I would assume that if you were doing an imperial, you'd want to do a starter.

Good luck! I couldn't get my stuff in order so I won't be brewing this weekend. It is going to be nice to try my first AG brew next weekend. I'm just doing biab... Please update the thread with your learnings! :) Thanks

I think there's a beer alchemy app also. I think I may try that one as you can also get the app for your comp and sync the two. I've also heard the beer alchemy app for the comp is good so you're not compromising there. I'd love to hear your feedback once you buy one and have a chance to use it.

I am just starting out and have only two fermenters. 1 5 gal glass 1 6.5 gal glass I was going to pick up 1-2 more glass 5gal ones then decided to pickup two extra cornys instead... Oh well. :)

I'm not sure here the op lives but in WA, hose water is pretty cool. This is assuming I can get my propane burner that I want. We shall see.

Same question but would 20 be enough for only 5 gal batches in a keggle?

HAHA Love it!

I'm sure a large tub with Water and Ice should work... I'm thinking about one of those eBay temp controllers too..

If you don't find any used one, you can get a great deal from kegconnection.com. I just ordered my setup from them. With the $7.95 flat rate shipping, hard to go wrong. Good luck!

I'm thinking of getting a keg and converting it to a kettle. Thoughts on that? Someone also has a wort chiller that has a hose wrapped around copper for sale here locally. How are those wort chillers? Shh. Don't tell the wifey. :)

I tried but just too hard to do that with a keg setup. And I just couldn't install cheap parts only to pay full price when I wanted to upgrade. :) And I am spreading it. :) trying to wait two months before buying my 10gal pot and wort chiller. I aleady sold the 5gal pot I just bought to a...

Haha. All very valid responses... After looking at how much I've spent and how much there still is to spend (heck I don't even have a wort cooler yet or a pot big enough to do a full boil!) :) there's no way that it's cheaper to brew. :) The porter response is funny because that's her favorite...

That's just dispensing though... What about carbing and dispensing?

I really thought of that but having 100 beer bottles around and then sanitizing and filling etc etc just seemed too tedious to someone with my add tendencies... :) We'll see what happens. Hopefully she won't cut my balls off... I'm sure I'm not the only one who's jumped in like this...

So.... My wife got me a brewing kit for Xmas... Since then, I've brewed two beers and both are fermenting at the moment. I've kind of got into this really quick and really far. Meaning, my wife gave me another $200 budget because I wanted to start kegging instead of doing the bottles. I don't...

Just bought a 22 of Stone Vertical Epic 11-11-11. Haven't had a chance to drink it yet but tomorrow... :)

Whoo Hoo! Gotta love that. I'm up in Bellingham and we didnt lose power so thankfully my beers were ok!

Looks pretty cool. Any advice on if I should do this if I'm only going to be doing 5 gal batches for a while? I want to do full boils as my current pot doesn't really allow for that. This would be a much more economical option then buying a $100+ pot. Thanks!

Ok, so for Xmas my wife bought me a brew kit. I was really excited! Last week, I brewed my first beer. A Porter as I let her pick what the first beer would be and she's a big porter fan. Here's the recipe: North Corner Brewing | BIG PORTER Then I was telling a friend i was going to move...
