How long did you chill?

+1 on the ladder.

Well you could always brew up a mini batch (gallon or so) and add it in to your main batch if you have the space in your fermenter for it. Won't help the sugars the yeast can't use in the first batch, but it'll might bring the overall FG down. Otherwise I would say let it go. You might really...

I can't say its the best, but here is what I did: Started with brewing in a big, using a 5 gallon brew kettle with a bag. This lasted one brew as it was a PITA and I had to top up (which doesn't work so well with big IPAs). I then switched to two kettles. Same as the first method, then dunk...

Depends on what exactly is being lifted. ;)

I just store my stuff in my cooler, space issue solved! :mug: Also since my cooler is 100% unmodified in any way, I also have a cooler if I want one!

Yes.

The one thing that seems the most consistent on that site is that usually people can't tell the difference. *shower thought* Perhaps the biggest home brewing myth of all is that there is such a thing as an 'Experienced Tasting Panel'.

Don't forget to let us know how this all turned out!

Don't suppose you guys know anywhere closer to Tomah/New Lisbon/Mauston?

So I was gifted a turkey fryer recently. Doesn't appear to be of very high quality but I can't argue with free. The burner works and the pot is 30 quart. It has a spigot on it but I can't get it to open. It seems to be stuck on the closed position so I was thinking it might still function as a...

What other forum might this be, OP? I must make sure I don't accidentally stumble into their nonsense.

Had planned on it, spent the whole weekend setting up a bunch of new equipment I bought. Can't now because the spigot on my new brew kettle is garbage and won't open or close. I bought it months ago so I don't even know if I can exchange the thing.

I didn't know kids grew in pots

I've come to the conclusion that brewing is 10% nature and 90% superstition. Do this, don't do that, buy this here gidget, it all makes good beer in the end. I'm glad I was too broke to afford some of this stuff before I came to this conclusion otherwise I might have gone completely broke on...

I would imagine nothing much. That far in the bulk of fermentation is done. Heat it back up, maybe give it a shake or something to rouse the yeast if it makes you feel better.

Its brewing....in a bag.... 6+ batches this way and no plastic flavor detected so far. :mug:

I've used a regular cooler I bought from walmart for quite a few batches, no problems whatsoever with the valve. I've also used similar coolers for storing hot things such as tea or coffee or hot chocolate for years without issue.

Pity. I had one that looked just like it (also stout ish). Got a little disheartened when I saw it so I put the lid back on and let it sit another month or two. Finally decided I wanted an open bucket and I still had my bottling stuff within reach so I figured I would just go ahead and bottle...

Got a brand new kegerator now I just have to figure out where to put it. (And get a keg to go with it)
