Yep just got the reference...I guess I need some more sleep. i'm a bit slower than usual today

Lack of sleep + beer + frustration = ramblings

There is no wife at home to complain about the stove so no worries there! I could have cleaned it but I figured I'd wait till I finished this batch. No sense in risking another mess :p. Turned out there was another one... There was another step of up to 158 for another 30 minutes that i managed...

So its 2:30 in the morning and my brew day just ended. It was supposed to be done two and a half hours ago... I was really excited for today. I had just finished upgrading my set up to use Death Brewer's stove top all grain method (with a few upgrades) and the plan was to take on the Pink...

Just transferred a 1 gallon experimental batch on top of a pound of rhubarb. Got to love those Carlo Rossi wine jugs!

My experience and knowledge of CO2 come from paintball but from what ive seen, as the temps get closer to freezing the paintball guns stop functioning properly when CO2 is used. I would assume that in this situation the lower temperatures would not provide the pressures you are looking for.

I am looking to brew this in the next couple of weeks and I was just wondering is the consensus so far to use the recipe the OP listed or one that was posted a few pages back?

If you dont plan on using the fridge for anything else ever you can definitely do it. I did it recently with a mini fridge and it cost me under $20 (spray insulation and aluminum tape). After I cut away the hump I had to set the compressor back using all the hardware and mounting holes already...

I just did a raspberry Hefe with 2 lbs of frozen raspberries for a 5 gallons. The flavor was noticeable but not overpowering. IMO, for 4 gallons, 1.5 lbs should get you the slight flavor you're looking for.

I havnt had a chance to brew with a partner yet. I dont think my tiny apartment kitchen is big enough to fit my gear and another person (i have trouble stepping over my cat without incident!). I do love being able to turn up the music and kick back with a beer. Its my beer meditation.

Just added my ebay aquarium controller. bypassed the existing thermostat completely. The fridge plugs in to the outlet I wired in before the controller.

Thanks for the input! My original plan was to brew a cream stout, but then I decided I wanted something a bit lighter for summer. I wasn't sure what the style of this would technically be but the lactose is my attempt to give it some quality of the cream stout that I started with. I was unsure...

So Ive done two extract batches and thought I would go for an all grain. Ive looked through a couple recipes here and pieced together my own. Not sure if its technically a cream ale but no matter. So here it is. 4 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) 4 lb Pale Malt (6 Row) 2 Lb Corn, Flaked 1 lb Crystal...

The images dont seem to be showing (at least on my computer) so here is the like to them http://www.flickr.com/photos/79323891@N02/6954702792/in/photostream/

I just stared brewing a few weeks ago and quickly ran into some temperature control problems. I live in a small apartment and dont really have too much control over the temp (right now its in the mid 80s with all the windows open) so I decided to turn my old college mini fridge into a single...
