Yep, decided not to use extra hops. I'll post updates as they come along.

My basement typically runs in the low 70s. Which is probably a little in the warm side.

Here's what I ended up doing: 1.5 lbs 2 row - mashed 60 min, boiled till hot break 1 can Mr Beer oktoberfest 9 Oz brown sugar (allot of people seen to use that w this recipe, do I figured why not?) I used the Mr beer yeast, but re-hydrated it. I hit about 1.040 og, lower than I wanted, but...

My s 05 comes in 11.5 Oz packs. I tried 2 oz, and 4oz and got the same results - gushing out just like his. I guess one gallon carboys just don't have enough head space....

Looks just like mine do!!! I was starting to think I was doing something wrong! So I just use a blow off tube. Then, I took some hook up wire with a piece of paper towel on the end so that I could clean out the gunk in the tube. But anyways, glad to see this thread. I like the one gallon...

Hey everyone, I have an empty Mr Beer keg and a can of oktoberfest - this needs to change. I want to make some modifications to the recipe to get rid of the booster. I have the following ingredients available: Gains: American 2 row Caramel 10, 20 & 60 chocolate malt Aromatic malt Victory malt...

I've been trying to find ways to save water as well, not exactly do to cost (water is cheap) but also for conservational reasons and my future development of an auto brew system. Why couldn't you rescue an old radiator of some sort (car, junkyard...) Hook your copper wort chiller onto it with...
