Oh Snap! Take video of your first brew! It will be like a soft porno!

At higher temps Yeast ferments faster, so you may already be done fermenting. I would take another reading in a few days and see if it changes. I just recently brewed an American IPA @ around 75 degrees, couldn't get the temp down in my house. I covered my fermenter (glass carboy) in wet towels...

Advise: sanitize, don't drink too much, and have fun!!!

Thank you for the input guys! I ordered the 2000ml. I figured more surface area and I don't always have to use the whole thing. Now since I'm using a yeast starter do you recommend a blow off tube?

I am building a stir plate and was going to order a flask, but now I'm stuck on which size to buy. I do AG - 5 gallon batches. 1. Which size should I use? 2000ml or 1000ml 2. How much DME should I boil with how much water before I pitch 1 package of liquid yeast for my starter? 3. How...

Home Depot $1.50

Perfectly normal Krausen. The crappy part is trying to clean that after you bottle. That's when you will dislike it the most!

I did hop stooped clone for Fathers day this year. Aroma central. I dry hopped for around 5 days, almost 1/2# of hops. I also used around 3oz. at flame out. My beer has tons of aroma and IBU @ 85 approx. Try more dry hops. But adjust for it, maybe ferment 5.5gallons. I lost around 1/2 gallon by...

SOLD! Home Depot here I come! Thank you

I did a dry hop on a Hop Stoopid Clone on my last brew. I lost almost 1/2 gallon on my dry hops. But I put in 1/2# of hops. FYI

In it to win it!!!

75 is a bit high, but I have pitched there before. I would take a gravity reading and compare to your OG. In a few days, check the gravity again. See if there is fermentation still going on. Just because its not bubbling out the airlock doesn't mean that fermentation has stopped. Your recipe...

Try slowing down both feed rates. Throttle down both wort and cool water flow. That may make a difference. Just a thought!

When you do your step mash, how long do you hold at each temp??

Thanks! Eagle Rock Brew Supplies is my store! I love this area, however, I'm looking to get out and move up north. Too many people now days!

Hey, thank you much for your suggestion. I will go to Walmart and see if they have some, which they should have something like that if not! Thank you again!

I have a home built SS pot that I welded up. There are small "rust" spots, I can wipe them with a damp rag and they go away. Its just where I welded the handles on so there's not to much of it, but do you think that this could be a huge issue. Has anyone else here had a little rust in their...

Smoked Pastrami a few weeks back! Corned beef for 5-7 days, then soaked in water to pull some of the salt back out of it for 24 hours. Smoked it for 4 hours open then wrapped in foil for another hour or so. Then I let cool down and rest over night in fridge. Then sliced and steamed for my...

How would I consolidate my thread? Thank you for the info on the comp / brew clubs. We have a local brew club called the Maltose Falcons. But they are not in my direct area. Still trying to find some club in my immediate area, who knows, maybe i'll start my own club!

Is there a site or somewhere I should look for all the local HB Comps? I entered in the LACF today, but was wondering if there any more around the corner! Thank you!
