a link for one of the national hardware stores that sells this considerably cheaper copper...

I am going to start brewing next weekend, after I read every article and how to I can find on this site.

Can anyone give me some advice on purchasing a used counter flow chiller? Found it on the Craigslist, 25' for $50. Is there anything I should look for, or test before I buy? Is it worth just buying a new immersion chiller? I found a stainless one for 80 on amazon.
