Ok, I agree that step mashing will help to a degree for your protien rests, and also the modified malts today do not require most of these rests (maybe some, but not all). I prefer to not do step mashes based on the gear that I am using, so like I stated in the beginning I found a way around...

I would use whatever you already have to the fullest... Ex. Pipe propane to the shed, you already has access to it. For the size of your system goes, figure out how much you drink and how much time you want to spend brewing. Ex. I was going to go to 20 gal batches, but I went to 10 gal instead...

Also in a Wit your wheat malt will give you your head retention so I wouldnt use either in a recipe with a lot of wheat malt. You can also add wheat malt to gain head retention. just add like a pound or so per 10 gallon batch. My APA I mash at 154 and also have 1 piound of wheat the head stays...

Carapils improves head retention and mouthfeel, however flaked oats improves head retention and adds a creaminess to the mouthfeel of the beer. I use Flaked Oats in only in my stouts. I stopped buying and using carapils because it was just something that made my beer cost more. I just mash at...

My label didnt say anything about storing in the fridge and mine has just been sitting my my basement with the rest of my things and it still works great I've used it in the last 40 gallons i've brewed this year and they are all good :)

Thats AWESOME! Where do you bulk order your grain from?

Yeah I bought silicone for post rings, but got buna for keg lids and will get silicone the next time... I have had a couple start to leak after a few days in the fridge. I had to add some keg lube and seal with high pressure for a sec and then back it back down.

I have the part number for all my kegging O-Rings and already have them. However I was trying to get replacement o-rings for my weldless fitting in my keggle. Does anyone know if these would be it? McMaster part nuumber is 9396K32 Thx for any input.

Hi guys, I have been trying to find some information on upscaling recipes. I have several recipes that I have fine tuned for doing 5 gallon batches, but I'm going to brew my first 10 gallon batch next wed. I know I could just double everything, however I don't think that is the right way to do...

I have just cut the top out of my first keg to make it into a brew kettle. Im going to be drilling the hole and adding my ball valve in the next couple of days. However, I have a question about how everyone is making there dip tubes that go to the center. I dont have the cash to buy one. I was...

Ok, I can wait to order that, but what is everyone using as a diptube and screen. I wont be using a hop bag and see people complaining about screens pluggin up from cold break and hop material. I'm trying to find a pic of the inside of someones keggle! Thank you for the advice

I'm glad I found this, I just got the top cut out of my first keg last night. now with this info I can get the hole drilled. However my next question is I already have a 1/2 ball valve and was curious if I can get the rest of the things to install it at Lowes or something. I dont have the money...

Awesome! thanks guys. I planning on doing like 2.5 lbs of rasberries and another 2.5 lbs of blackberries. will that be enough for 5 gallons? I'm just trying to add some flavor to it, nothing to over powering. Thanks again!

Awesome, thanks guys! I looking at adding a mixed berry. maybe rasberry, blackberry. my buddy has a ton of frozen blackberries from his back yard. he gave some to me and my SWMBO made us a cobbler and it was amazing. I'm looking to add maybe about 5 lbs or so total. should I add any acid...
