That's impressive you can still type after being canned almost 6 months ago!

I just paid almost 18 dollars for a 6 pack with 15% off. It was a mixed pack from my LHBS, all 12 or 16 ounce cans of fresh IPAs from the Pacific NW.

If you're priming the keg why do you need a spunding valve? Just add the appropriate amount of sugar to achieve your desired CO2 volume.

If you limited yourself to a 3500W element you could use this PID https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WD6X17V/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Actually that's only rated for 12 amps at 240v. I think all the other Inkbirds are rated at 10 amps at 240v.

This is the cheapest 240v controller I've seen: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K5KB3DS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

If you have the option to go 240V I would do it. Even brewing 3 gallon batches a 110V 1500W element feels underwhelming.

If you have any wooden beams in the ceiling you should be able to hook an eyehole in there to put a pulley up on brew days. I let my grain bag hang over the pot for ~25 minutes while letting the wort come to a boil. By the time I pull my bag it's pretty dry. I'll throw the bag into a 5 gallon...

eBIAB would be the cheapest. You can use a pulley to help pull the bag and gravity to move your liquid into the fermentation vessel. Controllers can be found for under $300, when it comes down to it a PID isn't needed if you do everything manually. If you already have a kettle seek out local...

Very happy with how this brew turned out

American IPA with Simcoe and Amarillo hops fermented with Imperial A30 Corporate

Going to try brewing a kolsch style beer today.

I use a fermwrap but just have it inside the chamber instead of hooked up to a carboy.

The IPA I made using A30 got kegged last night and burst carbonated at 30psi @ 34°F (the same temperature I crashed this at so it was already around this.) The hydrometer sample showed this yeast fermented to 84% AA. Even after a 24 hour cold crash and a day in the keg there's a good deal of...

Double post

Hop forward American styles are changing so rapidly any published book is going to have a shelf life of a few years. It wasn't that long ago that 1-2 ounces of dryhops were considered to be appropriate for American IPAs. Since then Pliney-like West Coast IPAs, New England IPAs, and now Brut...

You won't be disappointed with this one. 11.0 lbs Pale 2-row 1.5 lbs White Wheat Malt 0.5 lbs Victory 1 ounce Nugget @ 60m 1 ounce Citra @ 5m 1 ounce Mosaic @ 5m 1.5 ounce Citra @ 0m 1.5 ounce Mosaic @ 0m 1.5 ounce Citra @ dryhop 1.5 ounce Mosaic @ dryhop Mash @ 150°F for 60m. Ferment with...

You need a tighter bung :D

Irish Red Ale

5765 gallons + 5 gallons American IPA = 5770 gallons (186.13 barrels!)

With the proper amount of healthy yeast pitched into well made, oxygenated wort most ales shouldn't take any longer than 7 days to finish as long as it isn't a bigger style (DIPA, RIS, etc.). Some Belgian yeasts also require longer fermentation times. You may also need additional time for...
