So I just finished building my first MLT and wanted to show it off and perhaps get some feedback. Sorry I didn't include any construction photos or a parts list. I mainly followed the parts and procedures outlined in the "Cheap & Easy 10 Gal Rubbermaid MLT" thread. The only real change I...

No longer in Iowa, but will always be a Cyclone (Construction Engineering 2006). Happy Brewing.

I have seen his recipe, which is rougly where I started from. Especially his choice of the S-05, because he states that he intentionally stayed away from a definitive wheat yeast. Anyways, thanks for the help!

Wanted to let everyone know my experience using a priming bulb as a siphon starter. If you're not familiar, check the link http://www.jmsonline.net/ppp/images/50251.jpg I bought mine at wal-mart for $5 and it had 3/8" connections, the same as my racking cane. I just cut the hose about...

Thanks for the support. I've learned volumes since I've found this site.

So my first home brew is 12 days from extract. (8 in primary and 4 in secondary) It was an AHS amber ale (on special for $20). I did just about everything wrong while making this beer. I pitched the yeast at about 95F, fermented for the first 24 hours at about 86F, and started the siphon...
