Is the HopSlam worth the $20 the my local store was trying to get for it? They have a bunch.

I use the stainless filter for my keg hop, but after 5 days, I pressure transfer out of the keg hop keg, into a purged serving keg. I've had pretty good results doing this.

Sparging is just rinsing the grain after mashing (or steeping) to try to get whatever is left on the grain after draining or removing grain bag from water. It is a good idea to do it but it's not what makes the difference between steeping and mashing.

Yes, they both mention extract. I guess the biggest difference is the amount and type of grain that is being "steeped". If it's just a small amount of specialty malt (crystal, roasted, chocolate) being used for color/flavor, that would be considered steeping and you wouldn't expect any...

The giveaway is whenever a recipe says light "LME" or "DME" (liquid malt extract or dry malt extract). There is a way to convert an extract or partial extract recipe to all grain. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but a quick search should find it. Also, the amount of grain used...

Those are the jugs that you exchange that have already been filled. I believe that the comment was regarding the "fill-yourself" water machine that most Walmarts have in them. It is a machine about the size of a refrigerator that basically has a faucet that dispenses RO water (not distilled)...

Morebeer.com for most stuff. Bargainfittings.com for fittings and silicone hose.

Ok. I thought it might have been one down in the va beach area. Guess that one is in Richmond since you're talking about RVA.

What location did the Duck Donuts come from?

Just call it a Saison and run with it??? That could explain away any bad/off flavors if you end up with any. (It's a saison, it's supposed to taste like that....). I think that's what a lot of breweries do anyway.

At this point, I would let it free rise to 65-68 for a few days (3-6) for a d rest and to finish up. Those few days should get you closer to where you'd want to finish 1.010 ish? After that, transfer for lagering. I lager in kegs under co2 to get started carbonating. I do not have experience...

The following is a response from a different thread. It talks about kegs, but also applies in your situation. """Try using 25-30 ft. of beer line to connect beergun. The really long line will make filling a little slower, but will greatly increase the quality of the bottled beer. Just coil it...

Welcome. I know getting stuff there isn't cheap. Spent a year up in arctic AK, just eating was expensive when everything is flown or shipped in.

PM sent. Check your messages. November meeting is this Thursday Nov 30.

Welcome from Virginia Beach, VA USA And I agree, Austria IS worth the visit. Only been once, for about 2 days, but I'd love to go back.

Picture didn't load.

Here's mine. While I do have a pump, I use gravity to drain from the mash to the boil. And can transfer from the boil to a fermenter if needed.
