Anderson Valley is another good one

Look on the MoreBeer website in the thermometer section and you will find them. They don't come with the kettles. If you are using yours as a mash tun I would get the longer stem thermometer.

:rockin: Damn, I finally was able to complete my gravity fed All-Grain system...Came home Friday to see something very interesting in the mail. I go to night school after work and applied for this Home Depot scholarship months ago that I completely forgot about. Well, I got a $500 check for my...

The two pots that you have links to are indeed the same. Tri-clad bottoms are not necessary for brewing although if you were using one of these for a mash tun I believe it could help with more uniform temps through the grainbed. There is not any scorching issues if you got a kettle without the...

Lagunitas has been one of my favorite breweries for years and I like and appreciate that they can make so many different beers and carry on with a simularity of taste in all of them. I prefer there higher gravity offering's over the regular 6 pack varieties but if a brewery could define...

I am going to Asheville with my wife and two year old for a long weekend next week. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to go for great beer? We will be staying in the downtown area. I've never been to Asheville before but know there is some good brews around. Thanks for the...

I have on order a SS dip tube for my kettle that will pick up most all of the wort and leave the trub behind via whirlpool method. Check out Bargain fittings or brewershardware for there diptubes.

Until I get a dedicated HLT I am going to be using this kettle to heat my strike and sparge water therefore I need to have accurate temps to get my numbers right. I also saw ther thermowell from brewershardware that would work and it has a heat shield. It is also like 25 bucks more than the...

I am in need of a thermowell for my kettle. I was wondering if anyone that uses digital probes and thermowells for there vessels could tell me if this one would work. http://www.coleparmer.com/catalog/product_view.asp?sku=9043381 I am using a propane burner so I do not know if there would...

Okay....Not sure if I am a DUMB*** or if this thermometer is a piece of crap. I just received in the mail a Fermentap thermometer for my brew kettle. I've tried calibrating it over and over again to several different temps using a digital thermometer that I have. Seems like I am doing...

:off: Someone correct me if I am wrong but I was under the assumption that refractometers can only measure the gravity correctly before fermentation takes place.

Amen to that!!!! :mug:

LME-Liquid Malt Extract DME-Dried Malt Extract I've put into practice on my primary time what many have suggested doing on this site. Let your primary fermenter sit for 3-4 weeks then rack to bottle bucket. Since I've been doing that, my beers have been much cleaner...And with no...

I think that your fermentation is finished. Malt extract finishes at a higher FG than all grain or if you were to supplement some sugar for extract. I don't believe that you need more yeast to properly carb up but it wouldn't hurt anything if you do. Definatly let the bottles sit and mellow.

It is damn fun and damn addictive to!!!! It is very possible to make commercial quality beer homebrewing. There is just a learning curve and of course the big M word involved. The more you get into it the more you want to do it and spend money on it. A great F'ing vicious cylce.:D Try it!!!

I'm a locksmith for Delta Airlines and it is freakin hot today is Atlanta!!!!:cross:

Have you checked to see if fermentation is complete? It should be but only one way to tell. (GRAVITY) Anyways, if your fermentation stayed around 68 through the coversion process you should probably be okay. 77 degrees is not an absurdly high temperature for a completed beer to sit for a...

Just a heads up...I struggled with quite a few batches using a regular racking cane. What I mean by struggled is that I would loose siphon a couple times during the racking and would have to restart the suction each time I lost it. This was very frustrating and a big pain. It is VERY worth it...

I wish I could help out a bit more on the recipe. Please post how it turns out if you brew it. Monks Revenge goes down like an 8%er. Way to easy to drink...Delicious to. I've thought about trying to clone it as well. Good luck to you!!!

Good Stuff!!!! I had a feeling that was overblown...Anyways, I know how them little munchkins can take up pretty much all of your free time for a long long long time. Have fun brewing away. :mug:
