My gf's awesome!!! She likes beer and likes trying new beer. Yay for me.. she does not like the smell of brewing but doesnt care when I brew. She has a good pallet so she can help me with tastings. She gives me good ideas about what I can make. However she doesnt drink that much. Says it...

Nothing like catching a good ol buzz from homebrew. Had maybe only 6 err 8 irish reds and drinking them quick, because well I aint got $hit to do tonight. But there really is something about actually feeling your work that makes it all worth wild. :tank:

I was going to use the clamps, if they start to look bad ill swap them for some tie wraps. And yeah I got a piece of tubing in the mesh with holes drilled in it. Works good sofar, gave it a 2hr test today with boiling water. Thanks and ill find out this weekend. Im going to try fly sparging...

Thanks a lot. Ill prob try my brown sugar pumpkin ale next week just to see how its doing. I will check back and let you know but mine wont be fully ready for another couple weeks. Good luck with yours and the brown sugar tastes soooo good!!!

Today I bottled 5 gals of a real good pumpkin ale that I primed with brown sugar. Hoping the brown sugar makes it that much better. I washed the yeast and got 4 nice pint jars with a good amount of yeast in each one and...... made me a mash tun :rockin: Will be doing my first all grain this...

I use a 1L flask. It works pretty well IF you have a stirplate. With a stirplate you can take 100bil yeast cells and with a 1 stage 1 L starter you can get it up to 225bil yeast cells which should be good for up to and around a 1.065 OG If you step it up once you can get about 350bil cells which...

I have a glass cooktop stove and I use a alum 8gal pot. I do full boils, it takes a little bit to heat up but it beats brewing outside in the winter in new england.

Ok, so here comes another ss vs alum thread. I have to put my 2c in. I use a 8gal alum kettle that i got from amazon for $29 shipped. Nothing burns on the bottom and you know what thin means? It means it heats up and coold down faster. Thats not a problem with me. My full boils taste great. I...

Did you throw the raisin in your wort? :D

I was thinking of biab I have a 24x24 mesh bag and a 8gal pot but I dont have a valve on my kettle and dont want to mess around with pasta strainers or anything. Plus im working on a electric stove and a cooler would keep a better constant temp. And im getting the itch to buy/make some new...

Was thinking about making 2 coolers for fly sparging but money and space is tight so im thinking about just making a mash tun and batch sparging for now.

Ok so I will shoot for 1.5qts per lb of grain, then ill just sparge untill my pre boil vol is hit? That sounds easy enough. Thanks again guys, appreciate it.
