Don't have one yet. It's next on my list, but the rest of the gear (just bought burner, kettles, and cooler parts in the past week) tapped me out. On a plus note, there's currently a foot of snow on the ground I can set the kettle in to cool, haha.

As another about to do their first AG batch, thank you! Very good write-up.

Yeah, some other recipes had a lower grain bill, but I wanted something with a little more punch, haha. And almost there. Got all parts for cooler, just gotta build it up. We're getting about a foot of snow today, so probably brew next weekend. New brew kettle and propane burner, can't wait to...

Been brewing extracts for a year, stepping up to all grain. Came up with a recipe based off some I've seen. Just want to see what y'all think of it. 12lbs UK 2 row pale 1lb caramel/crystal 64L (lhbs doesn't carry 60) 4oz roasted barley Single infusion mash, 60 mins at 154. Batch sparge. 60 min...

Sounds tasty. Have you brewed it yet? I'm looking for an Irish red IPA.

I've got most of my gear for an all-grain batch, just have to convert my cooler over, and wait until it warms up a touch (was -6 F when I woke up the other day). Anyway, been debating on what to brew first. I was thinking about Ithaca's Cascazilla (it's a hoppy red ale, brewed kinda locally)...

Just bought a house, finally get my own brewing area! Anyway, I also got an upright freezer from my parents. I had everything for kegging except, so I'm rather excited. We're going to replace the dial-type thermostat in the house with a digital programmable one. However, since it's for both heat...

I'm dredging up an old thread here. But, has anyone ever tried this recipe? Thinking of trying it as my first all-grain.

I had always prided myself on not throwing up even when drinking heavily. Then, at this one party at a friend's house, I had brought a 12 pack (sometime during college, soph year maybe). Well, for whatever reason, I was drinking quick. Really quick. And killed most of that 12 pack in the first...

So, I'm still rather new to homebrewing. Moving pretty quick though. Started my first Mr. Beer batch in Feb I think, and now I have two 5 gal setups, and a 6 gal carboy that currently has a batch of Riesling in it, haha. Anyway, I had two Mr. Beer kits that I got from my fiancee (long story...

K. And yeah, I racked it right after taking the reading. Just curiosity I guess. Wondering if I should check/rack it sooner next time.

So, I made a batch of riesling on the 8th, 9 days ago. Fermentation started pretty quick, and went for a while. Been busy the past couple days, so I cracked it open today to check gravity and rack to my secondary. The instructions say not to rack unless under 1.010. However, I got a reading of...

My friends and I always pay each other in pizza and beer for help moving and such. Getting paid in homebrew would make it way better!

Nope, Ray's in Ohio. First went there like a week after it opened. Love going there, but so stoked that they have a place here in the 'Cuse now. Haven't been yet, but heard it's amazing, even better than Ray's. To the guy looking, You can get something decent for $500 or less. Go for brands...

Nice, my buddy has had 2 Yetis, love those bikes! This is one I miss (Azonic DS-1)... Right now I'm down to a Devinci roadie and an Access (no name brand, but nice solid frame) I built up myself. Working on another play bike, hehe.

Haven't read that link yet, but what about a piece of plywood across the glass to distribute the weight of the keg?

I'm in a similar predicament. I have everything for a kegerator, but my mini-fridge it was in died. We're buying a house right now, so there's no way I'm allowed to buy an extra fridge, haha. I had been thinking about CO2 and filling a growler, but good point about the extra CO2 needed at room...

I like it! :rockin:

Awesome, thanks! Also, hoping to get to a Salt City brew club meeting one of these days.

Awesome, keep up the good work! I lived in Buffalo for about 5 years before recently moving back to Syracuse. Love it out there. I lived within a mile of Flying Bison brewery, KegWorks supplies, and the home brew shop on Sheridan, it was great!
