Jeebus. Can we get some @BeerMeDuffMan crack back in here. Need some some lovely flat marine corps ass to mind bleach the TVKshank.

Glib jibber jabber like that has no place in this thread. This one is srs bzns. I'm just here for the craic. OT: More Barry's tea.

Perhaps we've been dressing down. OT: Drinking tea from a cracked cup. (not pictured as 'tis unclad)

Squeezed-sack-beers A variable without relevance in my personal experience.

Unlike a CO2 tank for beverages, fire extinguishers dispense CO2 from the bottom so as to get liquid CO2 coming out. Great for a fire, not so good for your regulator. That tube will need to be removed.

I disagree. Not having a stir plate and making starters is like not having a thermometer and making beer. Pointless frugality with increased costs. If you want to make starters, get one. They are cheap. Very cheap. Spend money, time and effort on stepping up a starter if that is your...

Not sure how it looks but here is a link to an easy way to make a starter. Covers all the ins and outs, numbers etc. Don't bother stepping up a starter. A waste of time and resources. Just make one that's big enough and give yourself time to decant it. (not applicable for this brew but there is...

Good! Never Stir. Let the racking do the mixing. (coil the transfer tube at the base of the bottling bucket and at the resultant passive swirl will produce optimal homogeneity) Less agitation~less oxygenation.

You need to do neither of these things. Brew beer and place it in the fermentor. Leave town for x weeks Return and package beer Store as is appropriate for the style/yeast being used. Consume when it's ready to be consumed. I would suggest never* using a secondary vessel prior to packaging...

Brewing via all grain typically results in more protein coagulation in the boil kettle. Some of this is hot break (forms during heating). Some is cold break (for during chilling). Both are desirable if clear beer is the goal. Hot Break prior to boiling of wort Break material in fermentor...

Wow! Amazing results there. Love the seltzer idea. Congrats

A 10 gallon pot is very good for 5 gallon batches. I have done it many times. There are some links in my signature covering the details. A few pictures there to illustrate the process. I have made 5.5 gallon batch beers beers at over 1.07 SG with full volume mashes. The system can work well and...

Thanks for sharing the results. Great stuff. If you're ever kicking around the PNW let me know. Grab a beer

No worries. Shoot me a PM if things change.

Best of luck Sammy. giphy.gif

I'm in Kirkland. (Finn Hill) I'd like to buy the kegs if you're willing to sell them. (I don't need the other stuff) $60 for the pair if you're interested.

I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Thanks for sharing your results. Cheers

Give the washing a miss. It's really of no benefit to you and without specialist lab gear is a futile endeavor. You wash nothing. Just harvest the slurry as is. Very simple to do after the beer is packaged. Another easy and effective way to get potentially limitless supply of quality...

I'd brew a Munich Dunkel. Repeat as necessary till desired level of Dunkelness is achieved.

But without any cool scars-talk? We're gonna need a bigger crib. tumblr_ogg5kmBnPO1rfd7lko1_500.gif
