I wasn't referring to brewing vs buying. DME/LME is very pricey for me compared to what I can get Grain for online. I haven't found a good source of DME/LME that's bulk cheaper than what I can get at my LHBS. I could be spending half as much per batch brewing all grain than brewing with extract...

VERY new. About to brew my second batch soon. I don't mind doing the Extract Brewing. I just haven't found a cheap source of DME/LME. I guess I'll get a few more brews under my belt first then. Guess I should be asking where is a good source for cheap DME/LME.

I'm still very new to brewing. From the economical aspect, I want to go all grain. My question is if I have simply have a 30qt stockpot and a good propane burner; can I just to boil my whole brew in one pot and not have to sparge or use any of the other fancy equipment? :confused:

Is it possible to get a pic on where you're connecting the wires? I think this the fermentation chamber build I want to go with.

So less sugar since it's not going to be consumed by yeast? I was actually thinking of just using Splenda.

Just for clarification, if I force carbonate, I don't need to use any yeast correct? I just have to recarbonate if I'm using a carb cap, correct?

I'm trying to convert a Honey Ale Extract recipe to a PM and AG recipe. I'm new to brewing and don't know what style to use. Can any one point me in the right direction? Thx in advance.

Then figure out how much sugar U need in grams for priming and see in the flavoring has that much. If it's short, you should be able to make up the difference with Light DME or Corn Sugar.

I personally haven't bottled. I went straight to kegging. But I would say if Ur kit didn't come with any DME, then U definitely would use the peach flavoring like a normal priming solution. U can also go back to Ur LHBS and ask how to bottle this particular kit.

I was thinking more along the lines of just dropping a lemonhead in the bottle before capping. The candy will naturally dissolve. I'm think it'd be like taking one of those slow acting tablets. It's all conjecture. Not sure if this is something I'll ever do. It's a random thought that flew into...

I think I hear a choir singing and harps playing. ;-)

I keg my beer so I'm not sure I could even do this if I wanted to; but I was enjoying some LemonHead Candy a few minutes ago and started to wonder if you could actually use a small candy like a LemonHead to prime your bottles? Has anyone tried this?

I have two. But they are REALLY pricey. I hate paying top dollar when I don't HAVE to. I'll give them call at lunch time and see if they have the shank for sale by itself.

Is there a cheap and reliable way to fabricate a shank. I'm thing of trying to get a Jockey Box setup before Super bowl. I'm ordering a CO2 kit tomorrow. So I'll have almost every thing I need including my existing hardware to make a 2 tap Jockey Box. I just have to pick up some manifold...

My sister-in-law raises horses. Gonna see if she has a old grain mill I can use.

Has any one tried this thing? I'm new to brewing, but wouldn't that put too much pressure on the bottle if Ur only bleeding sediment every few days?

@DeathBrew: That's the guy I meant. Been looking JT's Mother of Fermentation Chiller build. I suck at wood working, so I decided to buy a Utility Cabinet; insulate it and run the Temp Control through to the door. I'm thinking I may even be able to get lagering temps if I use water resistant...

What are you using to cool Ur fermentation chamber? I haven't seen the cooling chamber done vertically in any of the plans I've seen so far.

I've only done one brew so far. It was a kit that came with the set my wife bought for me. I'm getting another kit this Friday. It's gonna cost me ~34 bucks. That's still cheaper than two cases of Microbrew for me. I want to go PM. I don't have the $ or space for AG atm. I've been shopping...

/agree. Looks like a great build so far. I just started brewing. Looking at making a Ferm. Chamber and Jockey Box 1st.
