HOw much does it cost to make a keggle?

Hey all, would a 36 qt pot be big enough for all grain? I am doing extract now but will do all grain eventually. Im looking to get a big pot but want to start out with the right size for when i go AG. Also, where do you get your equipment as far as kettles?

Awesome, what do you all use in the water for sanitation. I have star san in it but its getting cloudy and based on another thread I started here it seems that may mean it is bad. I also have easy clean by ld carlson and bleach. Should I switch out the water?

You are not a fan of the airlock I see. Do you think a blow off tube is just as safe?

I just brewed a batch yesterday and everything went so well it was kinda concerning (minus a turkey fryer boil over!). I attached a blow off hose to the primary because last time I made this beer it needed one. Here is my question, I know fermentation can take days to start. Should i put...

Is that smell sort of like pee. That is what it smells like to me.. Maybe im weird.

So if my solution is greenish does that mean it came in contact with soap? I take it that it is bad then.

CAn i leave a solution of star san in a spray bottle for a few days. This way i can spray it on anything I need or open the bottle and dump some out to use. Im going to put some in the spray bottle anyway so i was wondering how long it can sit. Thanks!

Even if I pitch 2 vials? Still havent decided im just getting all the different angles.

Actually, that was the same kit I did for my first batch. It only bubbled for about 3 days and then ceased.

Ill step up and see it through to completion if you dont want it. :ban:

Dude you are screwed! I did that same thing and my fermenter exploded all over the place the next day!! Just playing, it will be fine! And i know im a jerk.:cross:

Awesome, thanks! By the way I dont have to brew tomorrow, I WANT to! And it fits my schedule. Just to clarify.

Then let me ask you this. I have to brew tomorrow and would have to make the starter tonight. So it would be about 18-24 hours before pitching. Is that enough time for it to be beneficial?

Spit as in spitting on me?

It is an Anchor liberty clone from AHB with starting gravity of 1.62.

AH, good point, my spelling is atrocious some times. I used to also think a muslin bag was a muslim bag. Whooops!

Thats a good point. I thought about that but the vile cost me 6 dollars and its been sitting in my fridge. The starter id have to buy more malt and spend a decent amount of time making the starter and sanitizing. I just want to make sure there is no ill effect by using two of the same...
