ymmv?

don't kno...wud you? Is colt 45 that cheep? (i havnt had one since 1977...)

I usually don't drink lager, and almost always drink my own, or go to my local growler-filling beer store, but I was in trader joes, and noticed simpler times lager...6.2%, 3.99 per 6 pack... i must say, when slumming, QUITE the good deal!!!!!!

i have a very dirty carboy...:ban:

I brewed a barleywine on 4/21... is it too soon to bottle? I'm aiming to have some ready by 7/16... unless it won't be ready, in which case i'll FORCE myself to be patient....thx!

ps, does your 60q kettle have a valve, or do you siphon to ur fermenter? if you have a valve, did you buy it, or install it? if bought, what brand? thanks so much!

60 q is about 15 gallons... so after i pull the grains out, sparge until i get up to 10 gallons? i'm sure i won't be able to fit 25lb of grain AND 10 gallons of water at once, right? (i'll check out that calculator too...)

I've made a half dozen 5 gallon batches...extract and partial mash...5 gallons just ain't enuf... i'd like to switch over to biab, and make 10 gallon batches... how large a brewpot do i need? 44q? 60q? i want plenty of room... thx!

i've been looking at 60 quart pots... anyone have experience putting a spigot in them?...i want to go biab, and draining from the bottom seems like the way to go... thx!

if everyone seems cool w/aluminum, what are the SS concerns?

Hi! I've grown rye as a cover crop for several years, and this year want to harvest some for my ag brew... does anyone know when rye should be harvested? it looks ready, but i'm not sure...I'm on long island, ny. thanks!

if you live in patchogue, i'll c u at daves bellport beer!! (altho i only go there now when i'm between batches!) i've never been to northport, but i like the guys at arbor... i'm just trying to sort out where to get ingredients cheepest...

Just make sure you allocate an appropriate number of beers to drink while you wait for the cone to form after whirl-pooling and you will have clear, tannin free wort that will pass thru the spigot/plate chiller without issue. that's the best advice i've gotten so far!;)

hey crookedtail, where do you get your supplies? brewstore in northport or islip?

does help! in prior partial mashes ive done, the instructions contraindicated squeezing the grain bag, but that's why i'm on this forum! w/regard to the grain clogging, i thought the finer particles would get thru the grain bag, but again, i'll take your word for it...BIAB, here i come...thanks!!

probably not that fast... maybe using 6 10lb batches over a couple of months... but i've just been reading about biab... i might start going that way...

2 points of clarification... with regard to the part where you press the grain w/a pot lid, I've read not to press/squeeze the grain, as it releases tannins... is this an issue, or not so much...#2, when you mill the grains finer, doesn't that clog the spigot when transferring? thanks!!

groovy-thanks!

I'm looking to buy some bulk malt extract, but i only brew ale... can i use Briess Pilsen Liquid Malt Extract (33 lb. pail) for ales? if not, could someone direct me to some bulk extract that i could use for ale? midwest only has the pilsen and Briess Golden Light in bulk...thanks!:mug:

thanks y'all... perhaps i'll save my dryhopping adventure for my next ipa...
