Is software helpful at all for extract brewing? I recently got back into it, and am currently just brewing extract recipes from Northern Brewer and MoreBeer with distilled water. I do plan to try a few partial mash recipes soon, but I'm not sure I'll be going into All Grain or not. I've read...

Looks like these are available locally at Lowes. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Trimaco-2-Pack-Plastic-Bucket-Paint-Strainer/1008387

Thanks. I think I'll try out the 5 gallon paint strainers for starters.

I'm going to do my first partial mash soon, and will need a bag large enough to hold at least 6 lb of grains, but not way too big for a 5 gallon/22 liter pot. Northern Brewer sells a 2' x 3', but it seems like that might be overkill. Will the freebie muslin bags included for steeping grains at...

12 cups?

I like and resemble that remark. :-)

You mention you're getting 3.75G into the fermenter. Are you gauging your recipe for that amount? Just wondering how much water you're sparging with and how much is in the dunk.

Cool, thanks. Any details on "Dunk Sparging". I'm not familiar.

Lots of good info there Immocles. Thanks!

I've got a 5 gallon pot which I've been using for extract brews. I've been thinking of trying a 5-gallon partial mash/partial boil kit, but would I be better off just diving in and doing a 3 gallon full boil all grain BIAB? I cook inside on the stove, and don't want to buy a larger kettle, as I...

Shred! We love it too. Much more efficient than brisket, for two.

Smoked two chuck roasts and kegged an IPA yesterday. It was a good day.

My first round of brewing, '95-'97, was inspired one night while recording an album. The owner of the studio turned me on to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, then gave me a homebrew.

Coco-Coconut Porter

Memories of the smells of brew day were a big part of me getting back into it after 20 years.

I don't have room to cold crash the fermenter for my next batch, Dead Ringer IPA, so I was going to go straight to the keg, and cold crash it. I usually force carb, so to my understanding (after a ton of reading), my best plan of action would be to transfer to keg, refrigerate at low pressure (2...

Just popped up in my Facebook feed. I'm interested too.

1. Overflowing beer in every photo. This annoys the hell out of me. Clean it up and learn how to pour! 2. Using the word "crushable"in ad copy. It bugs the hell out of me for some reason. 3 Using "af" in ad copy. Really?

Back in the game after 23 years. Kegging, the internet and Star San make things much simpler than the "good old days", that's for sure. Expense is relative of course, just glad I was able to convince my wife to spring for a temp controlled kegerator set up. So much more convenient than bottling.
