First, welcome. 2nd, yes, you will need to start over. 3rd, 5 packets of yeast? For 5 one gallon batches? In reality, you only need 1 packet for a 5 gallon batch. Search the cider forum, and I'm sure you will find a good recipe, but it looks like you are trying to do this on a minuscule...

Didn't read the whole thread so my apologies if this has been asked. What was the temp of your hydro sample?

Using Revvys method but adapted to my space, I can bottle a 5gallon batch start (sanitizing bottles) to finish (fermentor and bottling bucket clean and put away, bottling area cleaned up) in an hour 15. That includes soaking the plastic.

Occupy All-Grain! Research BIAB and go buy the ingredients. Won't set you back much from my understanding. My all grain batches have been just a hair over $20/batch at the LHBS.

man, i've got 2 utilikilts, love them.

I had the same issue when I made mine. Made a n00b mistake. While the corny was in the kettle for clearance purposes, it cleared the probe fine. Didn't take into account how much the copper would loosen when I took it off the keg. The probe gets in the way, but the chiller works fine. I'd...

I've not had an issue with mine so far. But I saw someone make a spring like contraption with SS wire and slide it inside the braid. That allows you to shape it if you want to, but also keeps it from collapsing.

From what I understand, sour beers are your best bet in a used wine barrel. And those could take a year or more. Do you have a club? If I were you, I would have a club brew day and rack 11 (or 6) batches into it, and then let it go to town. Get together and take samples every few months, and...

My LHBS had a tasting the other night and we had celebration ale from 03-10. Was neat tasting them all in a row. They do age very well. Can't wait to get the 11

Put my BB holiday in the keg last night. Tasted and smelled great

Worked awesome. Cooled from boiling to 66 degrees in about 15 min

Welcome fellow memphian. Been doing this for a little while now. Did 10 extract batches, apfelwine, and 2 all grain batches so far. Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you need any help locally.

Yea, I noticed that when I took it out of the box. I already had one but figured for that price, I should have another. Could have started on a crappy brew stand if I had 3. May go grab another tonight. There are threads about how to defeat the timer.

Brewing a Sierra Nevada clone as we speak. 30 minutes into the mash

Picked up a turkey fryer with 30 (I think) qt aluminum pot from Bass Pro today for $39.99 (43.73 with tax)!!! Should have bought 2. The regular price is $79.99 so it was basically buy one get one free. Sale is going on for a while.

and yea, i can fit 6 comfortably with the shelves out. i'm shooting for 4 on tap, and 2 that are ready to go as soon as one kicks

hahahaha. that'd be a horrible thing to come across. still been thinking really hard about the paint. When i was at home depot yesterday picking up some spray insulation and a 1 inch bit, i looked around the spray paint section, and didn't really find anything i liked, so I figured i would...
