Yep, if you roast it will pasterize it. Not sure how long you need. I will look it up and let you know.

Well, I am not a en expert at nibs, but I think you could do either depending on what taste you want. And the liqour is just a way to disenfect it with something that isnt going to harm the beer. I would contact the guys at Northern Brewer, they have a live chat help from actual brewers during...

Its a printed version, but I just looked and it has a copyright of 2006. Also, what about if he put in a yeast nutrient packet, like some do with mead, although that is usually farther down the line and not just 10 days later

Oh ok, I was working off the numbers of a dry packet averaging 6B cells per gram. That data is from Palmers How To Brew, but maybe thats a bit out dated.

Agreed. With a OG of 1.070, that is a lot of sugar to crank through. Plus with that high of OG, you should have had a yeast cell count of about 200 billion. Which is about 3-4 dry packets.

Possibl just a longrt cord, but can you get a good detailed pic or two to ensure I am picturing this correctly?

What was the activity in your airlock of the primary ferm vessel? Also what was your yeast situation? Dry or liquid? If dry, did you rehydrate woth water and nutrients? If liquid, did you do a starter? And how much?

Brew_G, I have the same issue since I live in SW Arizona. Since I brew in the kitchen, I put an aquarium pump in the sink and connect a vinyl hose from that to my coil. Then I do about the same thing you do, run tap water til about 100 degrees, then add ice. I get mine down to about 75 in 15...

Looks great. You guys have done well

So how did the brewing go? I am looking for a good pumpkin beer to brew and yours looks good.

I wouldn't add another piece, it already looks good. But i would get a wider piece of lumber and redo it. Since you did a good job once, you can do it agian and in the long run, you will be happy with it.

When I started last year I had a kettle that was about 4 gallon and I did the same as you, 5 gal extract brews, but I just bought a bigger kettle so I could do BIAB. So if you know you are doing BIAB or compmete all grain then just buy a 15 gal right away. I saw some good deals on Amazon the...

I am not a kegger yet, so I dont know what type of connections are available, but can you get a 90 degree elbow type of connection? And if you hadnt stained the wood and drilled it for taps, I would say just get a little larger lumber.

THAnks. I was asking because of some of the recipes on tastybrew.com list recipes that had some hops in pellet form and some plug/whole on the same recipe so I thought there could be a difference

So no matter the form of hops, just use the weight listed?

Like said above, just get a turkey fryer burner and go outside. I just picked one up for $10. Watch craigslist and if your area has an exchange site on facebook. Also there may be a local brewclub that has people that are selling equipment.

If I find a recipe calls for hop plug/whole but I can only get my hands on the pellet version. Can I use pellets with the same result and what would be the conversion for weight?

What everyone is saying about heat transfer is correct. The point if an imersion chiller is to act like ice cubes. Your drink gets cold because your drink is hot when compared to the temperature of an ice cube. Hot fluid has more energy than cold so the heat moves to the cold to balance out...
