I've made a couple of chocolate stouts from recipes I found here, this one was my favorite: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/andes-mint-chocolate-stout-207277/ As far as the cocoa powder and chocolate, a little bit goes a long way. I used 4 oz for a 2.5gallon batch, and it was a bit...

I've used a similar recipe, everyone who's tried it has begged me to make some for them. 4 lbs White Wheat 4 lbs 2-Row 1 oz Williamette @ 60 1oz Cascade @ 15 3 lbs Wildflower Honey @ 2 Edit: I also used US-05 yeast. I went with 2 weeks @ 65, bottled with Cooper's Carb Drops, and was...

I do tech support for internal employees at a large bank. I've heard a million crazy stories about beer drenched laptops, keys magically falling off in the middle of typing, all sorts of wacky stuff. What makes me laugh is the big shot bankers that can't perform simple tasks or pronounce...

Looks good, I'll give it a try this week.

Looks great, just need an action video!

I run it under very hot water for a minute or two when the tubing gets pushed on a little too far or gets stuck. Also trying to twist the tubing helps to break it loose without trashing the siphon tube.

I bought 2 of these back in September for $25/each. Working great for me so far, have been used on stove-top all-grain brews around 6-8 times. I drilled one for a 1/2" ball valve.

I've also been making similar styles and just racking on top of the yeast, saves some money!

Is there a list of what's available at what price?

I've been doing 2.5 gallon all-grains for the last few, it lets me drink them quicker and I get to brew/experiment more often. Go for it!

Brewed an Amber Ale today. First time I hit my desired mash temp, OG, and 75% efficiency - very stoked to taste this one! 1927 + 2.5 = 1929.5

I found this past weekend, that my temps weren't quite right in my keezer. The bottom was getting down to 30*F while the top where my temp controller probe was closer to 40. After I bottled the last bit so I could swap another keg in, I found the bottom was a big hunk of ice. After adjusting...

I've been doing all-grain 2.5 gallon batches since I can't do a full 6.5gallon boil on my apartment stove. Lets me brew more often to try different styles. Equipment is pretty minimal for me. I have a 8gallon kettle w/ ball valve that i use for the HLT and for boil, 10gal rubbermaid MT, and a...

My favorite extract was the Norther Brewer American Wheat w/ 3lbs Wildflower Honey added @5 min. It was ready fast - 2 weeks primary, bottled w/ cooper's carb drops, very tasty after only 1 week in bottle.

Yes, store them upright in the fridge. If you lay them down, you'll have a stripe of yeast down the side of the bottle instead of setting at the bottom.

I've made about 15 Mr Beer batches, and used their yeast every time. Never rehydrated or made a starter with them. Sometimes they were a little slow to take off, up to 2-3 days. The only packet I ever had that was dead, I had kept in a drawer next to my oven for 6 months. If you see nothing...

Great idea with the elbow, I will have to investigate that for my brewpot!

Just read through this whole thread today, that place looks awesome!! Now let's see some build pics of the brew setup :D

Didn't know I was supposed to receive a sticker. EDIT: Just checked the mail from yesterday and guess what was there!

Nice remote, where did you find it?
