I bought a grate for a round charcoal grill at Home Depot. It fits on the top of my 10 gal kettle to rest the bag of grains on.

Nice article. I too started all grain via BIAB. I did extracts for two years before making the move. In that time, I did a lot of research into making extracts better (full boils vs partial boils, late LME addition, etc.). This helped me improve my process and made the move into all-grain less...

I may have to try that.

Took 3 weeks in the bottle, but has turned out great. This will be a great summer beer.... If it lasts that long. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Interesting recipe. I may have to give it a go. How long was the mash?

My last extract was Caribou Slobber and I did a full boil with 100% of LME at flameout. I only used 1/2 of the hops from the recipe. I ball parked it and didn't get an exact measurement. Still was a tad bitter for my liking. But it has sat for a couple months and mellowed out in the keg. I...

I brewed it about a month ago. Just bottled it last night. In a couple weeks I'll post pictures and a tasting review.

You will need to adjust your hop schedule if your recipe calls for partial boil. The rule of thumb I've heard is to reduce your hops by 25% when doing full boil. Your evaporation rate will depend on how rigorous your boil is. Too hot and you'll burn off more. This was a lesson I learned when...

My last batch I used my bottling bucket. I lined the bucket with a sanitized fine mesh bag and dumped everything in from my cooled kettle. After removing the bag, I let it sit for 30 minutes or so for everything to settle to the bottom. Then I open the spigot and let it run into my carboy...

Looks great!!!

I had the same problem with a couple of kegs that I bought used. Both had the soda smell and the posts weren't right (all had gas only posts, rather than gas and liquid posts). Like others said, I soaked overnight with PBW and hot water, smell was gone.

I use a SS strainer my wife has for pasta. Does a good enough job.

+1 with this. I purchased two used kegs once. The previous owner said they had been cleaned. When I got them home, both smelled like soda. They got long soaks and multiple cleanings with PBW. I only have two kegs. One keg I keep the same beer in all the time. I clean the lines on that one...

When the beer ferments, it creates CO2. That is what causes the foam. It is normal.
