    first all grain brew

    Your not loosing anything just because you bought a cooler, doesnt mean you need to use it...save it for the beach

    first all grain brew

    Come on now....lets be open....there is zero " hot sticky Mess" That is something derived from people that refuse to except that BIAB actually makes the exact same beer without the equipment and bought a ton of stuff for lots of money for no reason....this is fact....cheers

    first all grain brew

    My suggestion would be skip the cooler and do BIAB with everything in the BK. Theres really nothing to it...Crush real fine. Steep grains in bag at around 152 pull bag, boil chill done. Get a mill if you plan on doing all grain. You can control the crush and buy base malts in bulk and save...

    Whirlpool with a spoon

    I use an auto siphon and suck everything out the kettle..It gets a little thick towards the end and slows down but it gets the job done. You dont need to leave the hop debris behind if you dont want to...no pumps

    No oxygen dry hopping

    Yeast cake in garden?

    Will it work to help my tomato garden if I dump it in the garden? It has hops in it I'd just be whipping it into the garden from a bucket. I rototill each year Any benefit to the garden microbes or just dump it down the drain as usual?

    No oxygen dry hopping

    Erector sets....dating myself. I'd do it if I had Grandkids Of course that would lead into FG sampling, "does this taste good to you" long talks on the porch, restricted visitation and possible jail time

    When did Cascade become $20

    Ya if it wasnt for autofill I wouldnt have bothered with my info. It does make things easy to get shipping prices

    When did Cascade become $20

    That would be a score. I punched in my info and its $15 shipping....right back to $20

    When did Cascade become $20

    2015 is pushin it...where is that from? No link....and whats shipping? If shipping brings it back to $20 you can get fresh hops for the same price

    What size co2 tank should I get?

    Even if you lost a full tank the difference between a 5# and 10# is only a difference of like $5, by me anyway. My concern is the the connection at the tank. I've had slow leaks there. Once its hooked up and proven leak free by a Star San spritz the last thing I want to do is open it up to swap...

    When did Cascade become $20

    I havent ordered hops in a year or more. I could have sworn Cascade was the cheap hop for like $12 a pound and under $10 on sale Looking online its $20 in many/almost all places. Some are cheaper but the shipping brings it right back up to $20 Did it go up a lot...like double?

    What size co2 tank should I get?

    I disagree with 5 pound also Almost the same cost to refill a 10 pound as it is a 5 pound and twice the gas. I have 2 taps and fill the tank 2 times a year at the most and brew 10 gallons once a month Buy the cheapest used one you can find thats still in date....the first time you fill it...

    Soapmaking

    I tried it again...a few times. I want to say I felt a tingle in my tongue but its probably in my head. Lets just say they're is a slight tingle....will that burn my skin when I use it in a few weeks?....kinda nervous I'm going to burn my skin off now. It also seems to have hardened up quick...

    My next brew will be BIAB....some related questions

    He was measuring how much he got out AFTER a full hour of draining. Pretty sure nobody lets the bag drain for an hour. 25 pounds of grain holds a lot of liquid. I still get a good amount out if I squeeze the bag after 15 minutes or so. Would probably be easier just to add a little more strike...
