Ok, I've looked into it and the d**n undercounter designs are three to four hundred dollars more. Dorm fridges that I have looked at don't have clearance for a corny keg. Any Ideas to save myself the extra funds and get the kegerator installed, I'm beginning to hate bottles. LOL. My Idea...

I am doing a Hoegaarden Clone I am a partial masher, with full volume boil. how late can I add the DME to keep coloring down? Brewing in the morning any input is appreciated

I brew almost every Monday. Will do Tuesday this week. I worked my Ass off last week, Brewed one, Bottled one , racked one. Didn't want to do that all in the same day this week.

Thanks Chief that may definitely be an option.:mug: The chillers @ my LHBS are about the same price you said.

I am still fairly new to the home brew game. I am on my 9th Batch of brew my 5th Partial Mash. What type of Chiller is best; I brew 5 gal batches once a week. Right now I am Immersing the pot in cold water and Ice to cool it down. I need something faster but not too costly. What do you guys...

LOL, thanks. I have only heard it talked about not written:) . Cool That what I'll do then! BTW I am making the exact same beer again.

I think that is what it is called when you pitch a fresh batch of wort on the yeast cake from a previous primary fermentation. I am brewing the same Fullers ESB recipe on this coming Monda and could Save myself 5 or so bucks by reusing the yeast cake from this batch of ESB. How should I go about...

I haven't even finished reading this thread; you r :rockin: I have not graduated to AG yet. I am always busy and make time to brew. but 3 in one day:ban: My hat is off to you my friend!:mug: As you can see by my Sig I could use a 3 in 1 day. I am pissed that I have no brew and have to buy some...

I would use them in the compost or in a grain bread. I plan to buy a bread machine in a few weeks. Still shopping around didn't know there were so d#$n many!:D

I may have to try that it sounds pretty cool and like it may work just great for my PM recipes!:ban:

1. How important might it be that I get a cold break? I usually Ice my pot in the bathtub until I get down to 70-75 degrees. But I am just starting to read more on break removal and the like. I ladled the cool wort through cheese cloth. 1a. Should I siphon this into the carboy, after the...

I usually only taste the wort after chilling it. So I guess I can't speak on the flavor before hops additions. Maybe you only noticed the harshness because it was such a huge change from your previous sampling. ? are you using a stainless steel pot. Only asked because Aluminium will react to...

Ok, so you are correct I did a 2.5gal boil. I am using a 16qt pot. I have been putting off getting an even larger pot because of the expense. All the pots larger than 20qt have been pretty pricey. Are there any suppliers you guys might suggest for the purchase of a 32 qt or larger kettle?

My Cream Ale is supposed to be a 5.2 SRM but it looks more like a 7 or 8. It was looking fine up until about 30min into the boil. Did I boil on too high a heat and thus introduce more color or is this a natural thing and it will lighten later. Ingredients: Dextrine Malt Honey Malt Flaked...

Though I am not the most experienced brewer I am an experienced Chef. Aromatics when used should be left for the last few minutes of boiling. 10 min would be fine for everything but the Vanilla; that should be left for the secondary fermentor or when racking @ bottling. I made a Holiday ale...
