Still available? Link? Nevermind...found it. Thanks.

The smiley face was meant to imply sarcasm...guess it failed.

The Lowe's bucket I bought today has a #2 on the bottom. Again, this is my only option given the interior height of my ferm chamber. I'll just scrub it real good with a wire brush to make sure it's good 'n clean.:)

For those that are against, what's the biggest reason? Potential off-flavors or toxins?

Lowe's has food safe/BPA free 5 gal buckets (for $4) - anyone used these as a secondary? Seems like they would work perfectly and would allow little headspace like a carboy. All I need to buy is a lid & an airlock from my LHBS. Esp. good for my setup as my ferm freezer (which is large enough...

Cool.

I never use a lid. Know better than that. Since I started using a propane burner, I've found that I can incrementally control my boil and I prefer a less vigorous boil, but it is definitely "boiling".

A boil is a boil, right? The temp's not going to exceed 212 deg., is it? * Also, I am thus far doing only partial mashes.

Craigslist is your friend. Just got an 8 cu.ft chest freezer (commercial grade) for $60.

The answer to any question following these words is generally "no" or "why?".

I had similar problems when I moved to larger pot. Ended up finding a turkey frier set-up on craigslist for $30. $20 for the propane and now I brew outdoors, which I find is preferable (as does swmbo). I actually try to avoid the vigorous rolling boil - and my LHBS owner agrees with this practice.

So, what kind of fixture do you place the bulb into? Also, are you using a Johnson temp controller? I just got a chest freezer which I'm converting to a fermentation chamber, however, temps here in GA are are cooling off and I'm going to need a way to keep the freezer (which is in my garage)...

I just brewed the AHB Pumpkin Ale Partial Mash last weekend. I simply bought a baking pie from the grocery store, cut into 3"-4" chunks, roasted in the oven at 350 fer an hour, removed the skin and baked for another 30 min to further caramelize. I placed it in it's own mesh bag beside my...

I buy Kroger brand. Same active ingredients and it cost less than half. Works great.

Many thanks. Great information there.

Is it true that the pumpkin doesn't add much to the flavor profile? That using spices that you would normally add to pumpkin pie will create the "pumpkin pie" flavor. Just curious as I'm about to brew the AHS pumpkin ale and am considering adding some maple sugar, nutmeg, etc.

What!? This is nonsense.

I just built mine yesterday. $39 for 20' of 1/2 Copper tubing and an additional $8 for the plastic tubing, fittings and collars. To save a few bucks, I bought a standard female hose fitting in the lawn & garden section. The same basic piece in the plumbing section was 3x as much. So, or $47...
