you have to figure about 30% cheaper for all grain. so say 25 for an all grain +/- 5 dollars depending on dry/liquid yeast. And, 35 for extract, again varies for yeast. but, the bulk for individual orders on all grain might contribute to much higher freight charges compared to extract in its...

if it is chilling too much pump faster and reduce the flow of water through the garden hose... also, if you don't want to use co2/o2 to push it out, once you are done just unhook the water and lift and left gravity drain it in the fermenter. works fine for my plate chiller and worked fine when i...

Call Brew Brothers. They can get you great prices on that stuff. and they are the cheapest anywhere and are relatively close by comparison to any of the online vendors. They ship anywhere. www.brewbrothers.biz

I'm Game... I have probably 4-5 beers I can bring samples of.

it's often not about skill... its a matter of near impossibility. A brewer in NY brews a great beer and a brewer in CA trys said beer and wants to clone it (Heck someone from across the county). It is pretty much impossible for an exact clone. Water variations, temp variations, sources of hops...

electric is more cost effective. instead of 15.00 for a brewday's worth of propane it's like a few dollars at most. I know quite a few guys who say it costs them less than a buck. Not to mention it is super cool and different

Check a local indoor garden shop/hydroponic store... They often do fills or exchanges in 20# varieties.

sounds to me you have the dreaded but common ailment I call ihaven'tbrewedenoughitis. Also, according to my math you have 18 beers that are not reserved for the soon to be mommy. I suggest you pick up enough supplies for 4-5 batches and start brewing! oh and start polishing off those 18 soldiers...

I'd suggest Brew Brothers. I would bet they'd be happy to accommodate some sampling. and exchange we could just do as we leave. I can ask if that is the place we choose. Unfortunately, Breweries are probably out of the question, but home brew shops would be a good idea in my mind. Maybe, U-Brew...

Couldn't you just mash as regular but add a good amount of amylase? I mean I have don't that with potatoes to force conversion...? not sure on this but figured it probably would work?

look at the forum for DIY projects... They have plenty of examples of people who have done the same of similar. ANd, IMO if you are spending 2300 on a stand, I'd look at going electric.

Don't worry about it. let it do it's thing, then take a gravity reading in a couple weeks. if it's a bit high, let the temp get hot again in there and see if it drops the grav a bit. Relax, have a home brew :-)

Brewbothers.biz is pretty much the Cheapest out there in from my experience. They also have a far larger selection of grains than anyone local for me, and I live in Portland... They also let you have a "grain Ledger" which allows you to buy a 50lb bag of say 2 row for example for 29.99 and have...

I'll also have an Flanders red and something we'll call an old ale... ;-)

CAMO XXX !!! and I think there is a ICE version that is worse! http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/881/4683 it is rather funny beer advocate actually has a review of this lol

you discover purgatory is in fact a great place to find new, different, and CHEAP yeast! & Develop a love affair with anything stainless steel

There is a lot to do and see at the Beach if you haven't been... But, if your sole purpose is to drive there, tour, then drive back... don't go. The Portland area has so many breweries that you can tour and have just a good, often times better beer. I'd make sure to check out Upright brewery and...

try gelatin if you think that it is something you can remove from your beer. (^cold crash) I have a friend who says the same thing about McMenamins beer here in Portland. I've never figured it out... (he's a home brewer as well)

Double wide IPA, ruthless rye,Kingpin, youngs chocolate stout, and stone's IPA isn't too bad. lots of beers not a lot of great ones though. Depends on what you like. those 4 are pretty good though. Great waitress outfits there though!

interesting eval... I had the exact opposite impression. I felt the Elder was delicious yet more of a hop kick in the mouth a little lighter in mouthfeel and less pronounced hop flavor and bitterness. While Younger was maltier and the hops almost gradually built on your palate
