Thanks for the quick reply, that was my main concern in getting a larger tun.

Just to kinda piggy-back on this thread; can a mash tun be too big? If I get a 52 quart rectangular cooler and want to brew a 5 gallon lighter beer (1.048 - 1.055) for friends and family, would the tun be too big? Thanks.....

First off, I wouldlike to thank you for your service to our country, you guys rock!!! :rockin: Secondly, you may wish to reconsider the wine, as most wines are served at a higher temp than beer or soda. And though I know little about wine above the advice that I have offered, my wife is a...

Hi Everyone, I am member in a very young brewer's guild. Well, I guess we are still just a bunch of guys that love brewing beer and really enjoy brewing together. We are at an impasse, where we are trying to define our group and decide to what level we would like to see it go. That being the...

Why are you brewing in the very far reaches of your cabinet? It is much easier to brew on the patio or even in the garage. :mug: :D Let us know how it tastes. I will never have the discipline to let a beer live for 6 years. Cheers!!!!!

Do the 5 gallon buckets hold 50 lbs of grain? I have several of those already that could be oxy-cleaned and made to hold grain. Are they air tight? I purchased 50 lbs of 2-row and 50 lbs of Munich Malt as my two main brews are pale ales and irish red ales. I do 5-glallon batches, using these...

I recently purchased 100 lbs of grain, and I am having difficulty figuring out how to store that much grain so that it will stay fresh for a long period of time, and make the purchase of bulk grain worthwhile. So, how do those of you that purchase grain in bulk store your grain? Thanks in...

My children are 20,18, and 14; all boys. the youngest one helps out a lot with the bottling, sanitizing, and capping. They have seen their mother and I drink throughout their lives, so it appears to be no big deal to them. They do not do half the **** I did when I was their age. I give the...

I ferment in a 6.5 gallon bucket as well. I have had some 5 gallon batches that require a blow off hose. Just stick you racking hose in your stopper and place the other end in a (medium to large) bowl of sanitized water.

I have 4+ weeks to brew a nice red ale for a party for which my wife volunteered my services. While purchasing the ingredents at my LHBS the brewmaster there suggested that I cold crash the beer while in the secondary to help clear the beer. My questions are: At what temptature should I...

Thanks for the advice guys......

I am currently in secondary fermentation of my Sam Adams Clone lager. My question is when I bottle my lager in a couple of weeks, should I continue to keep the beer in my garage where the temps are lower or move the beer into the house where the temps are around 70 F?
