6 weeks is definitely too young for a RIS IMO. Blonde ale, IPA, or pale ale would all be done within 6 weeks no problem. US-05 or S-04 would be good yeasts (S-04 ferments fast and drops like a rock... it's nice that way)

Made this beer in time for my 30th birthday, hence the name. I've received some good feedback on this brew, so figured I'll toss it up. Title: Dirty Thirty Black IPA Author: Matthew Homebrew Brew Method: All Grain Style Name: Specialty IPA: Black IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 11 gallons...

Hi.

Hello.

If you still have it, I'll take it!

YOU DUN MESSED UP.

Hey.

I'm in the same boat. My buddy is rolling a Witch Doctor... I'm on the fence. Maybe a barb, maybe a monk I just re-subbed to WoW. Totally worth it.

I do 10gal (end product volume) AG batches. Which means my post-boil volume is normally 11-12gal. I'm normally starting with ~14gal. I'm using a 20gal kettle. It's fantastic and stress-free, since boil-overs are a non-issue. I also expect to do some 15gal batches in the future (ex: making...

I'm currently soaking oak cubes for an Imperial Stout I'll be making in the next week or two. I'm using a 50:50 mix of French:American medium toast cubes; 2.5oz of each. The plan is to let them soak for 1 week in Bulleit bourbon, drain (and drink) that bourbon, then add fresh bourbon and soak...

I wouldn't say "lost"...

Not even a proper 20oz pint? For shame. :mug: FWIW I use both glass and buckets. Buckets are easier to clean, but I prefer glass carboys. They're pretty and I like being able to see what's going on during the fermentation.

Another +1 to blichmann. I'm in love with how quiet it is, and it's very fuel efficient. I'm already at 3 10gal batches (and that's with heating ALL water/wort on it) on a single propane tank, with gas to spare.

QOTD: SWMBO bought me a Festa Brew IPA kit (one of the big bags 'o wort). Made an honestly pretty damn good beer. I've been chasing the dragon ever since.

Checking in. I miss having an avatar. Oh well.

Are you using standard PVC tubing or is it silicone? If you're using PVC when moving hot wort that could potentially be a culprit.

Cubed, frozen, straight into secondary.
