This sounds like fun! You might want to post in your state forum to find people closer.

When it's done. Yeast has it's own schedule. Hydrometer is the only way to know for sure. Although it's best to leave it on the yeast for a while after wards to let the yeast clean up after themselves. Then skip secondary cold crash and siphon from the top down into keg or bottling buckets...

Cleaning out the mash tun. Especially if I'm brewing late at night and forget about it for a day. I have to remind myself that even though i made it for cheap i shouldn't just throw it away and make a new one.

Just ordered the fan. So happy you posted this. I hate working on electronics. This is much easier.

Wow! Amazing thread. Subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. It's a dream my homebrew friends and I share. It's a relief to see that it's possible with some hard work.

They are great for reseating a bead on your tires or even running air power tools. I spent many summers with a 20lb Co2 tank in my jeep. Mine was strapped to the roll bar in the baking desert sun. I never had a disk blow or have a single problem. None of my friends who used them did either...

I've started going to slc brew myself. If you need help sampling any of that beer im free :D Let me know how it turns out. If its close i'll be brewing your recipe next week now that I have a carboy free.

^ I did the same. 10 day fermentation with 2 days to cold crash then kegged. Pretty fast turn around and great beer for the 4th.

How'd it turn out? Did you ever figure out if Rogue uses a different yeast in bottle? I'm looking at doing this same recipe. And which LHBS sells pacman? last time i was in beernut they didn't have any.

We took apple juice and bread yeast and hid it in the woods behind my house for a few weeks with the lid on kinda loose. This only worked in the winter. We tried it in the summer and found it full of ants. In the summer we picked up homeless people and paid them to get us cheap liquor in the...

Rogue beer are one of my favorite. Try their hazelnut brown ale. Dragonmeads Tripel is really good as well. Those are the only two that i recognized from the list. Wish i was there. I love Montreal.

Corn sugar=dextrose. Which is the priming sugar most LHBS sells. The best way, is to add it to the container instead of into each bottle. Weigh out how much you need. Fill pot with water, enough to cover the sugar, and boil while stirring for a few min. Cool to the temp of the fermenter then...

My tripel did the same thing for almost 2 weeks. It finally stopped at 1.009. I love what them little buggers do when they are happy.

I'm impressed! Excellent job on converting a rape dungeon into a home brewery!

She looks amazing! Well done!

Cold crashing will give better results without the contamination issues. Throw your primary or secondary in the fridge for 24-48 hours. Then while its cold, rack it onto your priming sugar in your bottling bucket and bottle. If you are bottle conditioning then let them warm up to room temp...

Great point here. Get a digital scale and weigh the priming sugar.

Make? model? I'd do the corn starch/vodka test to make sure there are no lines going through the top before drilling. Check out this site for a guide. http://www.kegkits.com/kegerator4.htm

2753.5 + 5.5= 2759 Just had my first pint of Centennial from my new kegerator. I'm already planning on making more since i can tell its going to go fast!

Sitting on 30 bottles of hoppy red 30 bottles of wee heavy 5 gal robust porter bottle conditioning 5 gal nut brown bottle conditioning 5 gal blond cold crashing 5 gal tripel primary and 2 empty carboys :( So it's time to brew something else. I just built a kegerator and now i've got CO2 and...
