Ah yes. I remember that thread but back when I read it I was more of a newb and didn't understand all of it. (* I wonder why it didn't come up in my searches today! - I say make it a sticky) But that is very helpful. Thanks. I'll continue reading that thread to see if I can get more info. I...

I would at least put some in a jar and let it sit in the fridge and then decant the beer off of the top.

I see where people reuse the cake all the time. I like to at least split the left over yeast and wash at least once. Once it sits in the fridge for a while I always have a small level of creamy looking yeast and about 10 times of other stuff below that. I just pitched around 500ml of slurry...

I work close to BrewMasters Warehouse but still order over the internet. It's so easy and cheap. $6.99 shipping isn't worth my time to stop by. It may be me being lazy but it's well worth it. I have always got my orders by next day too. It's crazy.

I'm wanting to make a Black IIPA. Would I add a pound of black malt or what? Is 1 LB too much? I've brewed this recipe three times. I add another pound of 2 row just to make sure I hit my numbers. Does this sound interesting to anyone?

This looks like a good bundle to be sold at a discounted price too! I could see me buying it.

I've brewed 20 batches of this and it's my everyday drinker. The last 11 gal batch I brewed has been in the primary for 7 days today and the airlocks are still bubbling away like three blurps a minute. I have not measured gravity yet but want to rack to secondary today and use the yeast for a...

I have not done it but have read where others have. I think the water just has to be sterile. Is bottled water sterile?

:mug:

I stir. My first few batches were carbonated unevenly. My one and only bottle bomb came from batch #1. Some bottles were very under carbonated. I just give it a few slow stirs to make sure it's all distributed evenly. If anything I think my light ale is under carbonated using recommended...

What's better PTE or Stone's Ruination ?? Here Ruination is $17.50 a six pack. For that money it's got to be good!! :cross: I haven't bought Ruination since it was $14 then I started making my own which I think is better.

To me this is 100 times better than Miller Lite which used to be my lawnmower beer. :mug:

It should work out fine. It's a small grain bill and easy for BIAB. I do BIAB in a 15.5 gal kettle. It seems I need to mash longer to hit my numbers but it works fine. Sometimes I mash for 2 hours or more. Does anyone know the downsides of mashing so long? So far the beer has been great.

I do BAIB in a 15.5 Gal Kettle. It seems to boil off about 2 gal in 90 mins so I think I can do it.

Oh and cold conditioning makes a huge difference. Don't forget to do that.

I love this recipe and have brewed it 16 times now. I love it. It's my every day all day drinker. I recently upped the amount of ingredients to make sure I got my 5 GAL of beer on bottling day. I changed it to: 2.5# 2-row 2# 6-row 2# corn This totally allowed me to start with ~5.5 to 6...

If I look at Mr Malty I pitched at least 4 times what I should have. Oh well. I made it through the night btw. I stuck my bottling hose over the tube to make a blow off and its still bubbling constantly. I'm glad it didn't clog.

Okay wow. After cleaning for the 4th time I'm wishing I had a blow off tube. Hopefully I can make it through the night. *note to self: Don't pitch that much yeast anymore.

So be careful. These guys are right. One of those is probably enough or too much. I combined the two smallest jars I had in this picture and this morning my bucket airlock was overflowing and the lid was about to blow off. I cleaned everything back up and it's bubbling away. I'll continue to...
