All the LME was added at the beginning, but keep in mind that it was only a twenty-minute boil.

Crazy... Moved to secondary tonight. OG 1.080, FG 1.012. 8.9% ABV? Have I created a monster?

A crack in the fermenter is more of a sanitary issue than anything as it provides a place for bugs to hide out if not addressed. Clean and sanitize it well, you'll be fine. co2 is going to escape by means of least resistance, be it through that crack or your airlock. Like trumpetbeard said, if...

Can I has winning? :fro:

You might try the calculators over at BrewersFriend.com. It helped me scale everything down to do this batch. Fingers crossed!

Just knocked this one out this afternoon: Eye Pee, Eh? :mug: One Gallon batch Brew Method: Extract Style Name: American IPA Boil Time: 20 min Batch Size: 1 gallons Boil Size: 1.4 gallons Efficiency: 70% STATS: Original Gravity: 1.080 Target Final Gravity: 1.021 ABV (standard)...

Finally forced myself to take some time to bottle! It doesn't look like much, but it was a five gallon batch on the nose, and I used 22 oz bottles. All packed away and not to be seen again until at least mid-November. The unboxed oddballs will be testers after at least a month of bottle...

Great! Any idea what the shipping for the chiller would be to 78758?

Did the chiller go with the coils?

I'm interested in the wort chiller if it is indeed a full 25'... I say this only 'cos AHS sells their 20' chiller with hoses for $60. :) What are the connection fittings? How much to ship to 78758?

Just finished this: Widmer Brothers Raspberry Russian Imperial Stout '12. Damn.

I see eyes looking back at me from within your carboy. :drunk: That's creepy...

I ended up going with this one: http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_27749_-1?Ntt=propane+stand&Ntk=All The round top fits perfectly within the bottom skirt of a 15.5-gallon keg. I had to cut out the centers of the 3 v-shaped supports so the keg would sit...

This thread reminded me of this Basic Brewing video I watched awhile back: http://www.basicbrewing.com/index.php?page=october-26-2011-melon-blood

You might want to give some details as to what style/recipe you've brewed, especially what type of yeast was used. The more experienced folks here will be eager to help, but they'll need some info in order to give feedback :mug:

Here's my AHS St. Arnold Fancy Lawnmower Weedwacker clone, just officially deemed "highly drinkable" by my wife today!

And here we are, folks, THE PAYOFF!

Cut out the center of the propane stand supports today. It now fits perfectly under the bottom skirt of the keg which places the burner about ~5"–6" from the bottom of the vessel. Got about 5.5 gallons of water to a full boil in about 23 minutes! I would never boil wort with the gas flow that...

Finally got some time to put a pickup tube together... The first couple of joints soldered fine, but for the life of me, I couldn't get the last joint coming out of the 45˚elbow to stick for nuthin'. I went thru two elbows trying to get it to work until my patience ran out and I used JB...
