I did that once and made an IPA. It came in second in a competition. I called it "UWIH." Use What I Have. I've made that recipe several times with some modifications.

Are you talking about the Brew Bucket Mini or just the feet on the 7 gallon model?

I brewed two Belgians last year, a Dubbel, and then a spiced Quad for Christmas. The Dubbel finally blew last week. It took almost a year to go through it. I do have plans for a Singel this year, but that will probably be it.

I've done something similar. I run my RO water directly into my HLT with a float valve to shut it off. I learned that the float valve won't shut off the water if I forget to close the valve at the bottom of the tank. My wife was the one who found the water all over the floor!

2024 + 5 gallons of German Pilsner = 2029

I tried mixing them into the garden soil and spreading them out over the lawn but it attracted ants. We have enough ants as it is so they go into the trash. We don't have enough space to try composting.

So, what happens when you stir your mash?

5 gallons once per month on average.

I get my hydrometers from Williams Brewing. I have one (actually have spare also) that reads up to 1.100 in ,001 increments and another that reads to 1.020 for finished gravity.

You can also use a wine thief. That's probably easier than setting up a siphon and less waste.

What fermenter are you using?

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Escali-P115NB-Precision-Lightweight-Lifetime/dp/B0007GAWSC?th=1 It's been accurate every time I check it with a weight.

Utica Club

I've been growing hops for years but I've only brewed with them once. I grow them more for atmosphere around my deck. The beer I brewed was okay, but I didn't think the quality of the hops was that great. I decided if I'm going to spend the day brewing, I rather spend a few more bucks and get...

I always wanted to win a NHC medal. I've probably had 8 or 9 beers make the finals. I finally got a silver in 2019 for my German Pils. I'm happy and I'm done.

A couple of large stainless steel nuts.

1244.75 + 5 gallons of Kellerbier =1249.75

90% of my beers have pilsner malt in them and I have not had any issues with DMS. I've been using a condenser for almost three years.

Schlussel's "Sticke" is spelled "Stike"

I've been to Dusseldorf twice for the Sticke release at Uerige and Schlussel. IIRC Uerige's was about 1% higher in ABV. They use it as a chance to try different hops in their beer than they normally use. It gives the brewers a chance to play around a little bit.
