Picked up the ingredients for a 2.5gallon AG BIAB batch of pale ale that I want to brew so that the new 3 gallon glass carboy I picked up used today has something in it besides an oxy soak.

Bell's Pale Ale again. I seem to have developed a taste for it...

Just finished a Lakefront Brewery Wisconsinite

Very tempting, but I think I'm going to hold out and keep looking for a decent sized and reasonably priced chest cooler.

I did my first AG BIAB on Monday - a 2.5 gallon batch of a Centennial Blonde, then I brewed a NB extract kit last night (Shining Star Pale Ale). Since NB is local to me, I'm going to their free intro class on Saturday - I figure I'll meet some folks and get a free pint glass out of it, should...

Made sure the fermentation temps on the BIAB Centennial Blonde I brewed last night were stable and acceptable (and the yeast appears to like it - was already starting to bubble 2 hours after pitching last night, nice krausen now and bubbling away happily). At the moment, I'm brewing the...

1 6 gallon BB 1 5 gallon BB 1 3 gallon BB I'm keeping a close eye on CL for another 6 gallon at least, and considering another 3 gallon also. :edit: picked up a 3 gallon glass carboy yesterday off CL. It's currently holding my latest 2.5gal BIAB experiment.

What kind of temp range do you get on this? I'm in Milwaukee, and might be interested.

I'm working on my first 2.5 gallon BIAB AG batch right now. I want to do AG, but I know it'll be a while before I can make the investment to do bigger batches. I'm stuck with what my kitchen can handle right now. I can still do 5 gallon extract kits, and experiment with the BIAB batches for...

I bottled my hefe (NB kit) today - got 50 bottles and about half a glass of "sample" left. Tasted pretty good, but a little heavier on the clove than I had anticipated. Mine fermented at about 66-68, but wasn't well controlled (ambient basement temp is pretty consistently in the mid to upper...

Bottled my first batch - NB's Bavarian HefeWeizen (and sampled the "leftover" half glass when I finished) Got the grains/hops/yeast to do a 2.5gal BIAB AG Centennial Blonde (mashing as I type this) Picked up an extract kit for a pale ale from NB (undecided if I'm brewing that tonight or...

I'm in for two. Will send pm and payment when I get home from vacation (late tomorrow night or Monday morning). Having to surf on my Kindle until I get home.

Looking for bottles in Milwaukee, WI. I could use both beer bottles and wine bottles if anyone is looking to get rid of any.

I picked up a large (18 gallon?) bucket for swamp cooling from Wal-Mart for $6. And +1 on the oxy-clean free also. While I was there I picked up 5 gallons of cheap 100% apple juice to make some apfelwein as well. Worthwhile trip I'd say.

Count me in!

Two daughters, 14 and 10. My son will be 8 next month. My ex's son (who for all intents and purposes is my own) is 18. Even split :)

So far my 10 year old is the only one that took an interest. She told me it looked like I was setting up a science lab last weekend when I was brewing. The first thing she asked the next morning was where did I put the beer, and as soon as she checked to make sure it was really there she had...
