That is what I wanted to hear. Thanks, now all I need is a grain mill

Im ready to go all grain but my brew kettle is to small. Can I use a keg with the top cut off? Only asking because I can get one from a buddy.

thanks everybody I asked because i have two five gallon pots. two 2.5 gallon batches is interesting.

I want to go allgrain but have never done can I do it with a 5 gallon boil pot?

I cant wait to try them either. I have tryed them after a week and nothing like that. maybe a sanitation problem.

I was looking at recipes and this one sounds so good.But i dont no what a dunkeweiss is? Im still a rookie but i just made a irish stout recipe kit, and it was my favorite brew so far. this sound similar. what are the ferment temps? i can only ferment as low as 60.can i do this? oh its a extract...

thanks for the help, must have lunched on my readings. my first 2 brews were great and my readings were good. not sure why my readings are so far off? I tasted it before i bottled and it was good. It has been bottled for 3 days and no bombs. I hope im in the clear, just fd up my reading.

my recipe was a extract kit from northwest. it fermented for 2 weeks at 65 degrees. then moved it to a secondary for 3 weeks. it read just ove the 5% mark for the OG and the FG was 2.5%

I just bottled a irish stout recipe kit from north west and I still cant figure out the % . OG was 1.040 and FG is 1.020. im hoping to be around 4%. its only my 3rd brew and im still unsure.

thanks for the info. I wasnt looking for total control. I was looking to make little changes for my personal taste.

im a rookie only have 3 brew under my belt. all recipe kits from midwest and all turned out great. Im not set up for all grain but i want more control. I guess my question is I know how to buy the yeasts and extract ,but in the kits the have specialty grains. how do I go about the grains? I...

I just tryed my first one and the taste is great but its kinda dry. did i do something wrong? If it wasnt so dry it would be perfect. my other question was my alcohol % my og was 1.080 and my final was 1.029. It seems high but im not sure? but the beer tastes great, its only my second brew and...

I am making a 5 gallon batch, I have a 5 gallon glass carboy...Can I use this for a primary? Not sure if I need a certain amount of head space.

Im a rookie brewer, my first brew was so good that it evaporated in no time. If you cant drink it, send it to me. I still buy beer but ony because i cant brew fast enough. I love drinking my own brew.

I have only done 2 brews. my first was a kit from midwest turned out great. my second isn't finished yet but, I think will be just as good. I think midwest is great, because thats all i know. thats who i bought my kit off of. Is there better?

If it wasnt mixed well enough will i still be able to drink it?

My recipe kit directions say to move to secondary 5 to 7 days. Its 7 now and im still blowing bubble out the air lock suold I move it? and if i do should I leave whatever is on the bottom there? Its a honey amber ale if that matters. JUst want to make good beer. thanks
