Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks. Do you think I'm better off just buying a fully pre-built mash tun or modifying the one I linked? I'm still considering building my own chiller. I just want to make sure there will be some type of savings with diy. Thanks again.

Yeah. I'm the kind of person who loves diy where possible, but I ran the numbers to and it seems like they just about break even. I'm considering building my wort chiller if there is any money to be saved. Do you know of a good place to buy one? Or do you think there are any savings in building...

I was hoping to pick these up while ago as seen in my original thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/what-buy-beginner-379095/ I was initially in need of a stock pot, mash tun, propane cooker, and possibly a chiller. I finally have some free time to do some brewing and was going to pick...

Thanks for the quick response. The pee tastes just okay. I feel like it tastes a little like stressed yeast or maybe something else ( I am probably just being picky). I am going to add the sugar and see how it tastes properly sweetened and then wait two weeks to bottle. I will be trying the...

Well, I did it. I may be the first person to mess up a simple batch of skeeter pee :(. http://skeeterpee.com/?page_id=17 : Periodically check the gravity. When it gets down to around 1.050, add the other 3 tsp of nutrient the second tsp of energizer, and the last bottle of lemon juice...

Excellent. Thanks for all of the responses.

I was making some skeeter pee with a buddy. I was sanitizing some of the equipment and gathering everything and he was stirring the sugar water. I came back sometime later and thought it had already cooled :drunk:. I was wrong. Anyway, I morphed my better bottle and was wondering if it was...

Thanks Yooper! It's been a couple weeks and it definitely looks clear. Hopefully I can rack tomorrow and recycle the yeast cake for my skeeter pee.

Bump. Sorry :(

I have a few quick questions for a simple recipe of yooper's: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f79/welchs-grape-juice-wine-21093/ How long does it take to clear and what is the defines "clear"? Should I be using sparkaloid? How long does it typically take to clear? The above quote means...

Thanks for all of the replies. Hey I might be getting one of the two suggested from homebrewing.org. What is the advantage of having the welded bit? Will that be that much of an advantage over the amazon one? For ten bucks more I might as well pick that one up if that's what you would...

bump

I think I'm going to hunt all the equipment down slowly as see sales online or find it locally. I saw this kettle on sale for 40$ shipped. Do you think that is a good deal? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CHKL68/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Thanks.

Nah, I'm in NJ. Thanks for the advice on cleaning the soy barrels. I am going to pick up a few of them just to have for the future.

I like your thinking :drunk: Any other thoughts? :)

Actually turns out they are 55 gallon drum/buckets. Do you think I will be able to find any practical use for these? Thanks.

Looks like I will be picking up some soy sauce buckets :). Thanks.

I have read several topics on how it is impossible to properly clean a pickle bucket. I have the opportunity to pick up several large food grade buckets that used to hold soy sauce and vinegar. Do you think it would be possible for me to fully clean these for fermentation buckets? Thanks.

Thanks for all of the in depth replies. It does look like I will be starting off all grain. Based off the replies I would like to have the following: 1.Kettle+heater 2.Mash tun 3.Immersion Chiller 4. Possibly a few more fermentation buckets (Might be able to get some free from...
