Agreed with everything above. I am a big fan of the starter, I make one every batch. For me adding a starter than recently adding O2 into fermenter right before pitching were the cheapest and most beneficial investments I made in my process.

All great advice above. I will also say most online brew shops sell all grain kits. At least this way you take the mystery of making your own recipe out of the mix. Go to one of those stores (Northern Brewer, Midwest Supplies, Williams Brewing, Austin Home Brew) just to name a few. Pick a five...

Happy Birthday

I brewed an Oatmeal Stout. Six brews in seven weeks. I have a DIPA on deck for this coming weekend. My pipeline was dry for a long time......not anymore!

I doesnt look like there is a difference on that one. As long as you determine the input and output I dont think it matters. Once you choose I would leave it for each brew I wouldnt switch keep the water and wort consistent and you are good.

Corny or actual kegs of beer? I just got two kegs from keg connection a couple of weeks ago. I am in NJ

Yeah, I stopped counting I will never get my money back from this hobby but that's OK I didn't get into it for cost savings. I know some folks do and that is cool but it's not my driving factor. I have kegged for years and I will continue to do it. I like having it on tap and it is easier for...

Until you need a third.......I had two and need to skip a week so I just bought a third, not the Grainfather ones. My BL has two of them and loves them.

I got the SS Brewtech Grain Mill and Brew Cube! My home brewery is almost complete.......until the next thing I cannot live without

With an FG of 1.012 it shouldn't be to sweet. I am not sure what your target was but 1.012 is a decent number. I would lean towards to much sugar during bottling. Especially if it is highly carbonated.

My SS Brewtech Mill should arrive today!

I own two of these and love them. I get they are not for everyone but they do serve a purpose. I have a Bock going into one this weekend where it will sit hooked to my glycol unit for 5-6 weeks to lager. It is a great tool. It is a ninch thing and a nice to have. They are well made. You can make...

I used O2 for the first time. I have the SS Brewtech in line O2 setup. I ran it the entire time I was transferring my wort to the fermenter. Fermentation was great but now I am seeing that this may be to long. Is there any downside to running it this long besides the waste of O2? Fermentation is...

Can seamer and cans

The only other thing I could think of that has not been mentioned above is serving temp. Are you serving it to cold?

Dry hops after 4 days is all you need. I have found you can leave them there for a couple of weeks and they don't impart different flavors much. I think you will be fine.

I live on a farm so my handles are based on my brewery name.

I have the BrewCommander and the RIMS rocket. I love it. Easy to use and to dial in. With any 120V it takes some time to heat up the water but that is my only complaint and it really isnt a complaint. Just be aware.

If I never bought another thing (which is never gonna happen) I would need to brew until I die and still not be anywhere close to even. I do it because I love it!
