I am confident this will be immensely helpful when I sort it out, but I am not sure I understand the 'calibration data' section of this. Let's say I'm in a room that's around 74 degrees - I would log that, then log the temperature inside the cooler as it sits on my counter (or whatever), and...

Yeah, the recipe notes I have say ~7.5 gallon boil, but I'm reading a lot on here that says 1.5 gallons of water per pound of grain? Any thoughts? EDIT: AH. QUARTS OF WATER. NOT GALLONS. QUARTS.

HA! Fair enough! I think the LHBS has some of the ones that are like. Aluminum blocks that you run a hose through or something? They're real cheap. Might grab one. Good call. The recipe I am going to be trying has a grain bill of about 12lbs for a 5 gal batch. So that's what, 15 gallons of...

Got it - yeah, I was including the valves and strainers in the list of "conversion supplies" but I can certainly understand how someone would miss those. I am definitely going to go stainless on the kettle. Cool, will definitely pre-heat. Is the wort chiller required if I have a sink I can...

Hello all! For those of you who didn't catch my introduction thread - ie probably most of you - I am looking to get started with all-grain brewing due to the simple fact that a number of recipes have been handed down to me, all of which are all-grain. I have an old cooler that has been kicking...

90's alt rock (Faith No More, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead in particular) and metal. I like almost everything except for indie and its related sub-genres.

Here's my short summaries - "Home" is a vulgar blend of affected fake southern accents (they're from Los Angeles), off-key whistling, vaguely incestuous lyrics, weird storytelling among an undetermined number of "singers," and incongruous horn parts. Wretched tune. The lyrics to "The Banjolin...

Question for you fine folks. All of my recipes are all-grain and I'd like to get started that way. I'm going to be converting my old cooler into a Mash Tun. Looks like I'll need a kettle, a mash tun, and a fermenter. Is this a solid buy as a kettle? I am 90% confident this is a guy down the...

A friend and I actually have a podcast about songs we hate, though I'll refrain from promoting it here as I don't know what the rules around such things are. Currently high in our "worst song" power rankings are Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes - "Home" and Mumford and Sons - "The Banjolin...

this is nuts, man. Great work.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've got a beat-up, but still functional, old Coleman camp cooler that I've been keeping in my mom's garage for years "just in case." Learning I could turn it into a mash tun was the sign I needed. Ha!

Hi all, As a native of Portland, it was really only a matter of time before I started to get into homebrewing. My uncle was a fairly accomplished homebrewer, but he doesn't really drink much anymore and as a result has stopped brewing. He has graciously allowed me to use his recipes - some with...
