When I started I think it’s easiest to start extract 5 gallon batches.the easiest way is to just get a starter kit with at least a 4 gallon kettle, your fermenting bucket and all the little stuff you need and most come with an extract kit. At least til you get a few batches under your belt and...

Oh man what a great thread. Music has been a huge part of my life. I constantly have music playing no matter what I’m doing. I’m the same as OP. As much as I wish I could I was never able to play an instrument. Growing up I always tried imitating my older brother, listening to what he did...

I’ve looked all over and used the search but how do I.......(usually something simple or part of the brewing process) but they’re second guessing themselves and need an answer NOW! And it’s easier to start a thread than search or read through however many pages

I notice that on dead threads... I’ll read through 30 pages of something I’m interested in finding out about that they’re going to come back and report on........ And still waiting....... Or the totally new brewer that posts I brewed XY&Z in a mop bucket with whatever for a false bottom, pretty...

I can’t tell what looks better... the beer or the Mac and cheese. They both look delicious

kegging beer and washing yeast

A random fox squirrel watching us work yesterday

Not my pic but I had the same bike. 1989 I worked all year long to save and by 1989 GT performer. I had it about 2 weeks and pulled in to my buddies house to go ride the ramp we made when his dad came home drunk, missed the driveway by a foot or so and ran it over:oops:.... it was an awesome...

I keep playing with pumpkin ales just to try and get a really good one. Not my favorite beer but it’s something I brewed and it’s always drinkable. So I keep trying. Most of the time this time of year I start messing with stouts and Octoberfest beers. I know I’m late for Octoberfest beers but...

Yes you can. It’s referred to as the no chill method. Just make sure everything is sanitized good and you’ll be ok. If you don’t want to wait I used to top off with super cold water and then fill my sink with ice and put my kettle in the sink. It would get me to pitching temps in under an hour.

Yea all the foam at the top of your fermenter is totally fine and normal. It’s the krausen. If brewing in a bucket it would just be a ring around the bucket,but since you don’t have much headspace it’s making it’s way to your airlock

Just sent these to the wife. She agrees on both
