I haven't seen one of those LBKs in use in awhile. I have two stuck up in the top of my pantry.

Just curious if this was finished, and if so, how did it turn out?

I use a hop spider. Pretty simple to make one or grab one from an online store. Makes it super easy to simply lift your hops out prior to transferring to your carboy.

For some reason, the attachments aren't showing..........

Man, that is straight up awesome! Do you have an estimated cost for just the building materials for the series 2?

Let me know if you need any help.

By the way, your calculator rocks man.

Thanks again everyone. It sounds like I'd really just be wasting time (unless counting it as a personal/learning project). I've played around with BeerSmith, and to be honest, I really don't like it - which was my thought process behind just writing something myself. I'll take a look at...

The biggest difference with QBrew is the ease of use when comparing to other applications out there. While there are a lot of other applications out there, I had always found QBrew to be the easiest to use - no need in setting up a profile, etc.. But then, you could very well be right in...

I have been kicking around the idea of writing a new Windows applications, and wanted to get everyone's thoughts on if this is something that would be worthwhile............ I had always been a fan of QBrew - not sure if anyone remembers that. I liked it because it was simple to use, and did...

I have been an extract brewer for years, and I am thinking about trying a BIAB brew. My kettle is only 8.5 gallons, and have been looking at some recipes to try out. Here is one I'm looking at: https://www.boomchugalug.com/downloadables/recipes/velvet_all_grain.pdf Think it'll be possible...

I showed my wife this thread over the weekend, and she gave me permission to take over half of the garage to do this as well. Of course, she gave me a honey-do list of items that I have to knock off first before taking on this project. I'm pretty psyched!

Just found this thread - I am so jealous right now! LOL Great job!!!!!!!!

I had gotten a new kettle and went over to a buddy's house to brew. I left my burner at home as he had one. However, we didn't realize his burner wasn't in the best of shapes. The end result was my new kettle getting pretty smutted. This is the bottom after trying to clean it with soap and...

Congrats and welcome to the addiction of this hobby. :)

Thanks. I believe I'll just hit up the LHBS tomorrow morning and pick up a Vintner's Reserve just to be on the safe side. I don't like wine - my wife loves it. Figured if I started making her some wine she'd chill with fussing at me for making so much beer. :)

Hi all. I'm new to making wine (but not to brewing beer), so bear with me if I ask something dumb. :) I was recently given a wine kit from a friend that included a SunCal Merlot. Looks like it was this kit here - http://www.eckraus.com/necessities-box-sun-cal-size-merlot.html The date...

Do you remember how much priming sugar came with your kit?

I split my beans lengthwise and pitch them in the secondary 5 days before bottling day.

How are you carbonating your beer? Are you batch priming?
