yeah, i never heard of them before Friday, but both of their beers at the beerfest were really good.

I would say Back in Black was one of my favorites for a long time until last night. I had Uinta Duhbe at the Pittsburgh Beerfest and it is now my new favorite black IPA

i have a 70 qt cooler and a braided hose. Works like a champ. Havent used my igloo and false bottom in a year, no more stuck sparges.

Get one of each. It's only money. You'll make more. Like JustLooking said, glass is better for long term aging. I like the plastic with the wider openings when i'm dry hopping.

Take your co2 and pump it into the 6 gallon carboy before racking into it. I would just go buy a 5 gallon better bottle. They're cheap and you will certainly need it again.

Got a new 6 gallon better bottle and all the ingredients to make my Westveterlen 12 clone!

Yeah, and I don't know why people keep complaining about that and about the 40 degree vs. the 60 degree slope. My plastic bucket doesn't have a slope and I can't dump the trub out of it. Still on the waiting list though. Kinda sucks.

Not a big deal, especially if you plan on racking to secondary. Make sure you vorlauff next time.

Great post. I have been wondering about this as I am currently designing my brewhoulse that I plan on building in my basement. I was considering installing a big bathroom ventilation fan and using the dryer vent hole that is already in the wall. I gather by your post that this would not be...

That is a good video. It really is that easy, and I think you'll be surprised at how good your beer comes out. I waited three years to switch to all grain and i wish I hadn't waited so long. Good luck to you guys.

And if you don't want to "jump in the deep end with both feet", you can try this as an introductory method and you won't need as much equipment. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/ What city are you in? I would be willing to bet that someone on this forum is...

Perfect! northernbrewer.com has an all grain kit on their home page today. Click on the link and they have a video on what an all grain system is and basically how to use it. Bear in mind that you can build these parts much cheaper, but some people like to buy the kit and start making beer...

Just wondering how far along are you guys. Do you have a mash tun and equipment already? Are you planning on buying the equipment or making it? Dennybrew.com http://hbd.org/cascade/dennybrew/ has a good page on making your own mash tun and then batch sparging. I would think the best way is to...

yes, that will work, put some sanitizer in the water jug. Did you only pitch one pack of nottingham yeast? If so, that may not be enought to finish your beer, If it does finish, the yeast may be stressed and cause off flavors. I gather that is to be a dry stout, so maybe pitching your super...

I have had success when adding it to the secondary. Definitely use the honey malt, then, If you plan on racking to secondary, warm up the jug of honey in hot water, put it in the secondary, then rack on top of it.

Also, I'm thinking when I get mine, I'll drlll a hole and install a ball valve on the bottom to dump the trub. Anyone see a big problem with this?

So, any of you guys who got the bucket, brew with it yet? Thoughts? Recommendations? I'm still on the waiting list.

3 gallons lemonade mead. In the primary now.

I add the water to the mash tun, stir, let set 10 to 15 minutes, quick vorlauf, and drain. Works great every time.
