Nope, I've actually never brewed on my stove. I have an outdoor propane burner. Thanks for the advice - assuming my stove could actually boil more than 2 gallons, it probly wouldnt fit under the hood.

Well my original post asked whether or not anyone had any problems with the linked brewpot... but thats neither here nor there. So far the 10g pot on austin homebrew seems to be the best deal for the money. I don't know that I'm gonna find a better deal than $70 for a 10g ss pot (then again i...

Thanks for the hostility evan, i'll try to keep the tears to a minimum. I found the 36qt bayou classic for $75 w/ shipping and will likely be going with that. I've tried to stay away from aluminum even though most say that it is fine.

Thanks for all the posts. I have checked a lot of places (incl local cooking supply shops) and only found expensive pots. I know that aluminum is fine, but i think that i am going to stick with stainless steel, especially since i found this one so cheap. thanks to all.

Thanks for the reply, i cant imagine anythign being wrong with any kind of stainless steel pot. but it doesn't hurt to ask. i think i'll buy it.

http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=2319 anyone buy one of these or know someone who has? im a big cheapass, but this is almost seeming too good to be true. any feedback would be good feedback.

So I bought some oak chips to "oak" my ESB. Well the label says "soak in water 12 hours before adding to wine. sufficient for 25 gallons". 2 questions here. 1. Do i need to presoak for use w/ beer (i dont think i do, but just checking). 2. How much of this bag should i use for a 5...

HA, well, like I said, I'm an idiot...

So I thought I read on here somewhere that it would be a good idea to trim back my hops when it reached a foot in height to make it grow back stronger or something. So I did it... like a week and a half ago, and it hasn't grown an inch since. the rest of the bines are taking off, but the huge...

Thanks for the input, I'm brewing a Wit this weekend and it uses coriander (and bitter orange peel), so thats not a big surprise to me, although I'm supposed to add it to the boil... My friend is brewing a "peanut butter porter" in which he used a hair dryer to remove a lot of the oil from...

Just wondering what kind of "alternative" things you use or have used in brewing. Obviously besides the hops, yeast and malt, what else have you put in your boil or fermenter?

I know... not the most specific title on the site... nevertheless, here's my question. I don't really have anything decent in terms of what to grow my hops on. I went to home depot yesterday and saw that they have pieces of lattice-fence that is about 6.5 - 7 feet tall. I know this is like...

Thanks for all the help guys. Unfortunatly my stove is old and weak, so even when I was using my 22qt pot, I was forced to buy an outdoor burner. So I've already got the outdoor burner. Ill check out some of these sites. Unfortunatly I bought a house and other petty stuff last year so funds...

stupid question. so until there is a layer of "stuff" on the inside of an aluminum pot, should i not use it?? just a little bit confused...

Seeing as how some sites frown upon posting about other sites, can somebody Pm me as to the whereabouts of a place to get a cheap keggle/brewpot? much obliged justin

Wow, thanks for the fast replies. I am still new to brewing, so obviously, the easier I make things for myself, the better. When I was getting started, I read that you really should stick to Stainless steel for brewing, and not use aluminum. All of the turkey friers I found were all...

So I bought my equipment to make my mash tun to do my first all-grain kit. I have done a Malt extract kit. My brew pot is only about 22qt's (not large enough for a full 5 gallon boil (not safe w/ boil-over etc). With malt extract kits i can just add the extra water later before...
