ok thanks. yea it makes sense when you think about cold side/hot side.

Thanks for all the great responses. to those who are offended sorry for your luck. i spend a couple hours a night reading this forum and it has been a great help. why would i want to lie about searching for something when i can tell the truth an get the same, it not better results. most people...

I have a 5 gallon cooler that i would like to put a false bottom in to use for partial mash brewing. Is there any reason why i couldnt use the same cooler as a bottling bucket?

So instead of searching for hours though the forum I was hoping someone would explain the why i should or should not wash my yeast. Thanks in advance for any info!!

Its already available. PYREX

is there a right or wrong way to hook it up? what i mean is should the outlet come from the bottom or top of the coil?

i just received and ic as well. i dont plan to brew for a couple weeks but was wondering if i should first boil my new ic in water to clean it before its 1st use.

ok. no worries. i can sanitize again. its easy enough especially with a vinator. i was just hoping to not repeat a step.

Im just about ready to bottle my 1st beer(blonde ale). i sanitized with star san and left bottles on tree wednesday night. i planned to bottle tonight(friday) but it looks like im not going to have time until sunday. do i need to sanitize my bottles again? i was thinking they should be good...

this thread maybe kinda old but when i screwed the fat white part into the base i held the spray nozzle to prevent it from rotating. this helped to keep the spring on the pedestal.

sounds like a plan but i gotta say i have no idea what is involved. i have only done 1 extract. im planning a 2nd right now. this one is gonna be a full boil though.

im in cordova,just outside easton. newbie here though. have made a few wines and have my first beer in the secondary now

i would be careful when using strong cleaners on aluminum. your gonna need to reseason afterwards. if it was my pot i would boil water mixed with white vinegar and lemon juice.

if you can get a zero water filter its much better than a brita

i can wait.lol thankfully i've learned a little patience from making wine.

og was 1.038. when i racked it was a 1.004. it was in primary for 7 days. i guessing by the spaceing i did have about 1quart of headspace. when i make wine i always top off. how long can i leave in the secondary? can i bulk age like wine but say for 4 weeks instead of months? there was...

I'm in the middle of my first beer(blonde ale). Had 5.5 gal in primary to allow for some lost at racking. When i racked into my pyrex carboy i forgot it holds 5gal and 2ltrs. Should i be worried about head space? Im hoping that the racking rejuvenated the fermentation and is driving the...

I'm about to rack this Strawberry for the 2nd time. The attached pics are before and after the 1st racking. I am going to add campden this time around. I was considering topping off with some mead i made 2 years ago. Any thoughts?

On my next batch i plan to steep my grains 3gal on my stove top in a 22 qt stainless. Then transfer to 60 qt aluminum pot and add extract and water to make 6gal. im a newbie by the way. if what your saying is correct i should probably bring the volume to 6.5 so i will have 5.5 to put in the...

thanks for the input. i just figured its easier to get the correct temp on my stove and boil on my burner. especially since i cant boil 5-6 gal of wort on my stove.
