Interesting. So you have no issues with not hitting a cold break?

I agree with you. I'm in KY. Right now we're under a foot of snow. In the summer it's hot as b4lls. My basement is always steady though. :)

I considered this as well...and I like the way you're thinking. However, my thought was: well, if I get a bigger/better brew kettle and I do full boils then that's more liquid to cool off. Do I need an immersion or counterflow chiller? That's the second mention of controlling ferm temp...

Interesting response. Why do you say that? I guess I'm asking what does this do that would allow you to make the decision to go further? Is it just an old fridge or something? :)

So, it appears that I am at a crossroads. I am about 15 batches into this all-consuming hobby and I want to make sure my purchases move me in the direction of producing better beers, etc. I have done extract, partial mash and all grain brews (1 gal only) and have enjoyed each approach. All of...

You totally beat me to it. This has to happen. And I must flash the metal fingers :rockin: anytime I talk about the process...even if it's to myself. Whoever recommended this for a Beginner's Sticky, I second that! The dude is seriously impassioned and taking this all in stride. I will...

The best part is @ 4:09 when he flashes the metal fingers after saying "we're not making a pilsner, we're making a black" something or other. \m/ :rockin:

Best. Video. Like. Ever.

I feel ya here. In this month's BYO, the Recipe Editor and author of "Vermont Cult Clones" (Dave Green) says that he knows there's 6 different hops in there but some of them not being US seems a stretch. He specifically mentions noticing Simcoe and states that John Kimmich reviewed the recipe...

That makes total sense given how much the supply has dried up over the past 6 to 12 months. By packaged I assume you mean bottles. If so, then yeah there has been a precipitous dropoff. Oddly enough, Dust has been more prevalent than anything else....including Alpha King. However, the kegs...

If you ever see their Backmasking Oatmeal Stout in a bomber. Grab all of them. I love me some 3 Floyds but was especially blown away with the execution of this animal. Grabbed a six pack of Zombie Dust in my hometown last week and am holding onto it like "my precious."

Thanks for the clarification (and link) and welcome to HBT. This group of guys and gals are awesome!!!

Gonna tweak it a bit and find out. A quick 1 Gal brew this weekend and taste it out of the kettle. Mad scientist time. bwahahaha

TOTALLY AGREE that they're crack. I just posted a recipe I found on Brew Toad. Give it a look and see if you think it's heading in the right direction. I can definitely experiment with it. :mug:
