There some threads over the years that I wish I could go back to and see the pics, in the last big change there was a lot of pics lost.

I’m waiting......🍿

Well considering how long ago this thread was started and how many changes this site has gone through I’m thinking those pics are lost forever.

I have 3 dial thermometers, 1 on each vessel and as long as they all read the same before I get started I’m confident that they will read the temps correctly.

Yes it is, that was over most of the past 10-12 months, we bought a house just over a year ago and we had some money budgeted for some beer stuff that I had been putting off until we were in so when I get back to brewing I’ll be ready!

@Knightshade thanks man, it’s been a looooonnnnggg week and I’m crawling to the finish line!

I don’t do anything between kegs and when I do clean them it’s like 3-4 times a year. They have beer in them all the time what difference does it make if you leave some beer in them between kegs? Just because a keg kicked doesn’t mean what’s in there is going to go bad, if you didn’t pour a beer...

I posted earlier about Northern Brewer and their kits but I have spent almost the last $800 of everything else from these guys, great company to do business with and super fast shipping, I would highly recommend them.

So since moving in to the new house brewing has taken a bit longer to get back too but it’s funny you should say that because my first planned brew is going to be a rice lager! So that’s what I’ll cal it! And look @Konadog has a picture of us having that beer! 😂

@bracconiere you've inspired me! I just put up a cartoon avatar! Oh and I do live in the real world which is why I come here, I need a get away......

Could this motor assembly work on another mill? Like to upgrade to a 3 roller? Then it might be worth it. I don’t know that speed is really a factor when you can just dump your grain and walk away. My motorized corona mill mills a pound a minute so I start my mill and then do all the other prep...

There has been a lot of good info in this thread, the short of it is yes it CAN be cheaper. I started over 10 years ago with a simple setup I bought used on Craigslist and a 5 gallon pot from my grocery store for like $100 bucks. I did extract and about a year later moved to all grain with a...

Did a salmon filet yesterday and doing a small (3.5lb) brisket today. @betarhoalphadelta I've done it both ways wrapped and unwrapped and I think it depends on the smoker, I use a UDS and honestly I find a water (or whatever I put in it) pan under it makes more of a difference that wrapping or not.

That works the best for me also, I do most of the prep work the night before so all I have to do it focus on brewing the day of.

I read through most of this thread and my suggestion is to buy a kit from a big supplier, I totally get supporting local but sometimes it’s their kits and ingredients that can be older and cause an issue. when I can‘t brew AG I look for deals from northern brewer, their kits are pretty solid...

Ok so I’ve tried to do exactly what you are trying to do, only not quite as big as a box as what your trying to achieve. And it didn’t work, I tried using fans but the fridge couldn’t cool the air fast enough. And as someone else mentioned outside air temp plays a part, I don’t have to worry so...

I think this is going to be one of those practices that have different effects with different people and different systems but for me i don't see a difference.

I personally have not seen the benefits of a mash out, I understand the science behind it and I have done several brews with and without and I don’t notice a difference. Now as long as I have brewed AG I always did a sparge, a dunk sparge with BIAB and Fly sparge with my 3 tier set up and tried...
