28,031 + another 5 gallons of Yooper's Dogfish Head 60-minute IPA clone = 28,036

$59 for 50# unmilled Brewer's 2-row from the LHBS 10 minutes away. Ick. I can almost get 50# of Rahr *shipped* from Rebel Brewer for that.

Gross. Although I guess it's best not to throw stones; it is homebrewing, after all.

Um, what? You have a recipe for a good-tasting, 9.5% abv beer that only runs $6 for six gallons? And you haven't shared it in this thread? Are you trying to torture us?

That is fantastic news! Looking forward to better and better versions of this.

Also, BierMuncher's Cream of Three Crops cream ale. Crisp, tasty, and under $20.

I'm considering brewing this eventually, but I've got a few questions. First of all, it's just 2 ounces each of the caramel malts, right? Also, I don't think I can get CaraRed at my LHBS; would Munich be a decent substitute? And how about Nottingham instead of 1056? I absolutely love...

It's been about three weeks since the crash cool, humann. What's the latest? I am very interested in this recipe.

Dang. What's your LHBS? Are you near a brewery or something?

Right now I'm drinking a batch of Orfy's Mild-Mannered Ale, which is cheap but has a great flavor. I used 6.0 lbs Marris Otter, 1.5 lbs crystal 60L and 5 ounces of chocolate malt, mash at 158F for 60 minutes, 1 oz. Fuggles @ 45 and another ounce at 15. Total cost under $25.

Not with beer in it, you can't! Ah, you keggers just don't understand.... :drunk:

I don't know. I keep a bucket of OxyClean and just drop in bottles when I'm done drinking them and then empty it every couple of weeks. The next time I drink one of these, I'll just soak it in tap water overnight to see what happens to the label. I'll let you know how things go.

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. PET is pretty inert, and if it claims respectable temperature rating, I'd definitely go for it. I really hated working with the SS braid on my MLT and eventually replaced it with a hand-me-down (i.e. "free") KettleScreen, which I've been happy...

I was at Costco in Austin the other day, and in the beer aisle I spotted a case of Kirkland Signature "Handcrafted Lagers and Ales". (Kirkland is Costco's store brand.) The whole case was only $18.99, so I thought, "How bad could it be?" Turns out the answer is "not bad at all!" The...

Okay, that all makes perfect sense. I actually picked up an extra copper "washer" when I was getting the rest of the parts, so I think I'm good to go. Thanks to all three of you! -g-

I've finally assembled all the parts (I think) to build my electric HLT in a 10-gallon Rubbermaid cooler. I've got a 120V 1500W element. However, before I get too far into this, I've got a question. What do I do with the ground wire? I'm planning to do like The Pol and connect the black...

19,602 + 5 gallons BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde (first all-grain batch!) + 5 gallons EdWort's Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale + 5 gallons Austin Homebrew Supply's Dos Equis special lager clone (first lager!) + 5 gallons YooperBrew's Dogfish Head 60-minute IPA clone + 5 gallons...

I just might do that. I'll PM you asking for directions if I decide to go that route. Thanks!

Hey, welcome! Austin Homebrew is a great shop. The guys there have never steered me wrong or tried to sell me something I didn't need, and the prices are great. I just wish they'd crush their grains a little finer; I need to get a barley crusher because my efficiency sucks and I think my...

So you just dump the hot wort straight/unfiltered into a US Plastics container, wait a couple of days for it to cool, and then transfer into the regular fermenter? And you chill the carboy by putting it in a refrigerator or something so the gunk will settle out before pouring? -g-
