I am looking for ways to improve my next brew so that it goes a bit more smoothly than my first. I am using wilser Bag in a 16 gal Bayou classic on stove top. The bag worked perfect, thanks wilser for his awesome work. Last brew I had theses difficulties: 1- Putting the hops inside the hop bag...

Hey there, I am also new to brewing just did one batch so far. If you are using BIAB, check this amazing calculator: http://pricelessbrewing.github.io/BiabCalc/

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunatly I can't do 10g batch yet since I need to use my hands to get out the BIAB bag and 5g is already heavy enough Will check for another "head retention" grain to replace it!

Hi all, thanks for sharing this recipe. I am in the process of buying the ingredient and my supplier (hop dawgs) doesn't have the : - American Briess Torrified Wheat 0.25lbs Is there a good substitute for that? Will the taste change a lot of I skip this grain? Also I think there is a type in...

You know what I'm thinking, just using a rope and do 2 hole in the bag, pass the rope in. Tie rope to both handles on the side so that it's tight. Wilser, do you think making 2 small holes would be safe with this bag, I'm afraid the hole will become bigger if I make one. Also do you recommend...

Hey Wilser, the bag worked perfect thanks again! I will check for a hop spider or build something similar myself at it seems to be expensive here (35$). Binder clip is a good idea, maybe clip it on the side of the kettle but the kettle top wall border is pretty thick (bayou classic). Noted for...

Good news, the beer is fermenting I can see it bubbling now! One bubble pop every 16 sec for now. I was a bit lazy and put the Amarillo hops at the same time because there was just 5min difference in this recipe (see under). Not sure 5min is worth the effort of taking the mesh bag out and...

I think I will wait a bit to see the result of this first one to see if I made any mistakes. I'm a bit worried as I pitched yeast (dry pitch, just pitched on top of wort) at 9PM yesterday, now 11AM and I'm not hearing sound from the fermentor (I use a 3 pieces airlock). I'm staring at it and the...

Finally the ingredients arrived today and I just did the receipe! I just pitched the yeast and it's now in the fermenter. Wondering when the thing will start to make noise, hopefully I didn't mess anything. I used star san everywhere to make sure. I measured around 1.065 OG (hard to measure...

Great thanks for sharing! Yes they make the same brands in smaller screw off bottles. I sometimes buy a 15pack with mixed Don de dieu, maudite, fin du monde and Ephemere for 18$ it's a good deal. I don't know why I prefer the bigger bottle, taste seems different but it may just be a placebo...

Yeah "La fin du monde" is pretty good, the beer, of course :) My favorite is "Don de dieu". Let me know if you have the recipe somewhere, could be cool to try! Not sure I would be able to do 9%+ beer but could be fun ;) Do you need that kind of bottle for stronger beer (the bottle is thicker...

Really nice, thanks for sharing. Never heard of carbonation drop before. Could be a good solution for me as I don't have a bottling bucket, I was thinking to use the kettle as a bottling bucket, but it's one more thing to clean.

Yes I am thinking going with PET. Trying to find any negative stuff on PET except the look but can't find much. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00428AXYY/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 You site price is better but shipping is 16$

Just want to be sure before I get this capper. Should this one work to reuse twist cap? http://hopdawgs.ca/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=253&search=capper Currently not sure if i'll go buy empty swing-top bottle or just buy standard twist cap and reuse them. Thanks for helping...

Hmm sounds good. Do you think theses could work? https://www.iga.net/fr/produit/soda-italiena-l-orange-sanguine/00000_000000062368211097 They are lemonade soda bottle, made in glass with a screw cap. I could probably twist the cap hard enough. Gf use theses for Kombucha brewing. This will be...

Hey The10mmKid, what kind of bottle is that? I could buy some 'cheaper looking' for my personal use like theses (are they PET?) and just give away the swing-cap ones.

Thanks for all the explanation guys. Yes the bottle I have here are for corks unfortunately. I'm currently debating whether or not trying to do this at home: Will be a bit harder and need to invest more in equipment, but the look and finish is really nice. Not sure it is worth it since I will...

Ah too bad I really like these bottles but I'm not sure on all the work involved here. We don't have a lot of good bottles, the rest are all twist cap (Budweiser, etc.).

I finally decided to use standard cap over flip cap since I don't want to have to think of replacing bad flip cap or loosing beer. Here in Québec, we have a lot of this bottle in commercial store: http://www.unibroue.com/en/beers/55/product It is a big 750ml format and would be perfect for my...

Thanks for the list. Not familiar with imperial measure. what does 1c/5gal mean? 1cup? Merci!
