Hm, you definitely present some interesting ideas. Can you still replace the spout like they do on the igloos with a ball valve? Or is that where you’re using the bag and just run it through? Both? I have some ideas for hoisting the bag. Either hide a cleat somewhere, or just move kettle to the...

Equipment I guess. Biggest induction pots I have on hand are 1.5 gal, though I guess I could turn out some three gallon batches huh

@IslandLizard Im hoping to find an actual published limit for my stove just to know for sure, but you definitely have a point. There are plenty of people saying it works for them, but I can't brew if I'm dead. And my wife would kill me if I broke the brand new stove. I'd like to use the...

I've looked at the cooler pretty hard it definitely has appeal. My inclination towards using the 10gal kettle is to be able to do everything in one pot and not having to pour or transfer. Yes I have to deal with bag/removal but I think that's easier than moving whole containers. Unless I get a...

Thank you!

Good points. I plan on picking up a Corona mill to start and upgrading later to keep costs down a little. The burner in question is 3600 Watts. Google tells me thats around 12,200 BTU. I'm not sure if those BTU's are apples to apples on the BTU's for propane burners. I see some induction...

Happy new year all Another extract brewer looking to go all grain. I'd love to be able to use my fancy schmancy induction cooktop we just got a couple of months ago, and I would further love to do BIAB. I'm looking at a 10 gal kettle which is induction compatible for 5 gallon batches. My...

Sounds good. I'm going to give this a try with red wine for my next Flanders Red. You've got some really cool things going on these projects!

Regarding Sangria de Blanca, can you talk a little bit about your process for the oak chips/sav Blanc and how that worked out?

Just took gravity sample on nearly identical Mead, just slightly less honey. This one I was more diligent with degassing, and used my Lee's stirrer. Also went 85 degrees instead of 80. Mead in OP went to 1.030, this one is sitting at 1.008. I believe I can reasonably assume the carbonation...

I want to try either a one or three gallon version of this. To scale can I divide spice/fruit amounts by five to get one gallon rate?

I didn't, I do degas during fermentation but honestly didn't do as much of it on this one. I did notice as stated in OP some more more bubbling than usual after a week or two, figured that might be some c02. How do you degas before bottling? Would racking to bottling bucket achieve this? Maybe...

Thanks! I've taken all of it and put it in the fridge as a precaution, no bottle bombs yet thankfully. Took a gravity reading of an opened bottle and no change, but doesn't take much to get some carbonation. Still tasting good!

I have a Mead I bottled last week which I Mead with Voss kveik, with all nutrients added up front due to expected fermentation timeline. Noticed the Mead itself was bubbling for a while, which I assume is maybe excess C02 production? I did get some sulphur early on. Bottled after a month, and...

@TonyBrewing 80f, 8.5 lb honey and water to three gallons. I followed a BOMMish method with nutrients and degassing, though I added all the nutrients up front due to expected fermentation timeline. It kicked out some pretty heavy sulfur while it was going, but seems ok now. Wondering about...

Bottled a Mead yesterday with this yeast, and got 70% attenuation (1.105 to 1.030). Didn't quite go as far as I was hoping, but still came out great. I think I'm going to try this in a braggot and maybe a holiday barleywine next.

@HazyBeer have you made a decision/purchase yet? I am in a similar dilemma. I'm doing extract on my El cheapo pot that came with my beginner kit. The stove will pick it up, but is painfully slow. I imagine it's due to how thin the pot is. I'm ready to move to biab so figured this would be excuse...

@dibbs I plan on using eastern red cedar as well since it's what grows in my area, or at least then only species I've identified so far. Probably will try to go with minimal berries if any. Thanks for your feedback! That is just the type of stuff I was looking for!
