I haven't done a boil yet, but will be starting in the next 30 minutes. However, I used my NUWAVE PIC Titanium cooktops for the mash. Awesome. 3.5 gallons for mash heated in under 20 minutes. I did 2 mashes in under an hour. Both for 5 gallon batches. Will let you know how long it takes to boil...

Ed's Ale after sparging and at 60 degrees F was spot on at 1.051. Will update when the Good Life raises a few degrees. Checking to see what the OG should be in the meantime. The good life is 1.060. Charlie says 1.052-1.056. I assume that may have been from my substitutions. Both readings at 60...

Try a local restaurant supply store. My local store sells them way cheaper. Aluminum anyway. Bauers restaurant supply mentor ohio. Not sure if they have a website. Bill

Left work to remove grains and sparge. Started with 3.5 gallons of water for Ed's Ale and 4 gallons of water for the Good Life. After squeezing I ended up with 3 gallons for Ed's Ale and 3.5 gallons for the Good Life. Took gravity readings prior to sparging. 1.70 Ed's Ale and 1.74 Good Life...

Thanks, RM. I must have missed that. I work 6 pm til 4 am. So a bit late reading this. Wish me luck. Bill

Forgot to mention I had to substitute 3 pounds of German Pale Malt (3L) for American 2 Row (1.8L) And I forgot to write down which Crystal so the LHBS gave me 60 L and I only needed 20L. My mistake as I was rushing as to not be to late for work. LHBS was more important than being on time. Bill

Making 5 gallons of Ed Wort's Haus Pale Ale and 5 gallons of charlie Papazian's Good Life Pale Ale. Both sound delicious. So far everything is going great. Both mashed in. Hitting all numbers so far. Just mashing today. Will boil and cool and pitch tomorrow. I get off at 4 am so nothing...

I was going to. Just making sure my math is correct. I mean I'm checking that the formula to convert is correct. Thanks.

In Papazian's 3rd edition of "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" his recipes are in HBUs. If I understand correctly, you just take the HBU number and divide by AA%. Is this correct? Making his Good Life Pale Ale on pages 294-296. My Fuggles are 4.2% AA. The HBUs called for in the recipe are 8...

Brewing this next weekend. 2 week primary. Probably a 4 week secondary. Will keg some and bottle some. Should be great around Halloween.

I'm brewing 5 gallons of Ed Worts Haus Pale Ale and another 5 gallons of Biermunchers Centennial Blonde.

Also got everything to make The Good Life Pale Ale from The Complete Joy Of Homebrewing 3rd edition. Recipe on pages 294 & 295. Was 30 minutes late for work getting everything. Go beer.

Decided to brew the CB again as well as Ed Wort's Haus Pale Ale for my dad. Thanks again. Bill

OZM, thanks for the recipe. May try it both ways. I have 3 kegs and 2 are empty. Gavin, the 5 month primary was not intentional. Hopefully it never happens again. Thanks again to everyone that answered. Bill

Got the keg going. Smell is nice, but has a kinda sour taste. Can't quite put my finger on it. Not overwhelming but definitely present. Guess it's time to brew something with a quick turnaround. Either a blonde or pale ale. Anybody have a good SMASH with a quick turnaround, that they don't mind...

Usually 5-7 days for me. The first time was longer as I pitched dry. The other times I rehydrated. Don't remember how long tho. Also, that was my first AG batch. Bill
