I'd watch the tree part decotion mash video that Kaiser put together. At least that way you'll get a better Idea of the process, and for what it's worth he uses a 5 gallon Igloo for his tun.

Chshre, First off, relax and take a deep breath. Keep your doctor's appointments and get those tests, Family history is what it is. I had five heart attacks before I figured out what was going on. I was to stubborn to believe that I could bee having heart problems. That got five stents I...

How did it go with the follow up? I hope things are getting back to as close to normal as they can get. They went in for a look see today and I got three more stents implanted. Still in the hospital but getting real good care. Hopefully this will satisfy the transplant docs. And we can move...

Revvy, Hadn't thought about the non-Alcoholic beer. I'll look into that. I know the transplant docs. are pretty anal about the alcohol, I had to sign a statement agreeing to be tested for alcohol and tobacco use,aand could be disqualified fro the transplant program if a positive test. Sounds...

Drink, Nope, I can't drink now! I picked hepatitis c in the Army during the '70's, which turned into Cirrhosis then I developed liver cancer. I still make beer mostly because I love the process and I do it for the SWMBO and my son. Here's some progress for you, my first heart stents were...

So Murphy paid you a visit! Sounds like you learned a lot in that one session. Keep at it bro!

That's awesome that you are doing so well in your recovery Revvy. I have a liver transplant to look forward to and the recovery from that doesn't sound like to much fun either.

Tasting that first all-grain brew makes it all worth it, doesn't it? All that worry about the mysteries of the all grain process that at one time seemed sooooo complicated, no is just second nature. I'm glad you got a brew you can be proud of.

I live in Chula Vista, Otay water district. I take my brew water straight from the tap. So far every batch has tasted just fine! Stay Thirsty

So how much wort loss did you have compared to pellets?

I brewed this Saturday 8/14/10 used Notty as the temps here in east Chula vista (San Diego) are a little on the warm side. Had 1.060 into the fermenter, Beersmith gave me 67% eff. Looks to be a great beer. Like they say, "the waiting is the hardest part"! Danke Ed!!

I just tried my first batch of this beer. Some of the best damm beer I've had! Ya ought to be be proud Ed, far as know almost 4,000 gallons of this beer has been brewed. I'm going to have to work at keeping this beer on hand.

Whew, last week I brewed up a 5 gal. AG batch of Edwort's Haus ale. I was trying to keep the first running hot so I put them on the fire, my attention turned to sparging and then I noticed it was boiling away. I turned of the heat, but I was afraid i had botched thing up. Nice to know I was...

5 AG gallons comming out of secondary tommorow and into bottles. Can't wait to drink this batch. 2981

After I pitch the yeast, I draw of a 12 ounce sample and put in a brown beer bottle. When I want to check fermentation, there it is. Need to check the gravity There is your sample. No waste, it is all accounted for. It works for me YMMV.

After 26 years in the Navy "Dead Hookers A$$" IIPA thats my kinda brew!!

Not trying to hijack your thread, but I also just completed my first AG batch with EdWorts Haus Ale as well. With all the reading and watching BobbyM's vids on youtube I was was ready to rock. It was easier than extract brewing, go figure! Thanks to all. I'll keep you posted.

I'm down the road a few more miles in Eastlake. Couple of batches now all in bottles, in fact today is day 21 for the IPA and I plan on giving it a try. Looking towards going all grain as well. the price for extrct really drives up the cost of a batch. Just as soon as I can convince SWMBO I...
