Try shooting the pics before you drink!LOL:cross:

Thats what I have and it works just fine. I also like that it comes apart for cleaning. Never used a turkey baster so can't help with that. Hope this helps. Lance

135+5=140 Just SWMBO and I drank this one,it was too good to share.Defiantly more on the way!

Get a good boil going, then after the break settles turn your flame down to maintain a rolling boil.I start with 7.25 gallons and boil off about 1 gallon an hour.I also lose about 3/4 gallon to trube and end up with 5.5-5.25 gallons every time.Hope this helps.:mug...

I have the same setup that you have and found that the pie plate w/holes works fairly well, but it still takes 2+ gallons to clear.I think part of the problem is grain is getting under the false bottom by stirring the mash.I hard piped my false bottom to the valve and that helped, but didn't...

Way to go.I just did my 1st AG too and think I'm hooked.I'm doing my 2nd AG brew tomorrow.Everything worked out very well on the 1st brew thanks to all the great info here.Keep on brewing!:mug:

Are your fliptops plastic?If so,that is most likely the cause of the leak.File or sand the seam from the mold flat and smooth to make a better seal.I had the same thing happen to my beer with fliptops.Some would carb fine and some would not.After sanding the plastic tops smooth they all carb...

I have to agree,it was way easier than I though and definantly tons of fun.

I had been reading/planing/calculating all week and everything went great.I hit my temps spot on and was able to get 78% from my system.The beer I brewed is a 5.5 gal. batch of BierMunchers Centennial Blonde except I used 8lbs. of pale 2row instead of 7.The only kink I had was that my false...

Can't help with this one but when you bottle this beer you can measure with water and mark the gallons off with a sharpy

Does anyone use the mash and sparge calculators from Tastybrew,and if yes are they accurate? Thanks Lance

Thats a great idea. Please post your results

I built a son of fermentation chiller and it works great. I built mine to hold two carboys side by side. I ferment my ales at 64 deg. and once the beer stableizes at this temp the fan hardly runs. I switch frozen water bottles every other day and there's still ice in the bottles that I pull out...

Check your boil off rate with water first. Last weekend I started with 6.5 gal. and ended up with 4.75 gal. for a 1hr. boil. It was windy and cold so my boil off rate changed. It would be wise to test with water first to give you an idea of your boil off rate.

I have a SNPA clone in the primary fermenting with Wyeast 1056.:ban: SWMBO wants an American wheat beer. My question is would it be OK to rack the wheat onto this yeast cake? Thanks for your suggestions !

It's been 12 years since I last brewed.I brewed an amber ale and it feels great to be brewing again.Next weekend I plan on a SNPA clone.It's going to be a diffacult wait to taste. :rockin:
