Typo sry. Got a lot of calulations going on in my head. Lol

Thanks. It just seems like everyone does something a little different. So you go with the 1.5gal/per lb of grain. Ive been doing all sorts of calculations and it seems when I get up to 15lbs of grain or so things become more difficult. Not as much sparge water. But thats probably for a...

I have searched and found multiple answers, dont know what to follow. Im starting my AG soon, one thing im comfused on is how much mash water and how much sparge water to use per lb of grain. I have heard 1gal water to 1lb grain, 1.5gal water to 1lb grain and ive heard use half your pre...

Thanks, im lucky and she likes beer!!

Well here she is. The miss, shes cool, she tolerates a lot with my home brewing.

Not sure of the tube size, came in a beginner brewing package I got. I can measure if you really would like to know. It fits in the carboy real tight which is good. This was a partial mash recipe, I got it from my LHBS and ya 90min boil and hop additions every 7 and a half min. And it requires...

Its a dogfish head 90min clone :) The krausen is half way up the blowoff tube now. Never had to use one before.

Lol no its a 6 and a half primary. I have 5 gal's for secondarys.

Ya so I brewed a batch last night and after about 18 hrs after pitching my yeast starter, the krausen was up to the airlock. I sanitized my blowoff tube and stuck it in. I love seeing krausen but I want it to stay in my beer!!

What a pain, yesterday I did a partial mash dogfish head 90min clone. The mashing makes brewing day a little longer but this was a 90min boil with constant hop additions every 7 and a half min, lol. I pitched a 2 stage starter into it and 12hrs later the krausen is already about 3 in and...

Congrats!! Im sure you will be happy. Enjoy making good beer.

My opinion, go 5 gal. I can give u a link to a 8 gal kettle for $29 shipped. Full boil 5 gal then u can start home brewing. I use it and it boils wort just as good as anyone eles.. again this is my opinion but if u like mr beer get out of it and do it for real... mr beer gets u into it then u...

I only use white labs. In the future, crack it open store it upright and let it warm up. Most the co2 will come out. Tighten lid shake, then open slowly and repete. No more blow ups....

Lol good questions. Yes, let the stir plate stay on for at least 24hrs. And lol ya there is a trick to white labs. That's all I use. I crack the seal open and let it warm from a refrigeration temp to room temp and most the co2 comes out while it warms up. (make sure to store it upright with...

Dead guy clone done. Making my DFH 90min clone starter tomorrow. Will brew that this weekend. Mmmnnn DFH!!!

Haha nice. Have fun on ur trip!

Despite all the work, the washing, cleaning and sanitizing, then brewing then more washing and cleaning, I still look forward to it. Today I'm moving a pumpkin ale to secondary, washing the yeast from it and brewing a dead guy clone. I can't wait for this one. Should have a 1.065 gravity. My 2...

Haha nice. I haven't seen it around here anywhere. I will keep my eye open though thanks.

Just picked up a partial mash dead guy clone by rouge at my lhbs. Anybody have this beer before? I never had it but it is a top seller at my local shop, and with a 1.065 sg it sounded good. Thanks.
