Any idea how far to tighten? as far as I can get it?

It was supposed to be an IPA, but i guess if I do this it will just become a pale ale of sorts.

Alright, I decided to brew toda. Mashing an the first 30 minutes of the boil went well, no hitches. At 30 minutes left, my propane tank ran out of juice. I went to the nearest exchange, got my new tank, and came back and hooked it up. However, it wouldnt let gas come out. I went to the station...

Yea I love the method it was awesome, just a little unexpected on the amount I got. I broke my hydrometer on brew day so I just said screw it and didn't take a reading. But, I suppose since after looking a bit more at the calculator, it was supposed to put have that 1 ish gallons of trub that it...

5 gallons of some pale ale 2237

The 90 minute boil is likely to hit your volume and gravity like said above, but it may also be to get rid of DMS. I think the wiki on DMS on here recommends a 90 minute boil to guarantee its removal from your beer, though I think most people agree that with a 60 minute boil you don't get any of...

I brewed my first BIAB batch this past Monday! :mug: I used the spreadsheet calculator over at BIAB.info to calculate my starting volume, and got the result of 9.5 gallons which I thought was high but went with anyway. My recipe called for 11 pounds of grain and I did a 60 minute boil. After...

I told her if I was 10 years older it would be an amazing gift as I would have a house and garage to put it in, but right now its just too large. I have it up on Craigslist, too. At the very least its a couple hundred in scrap metal, but I thought it'd be better to try and find it a good home first.

My girlfriend has a great heart and fulfilled my request of getting me a bigger kettle to brew with this Christmas, but she went a little overboard. She purchased this huge kettle that would be a great addition to any large batch brewer. It was custom built by the guy she got it from. It comes...

My girlfriend got me this 100 gallon behemoth. I'm not sure that I can even take it back to my apartment 70 miles away yet, let alone make enough beer to make using it feasible. Even if I did 15 gallons at once in it, it would barely be full enough to steep a grain bag in. But I'm very grateful...

i didnt think of that, thanks guys

I just received my amazing Christmas present of a pin lock corny keg! However, it has come with the standard lid for pin locks with the static relief valve. In a lot of videos I've watched on how to keg the guy purges the oxygen that's inside the keg with the pull tab. How important is this...

Bodega on high street is great. Great beer and good food. 4pm-8pm half off all drafts. Kenny road market has excellent beer selection.

Better add my count to the total before the years end! 53281 + 14 = 53295

This has probably been asked lots before, but I couldn't find anything relevant to my case after some searching. I want my next batch of beer to be a bit clearer so I've decided to use some gelatin finings. I've read that you heat the water to boiling, let cool to 170 then add the gelatin for 15...

Just brewed this recipe at the beginning of the month, minus the extra .6 pounds from the DME due to what my LHBS had. Tasting notes at bottling time have me really excited to crack one of these open. Edit: Just cracked one open after my first final exam after two weeks of bottling. The nose...

Brewed this on 11/14 so waiting to see results still. Had to use a 3/3 amber/wheat DME split b/c that's all my LHBS has. Will report back tasting notes at bottling time.

I brewed the deception cream stout as my thrid ever batch and it says to primary for 30 days so that was the plan. Though I'm not sure the advantages of leaving it in primary after the krausen is gone and the beer has settled.

I went away from my apartment for the weekend, and left my fermentor in the basement. Over the weekend I find out my roommate through a perty while I wasn't there, and they were playing drinking games in the basement and someone was sitting on my fermentor the whole time, causing the vodka to...
