40 Gallons

The first batch of All Grain will be a Deschutes Jubelale Clone, since we are still in the Holidays. This will be my first All Grain batch, I have seven extracts under my belt and all have turned out great, ready to take the next step. I have built my mash tun from a 52 Qt. Coleman Extreme...

Ultravista, thanks for the info, I will have to look into that. I didn't look at it that close.

MOD EDIT: threads merged Look what Santa brought me for Christmas, I must have been nice!! 11 Gallon Bayou Classic Stainless Steel Brew Kettle with spigot. I can't wait to put it to use!!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy Brew Year!!!:mug:

Congrats on your 1st brew and welcome to the obsession!!

My first extract brew back in May of this year I did the same thing. I opened up a bottle at the two week mark, the beer had great flavor but was flat. I called my LBC and asked what I did wrong, they said I didn't give it enough time to carb. They suggested waiting another week, I opened one up...

Any ideas??

How do you add pics?

Bad news came home from work and went to look at the wort, there is white patches of mold floatimg on top of the wort. Time to throw in the towel and brew again!!

***UPDATE*** The hydrometer reading was 1.056 when I put it into the fermenter, that was a week ago. The initial reading last night was 1.026 and then after I let it sit for about ten minutes the reading was 1.018. The sample was very brown and cloudy, it did have good flavor. I suspect that is...

I just finished a batch of Pliney the Elder that I overcarbed. I use 16oz flip top bottles, when I opened the bottles it sounded like a small calibur gun going off, lol. I opened them in the sink and then poured them into a pitcher and let the head settle before I drank them. They tasted great...

ChshreCat: Thanks for the input, trust me I will pay more attention in the future to avoid this happening again!

ChshreCat: I typically pitch at about 75 degrees, I know that 80 degrees is at the high end of pitching temp but figured it would be alright. The fermentation temp in my house is at 70 degrees. I have not had any off flavors in the past. Do you think the fermentaion process will take longer...

Yesterday I invited a buddy of mine over to help me brew an extract. We steeped the grain and had the 6.5 lb bucket of LME sitting under the table. Needless to say, forgot to add it to the brew pot for the 60 min boil, too many home brews while brewing :drunk:. We did all of the hops additions...

There is a great satisfaction drinking the first beer you made, congrats it only gets better, I am on my fifth batch.

Do a search on Craigslist, I found two complete kits used a couple of times, one was $60.00 and the other was $70.00. Here is one of the adds: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/for/1952729029.html

I will have to do that, the Ale House also has quite a variety of beers on tap.

bigdood is correct there are two Narrows Bridges now, the cash price to cross the bridge is $4.00, if you have a good to go transponder affixed to your windsheild the cost is $2.75. bigdood- Do you mean do I get down Portland way? Yes every now and then, just drove through on the way back from...

Hi, I have brewed three five gallon batches so far and so far all have turned out great. I am doing partial mashes because of the time factor and equipment involved with a full mash. I am using 16 oz fliptop bottles for bottling. The first was an Alaskan Amber Clone, I tried it after two...
