Hello all. I am planning on brewing a ten gallon batch of Northern Brewers Pliny the Legacy clone. It calls for a 90 minute boil. Would I increase that for the larger batch? Also, can anyone recommend the best gadget to deal with all the hops...especially the dry hopping? I am thinking this is...

Thanks for the help!

Any I'll effects if I can't keg until the weekend? Pa is starting to have an Indian Summer now! Dumb luck!

I brewed a German alt all grain from northern brewer on Sept. 6th. It has been fermenting at 55 degrees. It is done fermenting. The plan was to keg and let it sit at 35 degrees for a couple weeks. However, just came upon a large amount of pork and beef and need the beer freezer for the meat...

Yes. This turned out "ok". We do have a smoker I just didn't have the time to baby sit it in the cold of Pa. right now. I think the bag would be better for smaller portions of protien. This took WAAY TOOO LONG.

Anyone ever used one of these smoker bag things? SAVU Smoker Bag Read more at: http://www.thenibble.com/zine/savu-smoker-bags.asp

Ordered some new line. I guess it is better to be safe than really sorry!

I thought I had cleaned everything out of my keg lines...apparently not. Now I have a mold issue. Any advice on getting that out? What a bummer!

Thanks for all the help! The pork turned out great! It was done pretty early. The hardest part was keeping the chips going without getting the heat too high. We did have to put some chips down under the grates. Overall I was pretty satisfied and surprised at how well it turned out. I would do...

Wings look delicious! Yes, I have just been experimenting lately. We'll see how this pork goes...

Great info! Thanks for the help. Will give it a go tomorrow. I did a turkey breast a couple weeks ago and kind of messed it up....although, the husband said it was good. But I think learning from that experience and taking your input into account will result in a better product. We'll see!

5 Got it! That sounds reasonable. Should I be basting it or spraying it with anything as it goes?

Hello all! I want to try to smoke a 3.29 pork shoulder on my propane grill using a cast iron smoking box. I have read a lot of random info on other sites that this may take about 10 hours.....Is this true? Any pointers for my plan? I was thinking this would take about two hours at most...

Throwing around the idea of making some port wine and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as far as kits go. I have only done two wines before. A Pinot and a Red. Thanks.

Sounds like that is going to be a pretty nice set up! Keep us posted!

Yes! HAHA!! I can't believe the dirt the little monkeys make on a daily basis! Yes, I am the brewer in the house too. My husband tells everyone he "just does the heavy lifting" and sampling. I could brew myself and have but I really like doing projects with him. Especially ones that are...

UGH!!!! Always one in every crowd!

How long does it usually take until there is some noticeable hop flavor when you dry hop in the keg when the beer is cold?

That would be fun to do a trade! This might be a stupid question but how does that work as far as getting it to a person, mail, ups etc.? One time I sold something on ebay and put it in an old beer case to ship it and the post office would not take it. I had to put tape over all the beer names...

Too bad I can't get her beer in PA! Although there is a new place called Berts Bottle Shop so maybe they will have it some how. They have all kinds of beer we never get to see around here....good stuff to munch on too!
