I have the non-triple ply Bayou (#1064). It's my only kettle (I BIAB) and it's done me good for over 2 years.

Similar in construction (but lacking some of features) to the pot I've been brewing in the last couple years. The complaint people seem to have with these Bayou pots is the thin construction, but I've been pretty happy with mine.

Not really obsessing, but I would like a new burner. When I bought my $40 burner from Academy I just looked at the BTUs, declared them adequate and said "heat is heat" with a shrug. 25 or so brews later on that burner and I'm suspecting that that is not in fact the case.

Looks like you solved your problem, but I was about to suggest the low-tech solution of bringing the fermenter inside.

And as an additional note: I always use a hops bag for boil additions (but not dry hop) and I've never strained going into or coming out of the fermenter.

I think everybody else answered most of your questions, but regarding the Irish Moss... The point of Irish Moss is to get the smaller particles to stick to the larger bits of moss (which then settles out of the wort). It's maximally effective if it can circulate through the wort, usually during...

It is a very special gas station, indeed. Offerings from Lone Pint, Jester King, Adleberts, etc. All at the Mobil on South Congress, just North of Ben White.

Tasting this after 2 weeks in the bottle and, though I've yet to do a side-by-side, I have to say it is pretty close. I would probably up the malt to 15# next time, but that's just because my efficiency isn't great. This weekend I'll pick up a bottle of Yellow Rose at the gas station down the...

Agreeing with other posters re: minimum 10 gal for 5 gal BIAB batches. I went with this for 5 gal batches and don't regret it. Actually, I do regret not going larger for 10 gal batches.

I was at my local store today (SoCo Homebrew) and they actually brewed this with the Lone Pint guys. Apparently when they did their batch the hop additions were as follows: 0.5oz @60 0.5oz @30 2.0oz @15 2.0oz dryhop I picked up 13.5# pilsen and some WLP090 (although the LP guys said they used...

I was reading an article about Barrow, Alaska and many villages in Alaska with more than X percent "indigenous population" ban the sale of alcohol entirely (though import and possession are still legal).

Y'all missed the obvious: I Pee A

Interesting. Autolysis, while certainly rare, definitely isn't a myth. From my experience, you don't have to worry. The gross, meaty stench is immediately apparent. What you may have to worry about is oxidation. I've had that issue in some of my older bottled beers. If I were you, I'd crack a...

I use small grain bag that I attach to the side of the kettle with a binder clip. It hangs pretty loose in the kettle and tends to move around during the boil. Then I do 2 things to cut down on hop trub in the fermenter: 1. Boil screen in the kettle. 2. Let the wort sit in the kettle...

Watch out, lads! It appears the vocabulary police are out in force and cracking heads tonight!

Grain to glass for me is usually ~5 weeks, but I bottle. 2 weeks primary 1 week dry hop (in primary) 2 weeks in the bottle

Falconer's Flight is also a great single hop for an IPA. One of my standard recipes is as follows: 10# 2-row 1# 20L 2oz magnum @60m 1oz <some other hop> @15m 1oz <some other hop> @5m 2oz <some other hop> dryhop (...where <some other hop> is a single hop variety. So far I've done this with...

I live 20 from JK and I still have a hard time finding it in stores. To the OP http://jesterkingbrewery.com/jester-king-homebrew-recipes

[Disclaimer: I'm an IPA guy myself. Probably upwards of 80% of the beer I make or buy is an IPA.] I think there's definitely space for critique, of IPAs or anything else. The "unbalanced" complaint doesn't bother me, but I also don't agree. Opinions are great like that. But what seems to...
