    There used to be a link to all unanswered posts/threads, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Is this gone or am I just missing seeing it?

    Added bottling sugars early

    The problem is you don't know how much of your bottling sugar has fermented out. You could end up with over or under carbed beer. I would go with Bigbeergeeks suggestion.

    Need to crush 16# of grain, but no grain mill!

    This is what I did. Great 30 dollar investment. Lots of threads on them.

    So sick of bottles, how cheap can i keg?

    I agree 100%. I like having a large variety of styles to choose from depending on what I feel like drinking. I also do the bottling while mashing, which is really just down time otherwise, so it really doesn't add any time for me.

    Thanks for the link. I usually just do dog treats or compost it. Will have to check some of these out.

    just scored some free carboys

    Thanks for the tip. I usually clean stuff right after use. Guess I will need to get a carboy brush though.

    Undecided

    Hey Dave. This is also Dave. If you take the plunge, most start out with extract kits. after that, I strondgly suggest you check out brew in a bag if you want to go all grain

    just scored some free carboys

    just got 3 7.5 gallon carboys. they have a threaded neck and plastic caps. just need some rubber stoppers and time to ramp up production. have only used bucket for fermenting, but guess these are big enough for primary or seconadaries. I can tell you, these things full to the top are HEAVY!

    Irish Moss whirlfloc question

    If you dump everything from the boil into the fermentor, are you defeating the purpose of the irish moss or whirlfloc, or does it help things settle out in the fermentor? Tried using a straining funnel a few times and it just clogged up, so now just dump everything into the feremntor. Am I...

    Is This burner sufficient?

    I misunderstood. Didn't know you already had one. I just measured my burner and it is about 14 inches in diameter. My pot is also 7.5 gallons but looks taller and slimmer than yours. Pot is about 12 inches in diameter, so no overhang and no wobble. If you think you can brew without pot tipping...

    Hello from Miami Beach, FL

    Greetings and welcome. This cracked me up. Intentional play on words or Freudian typo? "I will say that I enjoyed the experience immensely and can see myself becoming consumed with this hoppy."

    Is This burner sufficient?

    Adam, my burner from a turkey fryer looks exactly like the one in your link, but with shorter legs. I do 5 gallon batches and it is plenty powerful. If you're buying it just to get the burner, and don't plan on using the fish fryer part, the I would go with the more robust one Dan linked to.

    I Call Him Benis

    They can be very resouceful in getting what they want. I'll bet you love him to death though. What kind is he?

    Priming sugar lost in the boil?

    Ideally it should all be disolved, but I've had the same thing happen. It should still carb up just fine.

    Brewing Solo vs. Brewing with a partner(s)

    I've never brewed alone. Started brewing with a friend I've know since Jr. High school. Seems easier in a lot of ways. For example while mashing in, one pours grain while the other stirs. One fills bottles while the other caps. Plus during the down times like mashing and boiling, we have some...

    Are some grains better suited for BIAB

    My efficiency went up after getting a corona syle mill. Best 30 bucks I've spent. Fine crush plus sparging should help your efficiency. And yes, I squeeze the bag too.
