I agree with everything said here. And honestly I was in the EXACT same boat you were in. My wife and I live with her parents, we're all a little hard up for cash and the group setting works well. My wife stays home all day to watch our baby and I have a 3 day weekend Sunday-Tuesday. So on one...

I used a yeast cake from an apple wine, i also used lalvin 1118. Took off in about 3 hours with both the cake and a packet of dry yeast.

just buy grolsch. get beer and the bottles. a 4 pack usually costs around 8 bucks. so for 2 bucks a bottle (plus beer!) its not that bad of a deal. Thats the cheapest was I have found.

i love the schadenfreude in this thread. I am alright with this situation being laughed at, it's just a series of unfortunate events. one after another after another........

Nice! :mug: I'll have to pick one of those up.

I looked into it, but to get my final gravity i'd need a hydrometer anyways. so what is the benefit to using a refractometer when I could just use a Hydrometer instead?

I only had it in there to know how close i was to boiling. I planned on removing it but I had a pretty violent hot break.

:ban:

I don't wear a watch. Plus i had this nifty app on my phone that claimed to alert me when I needed to add my hops. I forgot to look at the time when my boil started. :drunk: Thanks. Don't worry I'm not throwing in the towel after 1 bad brewday. Although for about an hour afterwards I...

Thanks for the confidence, I have another grainbill set up for next weekend, I'm hoping to do 1-2 a month til I get it down pat, then maybe 1 a week. Get a nice pipeline going.

So this past monday I did my first all grain batch. Almost everything went wrong. The day started with me running to home depot to get an attachment for my hot liquor tank so i could sparge. I get back only to realize i got the wrong size... no problem. I'll dissassemble my 5gal pot that i...

I thought "I have a grain mill! What can I mill that is similar in size to grain?" I got to eager. I got through like 7 peanuts before it made a mess.

I just built one of these, (still need to knurl the rods some more, but here's a valuable lesson, DON'T USE PEANUTS TO TEST A MILL! you'll end up with peanutbutter.....

You're gonna like the way they look. I guarantee it.

Here you go Yooper!

The 6 month beers I was talking about are some light barleywines. I've seen some aged a year or so. But because he is a beginner (not knocking it we all started at some point) the beer should be aged some. Definitely not 2 weeks from brew to keg. *I assume 2 weeks because most beers i tried at...

No!! Don't drink it so young! You're drinking subpar beer that way. The 3 weeks bottles take to condition and carb allow the beer to mature. Some beers don't hit their stride until 6 months (and others even longer!) Granted, some are good young (wits) but most should be aged! </rant>
