I will be careful.

I'm sort of in the same situation for space, except I just like quality ale and not QUANTITY.....I don't go through that much. Being an engineer, I am into the process and would like to perfect future 1 gallon batches. I already have an RC airplane hobby that eats up money; I don't need...

I am a newbie with a simplistic question or two: I have a 1 gallon recipe from Northern Brewery. If I follow the instructions explicitly, there is no call for using a hydrometer. I am looking forward to future brewing and want to use/learn about the specific gravity of the process, so I am...

As this newbie wades through all the knowledge bases out there for home brewing, I stumbled across this post of yours and the reference to the table of extracts. It is a great piece to contribute to my learning. Thanks!:tank:

Well, I thank you all for your responses. We don't even have a dog, so it was kind of a "what if" question.

Don't know if this is the right area or not, but I am getting into brewing my own beer and reading EVERYTHING to gain knowledge. This really isn't a question about the brewing itself, but about a by-product. Somewhere in my reading of specialty/partial or full grain brewing, someone said to...

I am just preparing to getting into home brewing and have decided to take the 1 gallon path to start with. Available space, cooling control and volume of output (I'm not a large consumer) are all reasons for going this way. I'm starting to believe the 5 gallon people hate us "Oners". I have a...

I'm with you. I talked to the guy on west Bell and he talked up the wet towel cooling solution (had one sitting in front of the counter). I have decided to become a 1 gallon brewer to begin with and have ordered a kit from Northern Brewer. I think I can maintain temperatures needed with the...

The more I read, the more I think I might bypass the 5 gallon and take up the 1 gallon to start with. Thanks for the recommendation.:)

I will be starting with a 5 gallon batch. I put in one question about carboy and fermenter bucket sizes, as I have a bar fridge I might use (but maybe not) and need to see if it is big enough. I also am looking to understand controllers I could use for a fridge, as its normal ranges are...

I'm semi-new to beer brewing (did a little 40 years ago) and starting over with learning all the new methods/equipment. I'm retired from middle-management in high-tech and have had MANY hobbies. I'm presently into RC airplane flying....I say flying because I'm not the best builder. Flying...

I am on the doorstep looking in and trying to decide how to proceed. I did some minor beer brewing in the past, but best to just discount that. From the reading I have done to this point, keeping the fermenter "at temperature" is probably one of the most critical tasks. I have a bar fridge in...
