I just got 2 pyrex 12 gallon glass carboys. Is this going to be big enough to primary a ten gallon batch? Is any one using an iwaki magnetic pump? I just picked one up cheap and need to find info on temp ratings. Can I pump 170 deg wort through it? Thanks prost!!!!

1. Beer is good (oh wait I knew that) 2. If you don't solder your manifold in your mash tun, it can come apart when moving it. a. 152 degree mash is very hot to put hand in 3. Warm up mash tun, so your temp doesn't fall so much 4. only 1 beer per step until comfortable...

I am a smoker. I like hot and spicy foods. I have developed a kinda sick deviant love for IPA's, but I prefer the aroma, flavor to the out right bitterness. So as "seemingly the only smoker" (must be time to quit to enjoy more beer). I think smoking actually trains you bud to require more...

transfered to secondary today. Had a little taste a little dry but overall pretty good. It is a very mild IPA cascades and willamette hops. Gravity started at 1.071 with 12 #s of 2 row and 1# of crystal 20. If I am figuring right my ABV should be around 7.5-8. Is that correct? It is a 5...

My beer finished at 1.010 I would like it around 1.015 at least maybe 1.017, Can I steep some sweet grains (what kind would you advise) and add to the secondary and let sit for a few more days? Thanks

I did use a imersion chiller. But here are my mainn questions The final gravity seems a little low, I was expecting 15 or so, can I add something to bring it up. Also I was expecting a low efficiency but seemed to get 82% This made it a little stiff for what I was looking for. I mashed a...

IT went like this....... 12 pale, 1 # cr 20. and hops........ Mashed in cooler ( little thin) at 153. After 70 min it was 147 (damn wind) boil hop, boil hop, boil hop etc etc.....60 min later cooled to 90 in about 15 min put in fermenter 1.071 gravity pitched about 8 hours...

Mashing as we speak need to know about too thin a mash. Had to add water to bring temp up now I am at 1.5 to 1.7 qts per lb. Is this going to be a big issue? Thanks

I found 3 on craigslist for 50 each, and what is the smallest batch I can ferment in one. Is that too much air space for a 6 gallon batch? Thanks........ first AG in the next few days...

I was talking to a fellow about HB and how I'd like a bigger set up. He told me about an unused Dairy set up only minutes from my house. I has 2 300 gallon storage tanks and one has a jacketed cooler. There is also another tank that he said was a little smaller??. My questions ignoring legal...

Hey all, Used Coopers extract 3.7 # IPA and added 2 # DME light. I also used 1 # honey to dry it out and up the Alc. I added 1 oz cascade pellets for the cool down,8 min. I used a safale s04 yeast 59-75 degrees and fermented at 70 degrees. It went like crazy for about 3 days. Did it...

so How big is gimp, I am in dial up land here....... I have to plan. thanks

So I built my new manifold, but it sat about an inch off the bottom of the cooler. I put a 45' copper angle on 'er and not it lays perfectly on the bottom...... Then I got to thinking.... are they supposed to lay on the bottom or off the bottom. I hven't soldered anything yet so let me...

Have yet to have a bad new belgium beer, until now. I bought a sixer of the Saison specialty that came out about 4 or 6 months ago. what is in this beer to make it taste bad. Beer has a life of very few days in my fridge, but this lasted a month or so. What is in a Saison style that makes it...
