Cleaning out the kettles getting ready for my seasonal pumpkin ale.

Not enough carbonation yet IMO drop the PSI down and let it go another week and it will get better with time.

I leave them in for about 2 weeks. I do 2 beans per 5 gallons

$30.00 that's what the liquor store gets charged as a deposit. I bought some from local store just payed the 30 to cover his deposit costs

I make vanilla porters all the time. It's my favorite to brew and drink. I add 2 cut and scraped beans to the secondary. I use vodka to sanitize the beans.

I cut the bean and scrape the inside and soak in vodka to sanitize. I add 2 beans to the secondary for taste. That's when I make my vanilla stout porter

I would start kegging first. Then save up for all grain equipment and there are some things on your list you can make yourself to save money

+1 I agree. I have a 25' chiller. Last night I chilled 5 gallons to 70 degrees in less then 20 min. Try stirring the chiller while in the liquid. Seems to help drop the temp quicker.

+5 gallons Irish Stout = 22,119

I tried to lager before I knew how to and it came out awful. That's the only batch I had to dump. Still have nightmares about it :)

Can't wait I just bought grain to brew pumpkin beer It's always a hit around the holidays.

Maiden voyage!

Brewing 5 gals of Irish stout on the new brew stand. So far so good. 75 min boil. Cheers

5gal Irish stout on the boil.

Made my yeast starter last night for my vanilla stout porter. It's the maiden voyage for my new single tier brew system this afternoon. Cheers!

Thanks I got it running now.

Sounds like a great time. I will see if I can make it. Haven't brewed in a while just finished my single tier brew stand. Nothing on tap right now to share unfortunately. Have the grains to brew a pumpkin ale and an Irish stout just need to get 2 more fittings and the wheels and my stand is...

Sounds good. What night do you meet and where?

I have never used one on a keg but I figure it will work. Look up online quick seal stainless plug. There is a lock washer on one side and a gasket on the other. You may want the gasket in the outside I'm not sure what it's made of ( in case it has something in it you don't want in your beer)

I had to replace my entire kitchen counter top. I left the star San bottle on it with some of the liquid around the bottom. It left stains all over. My wife got her granite counter tops after all. Needless to say I brew and sanitize in the garage now!
