yep, build a proper line from bottleto bottle. get a good scale. Hook the big bottle to the little bottle. Put the little bottle on the scale. Tip the big bottle upside down. make a note of the weight. Open the valve on the little bottle, open the valve on the big bottle. Put 5 pounds of...

I can make just about any beer including 8 ounces of hops for $20. IfI use a pound (in a 5 gallon batch) that puts me at about $32 max. You have to start shopping around for ingredients. You're paying way too much for kits.

Here's my take on the situation. I'll use what I have on hand (enough for about 10 beers) until it's gone. I'll rob the LHBS in the first couple days. That'll provide ingredients for a couple years. Now I can focus on staying alive. First step, go through the dead peoples houses and get all...

I may actually organize another soon. We have some club members that would like a few sacks and I found out friday night at a meeting that one of our members has a loading dock at work that we can use. We would like to order 11 pound bags of hops to split as well. I'm going to bring it up at...

A Huge Thanks To Our Organizer!!!!!!!!

I'll agree with the second poster. You should be using us 2 row and some 60l for this. These are the 2 most available malts in the country by far. Everyone in the US should have easy access to them. Next, what is US 175 and US 120???

I have some big pretzel containers that hold between 6 and about 12 pounds of grain, depending on size. Do you guys want me to bring them? I save them for this purpose but wifey keeps complaining because I have so many and need to get rid of a bunch.

Monday night is also great for me as well. I will try to be there by 7 but 7:15 is probably more realistic for me, as long as it's ok with you. I am working nights and the last airplane lands at 6ish. We have to refuel it before I can take lunch to come get the grain. I will definitely be...

Why not do the brew in a bag method? Get a big nylon bag or make one the size of your cooler, put all the grain in the bag and tie the top, then pour your water in and batch sparge. It'll cost you $5 and you'll be in business. Oh, are you really in Buffalo or just near there? I'm originally...

I think wecould probably support 5 sacks and a few pounds of hops on almost every order from our club.

I'll second arkador. I only use a secondary when I need to age over 4 weeks. IMO it's an unnecessary step to rack to a secondary fermenter. I think a lot of the things that aredone today are based on 1970's practices. A lot of brewers are afraid of change, afraid of trying something...

It's reducing fermentable sugar, not reducing sugar. The OG will be just as high as before, but you'll have a bunch of unfermentable sugars, thus a sweet beer that is NA. Have him try adding a hop pellet or two to a bottle of NA before he drinks it to see how that is.

Dude, don't use it. I have a piece of perforated stainless steel. How big a piece do you need? You pay shipping and it's yours.

pellets for me as well. thanks!

I will confirm the list that you have in the very first ppost for me. That's what I need. Would it be possible to get a per sack price for the MO and the 2 row, and then just an overall price for the all of the hops together will be fine.

another thought. Tell him to bring $20 with him next time he comes. Have all the parts for a mash tun ready to build and have him build it. Take his $20 for parts.

I havea couple brew buddies. We gather and both of us brew a 10 gallon batch that we split. One person is in charge of each brew. Most beers are the same money or very close in price, so I don't worry too much about that. It's nice getting 2 different beers out of it and I really enjoy the...
