Still have?

Thanks RPIScotty, I definitely will!

Looks like I have some deciding to do. Seeing how I've never made a starter before and have had numerous good beers come out ok, I'm more inclined to do a small "shaken" starter a la RPIScotty for my first one. Especially since I been 5 gallon batches. Thanks to everyone for all of their input.

RPIScotty what is your recipe and method for the starter wort - how much dme and how long to boil? I've read where you put foil over the top and shake it a few times a day for 3-5 days.

Thanks for all of the replies! Care to elaborate on the pure 02 system?

I've seen this calculator before. How do you determine your O. G. before brew day? Do you use the estimated O. G. provided in MA y kits instructions? Also, how do you determine the pitch rate?

I've never before used a yeast starter and have read much about the positive advantages of using one. With that being said, are all starters the same? Is there a good "recipe" out there to use every time? I don't have a stir plate, so I would like to do one manually. My next brew is a zombie...

What new models will accept 2 kegs? Seems like most of the models i've seen people on here us (Sanyo, Frigidaire, Danby) are now discontinued. Please help! Thanks

Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on what the best fridge is to convert into a 2 tap tower kegorator. By best, I mean minimal cutting on the inside to fit 2 corny kegs and CO2 bottle. I'd like to do as little modification as possible (aside from the tower install) . Also, what is...

No issues with aeration using this method? How do you attach it to the outlet hose?

So I tried the panty hose on the end of my auto siphon method, and as soon as I pumped the cane to initiate siphoning, the panty hose came off. I cut a 4" x 4" piece of panty hose and put it over the inlet of the siphon and secured it with a zip tie. Apparently it wasn't tight enough. Anyone...

Thanks!

Yeah, that was auto correct. Meant to put Wyeast

Brewed 2 weeks ago, and I'm at 1.028. Sounds like I may need to raise the temperature up to 70 degrees and give it another week. Thoughts?

Looking to move my NB chocolate milk stout to secondary on with my nibs/vodka extract. Before doing so, I'm going to take a gravity reading to see where it sits. Anyone have any experience with this kit? My O.G. was 1.060 (directions said should be 1.051), and they don't mention a good F.G...

Judging by just the name, I already like heady nugs!

Just as the title says - what is your favorite IPA extract kit? Looking to do some brewing over the holidays and need some input. Thanks!

Thanks BlueHouse! Can vanilla extract be added? If not, where do you buy vanilla beans?
