I'm interested in the chiller. PM on the way.

I'm interested in doing this as well. Has the sodium metabisulfite added to the kegs affected the beer in any negative ways? Thanks.

I'd be interested as well

I've read how a lot of you guys cut this down to a 60 minute boil instead of the 90 minute boil listed in Dude's recipe. Doing either a 90 minute or 60 minute boil makes no difference to me. Is there any advantage of doing the 90 minute boil? Thanks!

Brewed this up on Sunday. I ended up a little higher on efficiency than expected (83%). I pitched a healthy starter of Bell's yeast that I harvested from Oberon dregs. Looking forward to tasting this one. The boil smelled amazing.

Another vote for White Labs Super High Gravity Yeast. It works wonders with Barleywines.

Yes, I have a stir plate. This will be my first time harvesting yeast so I want to make sure I do it right. I'll probably have the dregs of four bottles tonight. How big of a starter should I start with? I'm assuming I'll still shoot for 1.040? Thanks!

Hey guys, So I'd like to brew this coming Sunday using harvested Oberon yeast. My question is, will I have enough time to step up a starter enough to use six days from now? I have a six pack of Oberon so I could harvest the yeast from all of them and get the starter going tonight. The brew...

I use a USB Thermaltake fan in my keezer. It runs 24/7 and does a great job keeping consistent temperatures.

Hello All! I've been considering sending a water sample to Ward Labs for analysis to compare to my water company's water analysis. However, according to my water company's analysis, calcium, magnesium, chloride, total alkalinity and TDS "will change seasonally". So would I have to send in a...

I too am from Pittsburgh and am jealous. I've never had the Super Juicy Hop Juju. Just the regular Juju. Delicious.

Awesome! Thanks!

Will the dregs of a six pack be enough to get a good starter going? Thanks!

Recently I started using a cheap hoist to hold my bag in the air while I squeeze. Since then I've seen my efficiency jump 10% because I'm not fumbling around when I'm squeezing the bag. And I'd definitely buy some long cuff heat-resistant gloves to wear while you're squeezing.

2918.5 + 5.5 gallons of a Kolsch = 2924 gallons

Thanks Martin. I appreciate it.

Since my RO filter is filtering down to 4ppm TDS, would you still suggest I used your RO water profile on your spreadsheet even though that will start me off with higher than 4ppm TDS? Do you have another suggested start point since I'm starting with such a low TDS? Thanks again.

2642.5 + 6 gallons of Bereavement IPA 6 gallons Pantyhose Crisis IPA = 2654.5 gallons

I read that RO water pH is usually in the 5-6 range. That's why I questioned it. I filtered water for another batch last night. TDS was 4ppm and the pH was 6.7.

I just used my new RO filter for the first time. My raw water measured 122 TDS and the filtered water read 5 TDS. I'm surprised it got down that low. My tap water pH is typically 8.2-8.5. My RO water is reading 7 pH. I expected lower. Should I be concerned?
