HI all, After a beer is bottled (and carbed) what is the best way to store it? Should I put as many as possible in the fridge, keep them in the cool basement? What are your thoughts?

Also, isnt it ok to steep at 170? Can anyone see any problems with steeping in the oven?

Ive noticed that recently as well, i wonder why? If you calculate based on the boil volume in their recipes it ends up at like Half the IBUs they say it is.

Im not worried about it hitting the flame, i worried about it turning into burnt tar that I have to clean off of the burner. Maybe ill try out the metal tray version.

Thanks again!

Im thinking of replacing the LME with DME thanks to your thread! What yeast did it come with. I have to buy the ingredients seperately.

If i put a layer of tin foil between my brew kettle and propane burner stand will it light on fire? I am thinking of doing this so that the boil overs will drip on to the foil instead of my burner..

I was looking at getting that kit this week. Do you think it has anything to do with the black petent malt? What kind/brand of yeast came with it?

what kit did you make?

Oh, see i thought it was supposed to stay close to 160 the whole time. I am currently steeping on the stove and the temp does fluctuate. So you can just let the bag sit, i thought you were supposed to bob it up and down the whole time.

How come you say to turn off the oven? Do you leave the lid on it?

Thats exactly the problem I have!

Is it possible to steep grains in the oven? It seems like it would be simple to heat some water in a pot to 160, add the grains and then put the oven timer on 30 minutes. After that, just strain the water into the brew pot. I know steeping is not difficult but I can never maintain the...

Awesome that is what Im looking for.

Not sure if this would fit better in the AG thread or not. My question is, are there certain malts that sub best for certain grains when converting an AG recipe to Extract. I know some grains can steep and some not. But im thinking more like "muntons light DME is the best sub for two...

Awesome! I have the book so thank you for pointing that out. I read the section about grains about 1 year ago and forgot it because I do extract kits mostly.

Hey All, Can anyone point me to a list of grains that can and cant be steeped. This way I can convert AG recipes to extract or PM. If I need to. Thanks in advance!

I look forward to finding ouT!!

Did you use that recipe with a 5 gallon boil?

Anyone have any idea?
