Awesome... Welcome to the club! I'm from the south burbs as well. Words of advice... Have fun with it. Practice makes perfect. No matter how well you prepare there is gonna be times you may struggle, but don't worry, the beer will still turn out great. I'm guessing your doing a extract kit?

It had extremely low attenuation. Didn't finish up the beer. It sat in the Primary for 4 weeks and only reached a F.G. of 1.026. My thermometers were all calibrated, my mash temps were dead on, my O.G. Was spot on, I pitched the correct amount of yeast per mr. Malty, they sat in a...

I only had one batch of yeast give me problems.... Nottingham. Never again!

I order mostly everything threw them. They have great customer service, good prices, and timely delivery. I just ordered Sunday night and it was on my doorstep Tuesday morning. When I ordered my burners for my AG setup I had some questions that got mixed answers on here. Called up AIH...

If you are asking this, you need to get a licensed electrician to wire it up for you.

I'm in Alsip.... Not far from ya's!

Nope.... Took my final gravity reading with my hydrometer. Just picked up a refractometer Recently. I didn't realize alcohol affects the reading with a refractometer. I guess I need to do some reading.

Just to follow up on this... It has been over 5 weeks conditioning in the bottle at 70* and haven't had one bottle bomb yet. Cracked one today and took a Gravity Reading with my refractometer out of curiosity. It have a gravity of 1.033.... Before priming sugar was added it was at 1.028...

I agree 100%. I order almost everything from them. They are a great company!

Here's the recipe out of Clone Brews..... I brewed this at the beginning of the year and it seems to be spot on! Bass Ale Clone Style: English Pale Ale O.G. 1.052-1.053 F.G. 1.012-1.013 IBU 37 SRM 13-14 ABV 5% Yield: 5 Gallons Grain: 9lbs British 2-row pale malt 14oz British crystal malt...

Sprinkler fitter. Fire protection.

15 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter 4lbs Flaked Barley 2lbs Roasted Barley The funny thing is I divided the 10 gallon batch into 2 6gallon carboys. Pitched 2 packets of Nottingham in each and got the same exact reading of 1.028 in both carboys. I just opened a bottle and it's almost carb'd to my...

Would the viscosity of the wort change the reading? This was a somewhat thick syrup type wort. Once they carbonate to my liking, would refrigerating the whole batch stop the yeast from working and carbonating the beer? I would definitely place them in some sort of container in the fridge...

Yup.... I think our mash temp was 151*F (I don't have the recipe in front of me). I know my thermometer was correct and we held our temps within a degree the whole mash. I know my hydrometer is correct. I tested it after taking my reading. I guess the lesson learned is take gravity...

We brewed our 3rd batch of All-Grain 3 weeks ago. It's a Guinness Clone that was posted here. We hit all our Temps perfectly at dough in. Didn't have to adjust temps at all. We got a efficiency of 80% and pitched 4 packages of Nottingham yeast for a 10gallon batch (2 in each 6gallon carboy)...

Sp10 will work just fine. I use them on my single tier rig and I can get 12 gallons into a boil in no time.

Southside here! Alsip.... I grab most my stuff from Bev Art on Western.

+ 10 gallons Bass Ale Clone + 10 gallons Guinness Clone Homemade Black and Tans! Total 2145

The sparge is what I was getting confused on. I would imagine that amount will vary based on my equipment? Dead spaces and such..... I'm gonna attempt to punch this into beersmith and convert it to a 10gal batch and see how it goes. This will be my first time constructing a recipe in...

Forgive me.... I'm new to Promash recipes... I don't understand how much water to use? No matter how I add it up, it doesn't come out right.... Can someone explain? Thanks in advance Mash Schedule ------------- Mash Type: Single Step Grain Lbs: 5.50 Water Qts: 7.43 - Before Additional...
