    It's getting there

    How big is that pot. I Love that it can do double duty. Got two kids that I would love to put up on occasion.

    Starting my electric build

    It starts with a keg as the boil kettle. I will be putting a stainless pot in my rubber maid 10 gal cooler. Plan on a RIMS for the mash tun and a 5500 watt element in the boil kettle. Do you realize how nasty a keg can get after a few years? My buffing pad gave up about the...

    Why all grain?

    Seen that a couple times now. Thinking I'm going to skip the Sparge arm now. Going to cut up one of my new 10 gal coolers and put a ss pot in it. Going electric too. This is a good forum to find a way to spend money, I mean brew beer. ;)

    Scored some Greenlee punches

    Yep. 1/2 conduit is the 7/8" hole he needs for that weldless bulkhead.

    Wildwest's brew lean-to (my almost dream build)

    Wow. That's a nice clean set up. Now instead of a new garage for the race car I want a brew shed.

    Why all grain?

    I can't beleave I read thru all of that. I've brewed several extract kits. I got 4 fermenting right now. But I'm getting ready to go all grain. You could spend a lot of money going all grain with equipment or try the beer in a bag. Currently I just bought 2 ten gallon water coolers. I need to...

    Can Safale 05 take a KBS clone from 1.124 to 1.02 range? Already at 1.044

    !5 lbs of LME and 6.5 lbs of gain. I'm new here and like the higher abv beers but this is more then the 9 lb extract kits I have started with. Seems like alot but if this turns out good I may have to try it.

    Bottling High ABV beers

    Thanks for the info. I have left them on the yeast cake longer then the instructions called for. I wanted to rush it or I would have left them there longer. The power porter was on the cake for 2 weeks and then in the secondary 1 week. The double IPA was in the primary 3 weeks and I'm leaving...

    Bottling High ABV beers

    I'm wondering what most of you do when bottling a higher alcohol beer? I have been purchasing the higher alcohol kits and adding a little extra fermintables to the kits. The 3 kits I brewed so far had a 9.3 # of extract and I have added an extra pound or so to each of them. I only bottles the...
