Anything Bud and not because it’s Budweiser because I get crazy wicked headaches the day after drinking it, after the 3rd time “trying” to drink bud I realized I just can’t drink it.

Those gloves look awesome!!!

What kind of water are you using? I’ve had tap water give me the same results you are having, it may not be your process.

I always try to make a purchase worth it so whenever I buy yeast I always buy several packs and hops I always get several lbs. It’s not necessarily to save money but make an online order worth it.

@RyPA im sure that’s the case and I don’t know what their reasons are I just know that after you get some brewing done you’ll figure it out.

After some brews you’ll start to figure out your system, even if it’s the same system as other people it’s going to be slightly different than others. On my system I have figured out my water volumes and strike temp and other things that now I just know what I need to do, and I have never used...

@RyPA you could brew a 5 gallon batch and split it in half and either add a different steeping grain, different dry hops or a different yeast then your still making 5 gallons but ends up as 2 different beers. I make 10 gallons at a time and I will do that occasionally, take a lightly hopped...

Honestly I think only you can answer this question, I bought a corona mill when I started in AG and I’m glad I mill my own grains, the only LHBS I have is at least a half hour away and they charge you to mill your grains. I buy in bulk and always have I like being able to brew when I want and...

That sounds great! Can’t wait to see pics of it done. Do you get the whole garage for the brewery or do you have to share? I only have half as the still in progress brewery and the other half is for tools and house stuff.

Then it looks pretty normal, you could always rack from under or make another batch and blend them to help with the viscous feeling. From what I remember I’ve had mold a time or 2 and as long as it was on top I never worried about it. It’s been awhile since I made kombucha.

When I started BIAB I bought a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer (which you don’t need) and a $5 2 pack of paint strainer bags from Home Depot and just like that I was making beer with grains! I did a “dunk” sparge in a 2 gallon kettle and was getting high efficiency using that method, I used an old...

That looks awesome!!

Yes that ^^^ I’d get like 2 or 3 packs of dry yeast and pitch them all at the same time, I’ve read about getting it to ferment with preserves but it’s not easy.

What did you make? Beer, wine? It looks like a mother for kombucha.

How big is the space? Between the door being open and the window with a fan that might be enough. Is there a way to just add a vent from a duct in the garage? I have a single duct and it makes a big difference, if the door is open for any length of time it will get hot but my garage stays closed...

Welcome to the Hobby! It’s a great and rewarding one, and when I started my goal was to expand my beer palette also! Good luck with your new obsession! and you live in a great area for beer!!

I love adventures in Homebrewing! Thanks for the link!

Sounds great! Can’t wait to see pics! A dedicated brew space is awesome!!
