    the step to all grain brewing

    Alright so i've been thinking about switching over to all grain brewing not only for the savings in cost i'll get, but also so i can have more control over my brews. I am trying to decide what equipment I'll need. So far this is my list: A 10 gallon or at least 7+ gallon pot Turkey fryer A...

    possible recipe?

    I assume that a little hot plate or even an indoor stove won't be enoguh for doing these large pots if I were to buy one? Would prefer to stay with electric appliances. I would prefer to try to break into the all grain brewing as it seems a bit more interesting to me, gives me more control...

    possible recipe?

    Alright in efforts to stop hijacking the other thread going to start my own. I am trying to bring down the cost of my brewing to sub 20 per batch. Currently here is one of my ideas for a recipe, 3lbs DME, 1 pound corn sugar, 1.5 oz hops(cascade perhaps), then maybe some sort of fruit to add a...

    How much do you pay for your HB?

    HarvnSTL- Other than my 16 quart pot being too small, wouldn't the problem also be that my hot plate won't really get the liquid going well enough? I can get it to boil pretty well, but not sure of the exact temperature. From what I read for a grain beer(just one source), said that you...

    Wort Chillers

    Just an off question, when chilling you can just chill the wort first then add it to the rest of the primary cold water right? I only ask because right now the way I do it is have a huge garbage can with water in my fridge then put my entire primary fermenter in it and let it slowly cool the...

    drippy bottling bucket

    Aye, well I already have a 6.5 gallon primary plastic, and then a 5 gallon glass carboy. Just really would like this one not to be broken and wasn't sure if there was some fix others have used when they found themselves in this situation. Daum

    How much do you pay for your HB?

    Well I mean that is fine I don't need it to be that cheap but sub-20 dollars would be nice. What would the cheapest way be to go if I just want to make random brews? Right now it is seeming like the cheapest for me would be 3lbs dry malt extract($13), some hops($2ish), sugar($ depends on type...

    drippy bottling bucket

    So the otherday at my homebrew store I was talking to one of the guys about the necessity of a bottling bucket and he said that it just is well worth it, but that if I already have at a primary I could just cut a hole in it and stick a spigot in it. So this is exactly what I did. I attempted...

    How much do you pay for your HB?

    Hrm well right now it seems that for an all grain brew I will have to wait at least until I taste my first batch of beer. Also my equiptment is right now my limiting factor as it consists of a 16 quart wort pot and a hot plate for my wort. Any suggestions on how to brew the cheaper yet good...

    How much do you pay for your HB?

    Hrm, wow, you guys are getting way cheaper stuff than I am, I like johny, am paying around 25-30 per batch. That is also because I am using kits. I assume when you guys are speaking of malt, you are not saying malt extract, since my local store a single can or dried of malt is 13+ dollars...

    second batch ever, ideas for the beer?

    Was thinking of maybe an ABV around 7-10%? I am fine with if I have to wait for a while I guess. Just looking for a fun, but stronger, beer that isn't expensive to brew. Daum

    second batch ever, ideas for the beer?

    Going to most likely make my second batch of beer today. Any suggestions for what I should make? Would prefer it to be tasty and something with a high ABV, also the cheaper the ingredients the better. I did come across a 1.5 pound container of wild honey(one part of that name that I'm missing...

    eep oxygen into secondary?

    I used coopers draught starter kit(I believe that was the one) then added 3 more pounds of dried malt, 1 oz of cascade hops. I am sorry not sure on the exact type of the kit was too excited to get this going. The guy at the store said at the end my beer should taste something like a redhook...

    eep oxygen into secondary?

    This weekend about 5 days after i started the fermentation in my primary i used an auto siphon to transfer it over to my carboy. at the end of the process when I was tipping the bucket over and getting the bottom of it out, a some air got into the siphon and was transfered over to the...

    Help on my first brew

    hi paul, Not too sure on the ingredients and their way that it changes it, but I did read in a couple times that regular sugar is ok in most cases. As for the fermentation, I am still on my first batch and my fermentation didn't take place until later the next day, but if all fails and in a...

    time to secondary?

    alright, most likely i'll have a primary open for when I need to do bottling, if not i'll buy a bottling bucket. Does the secondary have to be in a dark spot? I only ask because right now my primary is under my bed which is pretty dark but in no means pitch black. Any other suggestions before...

    time to secondary?

    Alright, so the bubbles have slowed down/stopped after about 4 days in my primary fermenter. I happened to just come across a full deluxe brewing kit, so now I have a carboy(5 gallons). Should I transfer the beer to the carboy using the auto siphon that came with the kit I found today? Also...
