I broke my hydrometer last time i Brewed and didnt replace it in time to bottle. I can take a reading from one of the bottles when i get a replacement right? Carbonation wont affect the reading?

Not sure if this would work for you, but you could cover the door with whatever you want, and then paint "chalkboard paint" over it. You can buy it or make it. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/how-to/how-to-make-your-own-chalkboard-paint-016134

Im bottling tonight. After they I clean my bottles with Oxyclean, I just run them through the dishwasher on hot with heated dry and NO SOAP. I actually run the dishwasher rinse cycle once with no soap to clean out any residue. Then just bottle using the open door on the dishwasher.

Orfy, did you solder your copper or just leave it pushed together for easy cleaning?

Will most Bayou burners support a Keggle, or are people having to modify the stand, and if so how? Im a little worried about putting a keggle on this one. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0000BXHL1 I think im going to put a grill grate over it and set the keggle...

I have a weird feeling it will.

The internet is still around?

Just got this in an email. Looks like it could be a great deal if you need an upgrade. http://northernbrewer.com/kettles.html Used 10 Gallon Stainless Kettle, dings and dents $59.95 EACH We've come across a bunch of 10 gallon stainless steel kettles that, in all honesty, look like...

I bottled my extract brewed IPA and its well carbonated, but the head retention sucked. (thats a softball). One of the bottles filled almost completely full because my bottle wand spring got clogged, and it ended up having tons of foam, too much really. What was the big difference? I wish...

How is everyone seperating the SS braid from the connections on the end, and the tubing on the inside? I started cutting the ends off with a saw, and i dont see how im going to get the inner part out. Did i mess something up here?

My pot holds 6 Gallons, so i should be ok with boiling at least 4, until i can upgrade.

Thanks, I am going to start partial mashing, and want to do about 6 lbs of grains, which makes me think i need to be ready to boil more than 3.5 gallons of wort.

I come close to boiling over every time, at least once. I end up picking up the pot for a second and turning down the heat (turkey fryer), and stirring alot. I seem to have plenty of room during the rolling boil, and other than the boil over moments, there is about 6 inches to spare. I...

I think my SS Pot holds 5 Gallons. I currently do about 3.5 Gallon boils, and that leaves about 6 inches of empty space from the wort to the top of the pot (maybe my put holds more that 5 Gallons). I worry mostly about boil overs, but after looking at others' pictures, they seem to have their...

Do you live near a bev-mo type store? Look for coronitas. http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?sku=00000004244&N=168+41+%2D5027+175&Nr=Store%3A99&area=beer

Nice. Definately grab a taster or growler while your there.

I am on my second batch. I live right around the corner from homebrew mart/Ballast Point in Linda Vista. Ive been keeping my primaries in the bathroom on the lower level of my condo. Ive actually needed to use a space heater to keep the temp around 68, but i think it will be perfect during...

Thanks for the advice. I will go with the 5 gallon cooler.

So is there really no happy medium between all grain and partial mash? I was kind of thinking about doing 6 lbs of grains, and say 5-6 lbs of extract, so i think i would need at least half the fermentables to come from the mash. I agree that i need a bigger kettle, but a found a great deal...

Most of the information i have gotten about when to pitch yeast is when my wort cools to about 80 degrees. I did this last weekend, and saw activity within 3 hours (i also used a starter for the first time. I was glad to see such a short lag time, but now the temperature of my wort was a...
