I have a bayou classic 10gallon kettle and have probably done close to 15 brews with it. I personally think it works great, and everything seems to be holding up. I want to get a 15 gallon kettle to use as a brew pot and use the bayou classic as a hot liquor tank. Was doing some research and...

Trying to brew a KBS clone recipe I got from byo. A lot of people who Brewer the same beer commented that they had problems with infection. It calls for bakers chocolate and nibs at flameout. I was suspicious of this because I didn't think it would sanitize if only At boiling temp for a minute...

My homebrew shop recommended I use marbles to decrease the amount of headspace in my secondary. I thought it was a good idea but I'm concerned with what type of marbles to use. I don't know, the ones at the dollar store from china that "may contain a water soluble coating" raised suspicion. Does...

I plan on using a 10 gallon kettle for all grain but was just wondering if I could effectively boil 3 gallons in it on a stove top or is there some reason I'm unaware of in which the size of the pot matters? Besides weight

Going to take the next step and try all grain. I live in the northeast and will continue to do partial mashes during the winter. I Would like a kettle that would work for both methods. My question is, can I do 5 gallon full boils in a 10 gallon kettle on a stove top (glass, flat top)? Or does...

So this is the second thread I've had to start for this freaking beer. Details of the brew: partial mash, 1500 ml starter, decanted (probably didn't let it rest long enough first), pitched at 65, 24 hrs at 65, crashed to 52. Og was 1.052. My question is it's been 11 days and the krausen is still...

Hey guys, I brewed a Czech pils using wlp 800. I pitched at around 65 had it at 62 for 24 hours and then cooled it to 49F. I had a lot of activity for 72 hrs and consistent airlock (10 bubbles per min) for another 3 days. I went to check the gravity, and it's still .05 or so from the desired...

Hey guys. Doing a German helles. I did a partial mash and came within a hundredth of the suggested OG (1.052). I did the primary at 49f in a fridge and i reached a gravity of 1.016 and racked to a secondary; I got a little impatient (should be 1.013). I was meticulous about sanitation and not...

I brewed a Belgian Dubbel using Wyeast 1388; I made a 1.5 litre starter and let it do it's thing for 2 days. I don't know if it matters but I did a mini mash. Anyway, got the OG exactly where it should've been 1.071, took the temp of the wort and it read 68.7. I pitched the yeast and then...
