Hey guys. Thanks for all the replies. I posted then I crashed on the couch. Yes it is aluminum and I can't believe I forgot to post that part.

Ok so here's the deal. I'm going to make the move to all grain this weekend but I need a bigger pot than my 6 gallon that we used for extract. I have a 10 gallon crawfish pot that's a little dirty smelling since I rarely use it and just for boiling seafood. I'd like to be able to use it...

I just built a 10 gallon Mashing/Lautering tun using the instructions from the "How To Brew" book. www.howtobrew.com I'll be diving in to all grain this weekend!

Hi all. I'm fairly new to this and we're working on our third kit this afternoon. Well we've noticed that the hops name differ from those on the directions from Austin Home Brew. The hops requirement on the recipe states 1/2 oz. Kent Golding and 1 oz. Target. What we have is 1 oz. Kent...

That's pretty interesting. I hadn't heard of "finishing gravity" yet. We're still pretty green to the process and I haven't had time to read entirely through the "How To Brew" book or pick up any other literature on the subject. We were basically using Blue Moon beer as a comparison to...

We enjoyed our first brew last night. We did the AHS Belgian White for our first ever attempt. I have to admit I was scared it wouldn't turn out given how much of a process went into brewing, fermenting and then force carbonating the beer but it all pulled out ok. It looked exactly like the...

yeah it's right on the label. :cross:

ok cool. I'm running kind of crazy trying to do this process for the first time. I may have just missed it.

I have a capsule of yeast fuel that came with my kit. When do you add that?

From what I've read so far it seems a standard rule is 2 weeks for fermentation. I was just wondering is that a pretty solid rule? Is it sometimes shorter/longer? I'll be attempting my first brew over the weekend. A belgian wit. I'm just curious if I should just put it in the back...

Done deal now fellas. Got the kit I linked above + 26qt pot + Belgian Wit. All total being about $516 with shipping included. Split three ways its only running us $170 each. Cool thing is I have a bar fridge I never use that should hold the 1 keg we're starting out with. Is...

Great information guys. Thanks!

Thanks! Well there are 3 of us pitching in so it won't be so bad. We went to a beer festival here in Baton Rouge and that got them into it. I'd already been semi-researching the hobby but with two people in on it I'm prompted to go ahead and buy now! While we're at it could someone...

Some friends and myself are going to start brewing. Alot of people here talk about Austin Home Brew so I figured I might give one of their starter brewers kits a try. What do you guys think of their super delux beer making kit + keggin? It looks like a pretty complete kit in comparison to...

Thanks for the welcome and the suggestion! It's exactly what I'm looking for right now.(good place to start) :mug: I haven't really set my sites on a particular style as of yet. I've read a little about the process and I stopped by a home brew store to kind of look around.

I'm completely new to home brewing. Going to start doing research on what I need to get my hands on to start brewing. Looks like it could turn into a full time obsession!
