I dont really see you breaking 5% abv with that recipe unless you got it below 1.010... but it still sounds like a mighty refreshing beer!

Well I can tell you my first lager was a Marzen and it flew off my shelves. I was getting sick of PAs for a minute, and needed something malty. Pretty simple recipe with just munich and noble hops.

I have one of these m3 monster bottles. 5 oz. Would kinda suck though to drink that many monster shots. :ban:

Now thats what I'm talking about! I just put a 5 year old blue oyster culture on a petri dish the other day with intentions of doing something similar. Its probably too old to work, but who knows? Guess I could always take a tissue sample off a store bought mushroom... I usually just compost...

Or a paintball shop! some of the refill systems require hoses rated at over 6000psi Not sure why you need full pressure for your system however...

Take more gravity readings before and during boil? Have some dme when your under, take some wort out and add water if your over. In the famous words of Jesse Pinkman: "Its all about the weight, yo!" Ah, but volumes... >_< finding out the boiloff rate for your kettle can do wonders..

Did you end up using that reclaimed wort for a starter or for bottling? A couple times before I've reclaimed some wort from the hop/cold break material left in the kettle, although I haven't taken it far enough to siphon clear wort out of a carboy. I think I ended up using this wort for yeast...

I "cap" my bottles with a piece of foil and autoclave them . This way whenever I have 30 min free I can fire up the autoclave and sterilize my bottles/starters whatever, and keep them around for a while. Come bottle time, remove foil cap and save for reuse. Apply beer and real cap. My guess...

You could do the same, cover the pot surface with straw or mulch. That will provide some nice insulation over the winter. Or you could just bring the pot in the garage once you start seeing freezing temperatures.

I had a bubbly cider naturally carbed to 4 vols in 22oz. A couple ended up bottle bombs but the ones that didn't stayed fine for years. I'm pondering using coke bottles to carb my orval clone... i figure soda/pop is usually carbed pretty high. Can't remove their label without paint thinners...

at my local restaurant supply shop: 42qt stainless with ss fryer basket (biab anyone?) for $80 before tax

until b3 sends my goodies out, idle mash paddle. Hmmm, i could get some starters and cultures going this weekend... does that count as brewing? :D

Your tank was probably at the end of Hydro... sounds routine. :confused:

Hey guys I'm new to these forums, but not new to brewing! I have at least 20 ag brews under my belt from brewing off and on for 7 years, and recently got back into it again. I'm a little more interested now in yeast, grain flavors, and hop varieties in all aspects of bittering, flavoring and...
