Amen to that. Beersmith is worth its weight in gold. :ban:

I use Starsan and love it. I don't wear gloves (it sanitizes your hands as well) and my plastic primary fermenter has yet to be eaten through : ). Plus, all of the foam and bubbles it leaves behind will not hurt your beer at all.

You could just keg the beer, let it cool overnight, and then hook up the gas for 24 hours.

Currently my kegerator has a tower with only one tap. I want to upgrade to a two tap version without modifying the current tower. I found this on eBay and was wondering if anyone had any experience in ordering from this person or if it looks like a quality tower. Any help would be greatly...

I'll be upgrading soon. Hot Springs is a great town. There's nothing like Lake Hamilton in the summer time. They have quite a few good golf courses as well.

That is SWMBO in the background...baking cookies.

The cost was just over $40. I got everything at Lowe's.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up making an IC. It is probably the ugliest one ever produced, but it got the wort down to pitching temps in less than 20 minutes. Thanks for the help!

I did my first AG today and everything went great. I brewed BM's Centennial Blonde. The only problem was i ended up with probably a little over 6 gallons of wort instead of 5. I used beersmith for the water calculations. One reason could be that my propane tank started to run low and the boil...

It is a five gallon batch.

I am doing my first AG today and I forgot to get one thing...a wort chiller. My pot is 15 gallons, so an ice bath won't work. My LHBS is closed today. Should I make my own chiller? Is there another way I can chill the wort without using a chiller? Thanks for the help. :ban:

Do you have a parts list? Where did you get the cooler?

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

I am going to do my first AG this weekend and have some questions. I plugged the recipe into beersmith hoping to get the mash in and sparge water amounts, but it only gave me the mash in amount. Is there a way to set it to where it will give you both? I plan on batch sparging and set the mash...

I'm looking to pop my all grain cherry as well. What would be the mash and sparge water amounts and temps for the centennial blond?

Ahh, now I see. Thanks for the help.

A little off topic, but how in the heck do you get the starsan from the bottle up to the ounce measure? I tried like crazy the other day and ended up having to spoon it in.

What about if you have the co2 tank on the outside and put the 3 gallon in the middle of the two 5 gallon kegs?

Is it possible to fit 2 5 gallon kegs and a 3 gallon keg in the sanyo? I am just curious as to if the 3 gallon keg could sit on the back ledge.
