Look into getting some fermcap. It doesn't matter how big your pot is, you risk boilover which sucks. Fermcap will prevent it nicely. Also, santize everything. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I can't tell you the last time I really bought beer. Once in awhile, i'll pick up a 6 pack of mix and match. I have friends that are bartenders so I get my bottles for free. Probably have around 20 empty cases sitting in my basement. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've personally noticed a bigger flavor profile when I either add things into a secondary for a week or at bottling. Flavors that I've added during boil haven't come through much. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I actually just did a kit where it told me to pour the wort right into the cold water that I had in my fermenter. The winter time was great, i would just put my wort outside. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have two competitions coming up in May and needed to get things rolling. I am using the same base beer for both and then I will flavor and modify later. I took two 5 gallon kits and just doubled up production and did them together. I brewed an IPA that was supposed to start around 1.050...

I've got probably $200 into my equipment. It's really all about finding deals. Just picked up a 60qt brew kettle for $20. Probably another $200 in brew kits. I'm on my 7th or 8th kit. If you had to buy actual cases of the beer, it's probably into $400-$500 range. Best thing I can recommend is...

On a 240v system, you have 2 positive wires and a neutral. You still have a bare copper wire to provide grounding. On a dryer, you basically have 2 110v units. 1 spins the drum and the other heats it up. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Cool. I havent filtered going into the filter yet but my cousin did and I think it changed the final product more than it should have. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

After I get my wort all boiled up, should I be filtering it as it goes into the primary?
