Smoke aside (and it doesn't bother me...) the Behmor is a terrific roaster. I love mine.

I generally roast right to second crack (the moment I hear the first pop of second crack I hit the cool button), but the smoke is definitely building up in the shop before that. The Nesco handled smoke better...it just wasn't so good with flames.

My Nesco went up in flames in my workshop. I got too comfortable with it and left it unattended (I learned that it says not to for a very good reason!). Fortunately it wasn't near anything else that could catch fire so I dodged a bullet, but it could have been tragic. Always stay with your...

My first BIAB I hit 87.5% efficiency...the OG was 1.074, FG 1.010. I think that came to an 8.6% ish ABV. Don't underestimate yourself too much - you'll end up with an alcohol fest. (Mine was an ESB...but with the extra alcohol I've had to dub it an EESB)

I really like the idea of cutting off the bottom of a PET soda bottle, though...I think I'll do that next time!

Everything in California has a warning that it may cause cancer. I gleefully ignore that little warning label. I actually used a little kitchen funnel that my wife had when I realized at the last minute I didn't have one. I had to pour slowly (and fortunately I only do 2.5 gallon batches)...

For the OP - Don't know about your religious status and don't really care...but with a name like Moses there are two that leap to mind for me... Stone Tablet brewing Burning Bush brewing Unless you'd really not want to bring the religion into it :)

And this is a problem how?

+2.5 amber ale + 2.5 ESB 27287

I should have seen that coming :)

Ahem: I DID IT! HOME BREWED AMBER ALE STRAIGHT FROM THE KEGERATOR TAP! WOOOOOO! Thanks to all here with the great advice and information...an ESB is going to be next (just about ready to go in the spare keg). Though man did I ever overshoot the ABV on that one...8.6% isn't quite to...

Interesting. I have noticed a significant difference in the consistency of the mash throughout the 60 minutes - I don't have anything concrete and can't refute the experience of others, but at 10 minutes into the mash I'm still seeing visible changes happening, so it makes me think there is...

Hey...I know you...

Any idea what the shipping and duty would bring the price to?

Those are beautiful! I wanna try them!

Sign me up! IhopeIhopeIhopeIhope!

Fermcap? I've been using it and even with the most vigorous fermentation never have more than an inch of krausen... (If you don't approve of the idea of Fermcap...well, just ignore that I said that.)

There's the exercise you need to cancel out the calories from each of those pints!

Urp. You just gave me reason to always buy my grain by the pound from my LHBS and not by the bag...better they find the little goodies than me.

Amber ale in secondary, ESB in primary.
