How long did you do this for?

Hi Everyone, I want to clear up my APA before it goes into the bottles. My issue is that I do not have a fridge to cold crash in. Just my trusty 50 gallon rubbermade bin. What would you suggest as far as getting the temp down? I am assuming it would be lots of ice and draining the water...

I have a edwords haus ale in the swamp cooler right now. I checked the temp this morn and it was at 57 degrees. I am using safale us-05. Is this temp to low? Is my yeast going to do dormant or die out at this temp?

Hi everyone, hope someone is up late like me. I am brewing the Haus Ale and need a little assistance. I have: 6.5 lbs of extra pale LME 1 lb crystal 10 2 lbs Munich(LHBS didnt have Vienna) 2 oz cascade at what temp should I add in the munich and crystal. The are in muslin...

I will have to give that a try next time. I tried to use goo-gone and it just made everything in my kitchen stink like gasoline and oranges.

Really sucks..... Luckily I have a Case of Dog Fish Head 90 min IPA to make it all better. My first brew is going in the bottles in t-minus 25 clean bottles wish me luck!! Suddy

I stirred the wort and used a measuring cup to splash it from about 3 feet. I most likely didnt aerate it enough though.

Hi Everyone, When I brewed my first batch 2 weeks ago I used distilled water (thinking I wanted the purest possible). After doing some research I have found the the brew needs minerals and salts to be healthy. I had a vigorous fermentation during the first 36 hours then it died down quickly...

well you won't have an air tight seal to keep the baddies out after the CO2 flow stops/slows. I would highly recommend that you either fish out the old seal (that might not be fully sterilized, thus harboring baddies) or go buy a new seal from your home brew supplier. If it was me I would fish...

I would sanitize a spoon and fish it out that way. RDWHAHB! Suddy :mug:

As soon as i can get a house with a basement/garage I will do something like this. Right now I have an outside attached storage building that is 5x5 to work with. I also have a shed that is 12x10 (Dutch Barn) that is filled to the brim with useless crap that I have wanted to get rid of for...

Is the cooler in your pic the 60 or 70 qt? edit: after viewing the label...I can see that it is the 60.....and I didn't even drink tonight.

I am a bartender on the weekends. So, I do have access to some bottles, mostly twist offs. Now if I could only get people to improve their taste in beer........ I am going to make it my mission to push some sam adams this weekend.:mug:

Where did you find the 70 qt version? I know I saw a few similar coolers at the Bubba-mart. I am off to investigate in t-minus 1hr 12 min.:rockin:

I think I am going to pick up one of those igloo coolers after work. Can you just take a dremel tool to the original lid? Or will I need to fabricate a new lid from foam like Yooper? I really want to pick up a small fridge or freezer and convert it to a keezer. Space is at a premium in my...

I wish I had a basement! My parents have a huge basement that i can use. It stays cooler that the rest of the house. I was considering moving my brew operations there if I had to (to the pleasure of my brother).:drunk:

Is there any issues with using these types of bottles with my capper? Suddy

so if my beer was over 80 and smells like a banana is it screwed?

Thats a good idea!
