Just updating that I used my organza bag this past weekend to brew a NB cream ale and the bag worked well and I hit my target OG with no problem... So if anyone has organza and wants to fashion a bag out of it it will work, and hopefully hold up after several batches

Nice! Thanks for the reply... I found that info by googling organza as well, I just read that most use voile and was concerned that this may not be as strong... Thanks again!

I just got my ten gallon megapot from NB with brewmometer and ball valve... Since you'll be doing BIAB the brewmometer is a huge help so you can always see what temp you're mashing at all times... It's easy to put together, and holds temp well too... It has sturdy handles and volume markers on...

I am going to do my first BIAB soon and found a material called organza at the fabric store.. Was looking for voile like everyone suggests but had no luck... My sister made me a bag to fit my megapot out of organza and I was wondering if anyone has tried this material for a brew bag and had any...

Wow thanks for the fast replies guys... I guess I have no excuse to not try my hand at all grain brewing then...

I have been doing extract brews for a little while and want to start doing all grain brews but have limited equipment.... I have a 10 gallon megapot that I just received today and a darkstar burner.... My question is, is it possible to do a 5 gallon BIAB with the above equipment? I know...

Next time I brew it I may try it.... Is there any other preparation needed other than washing the raspberries before you put them in the carboy?

Good deal.... I will probably use it all then.... thanks for the info!

Have you brewed this one or a different flavor wheat using the extract before? If so, how did it turn out when you used the entire bottle??

Hello all, I'm planning out a few brews and I currently have raspberry wheat from NB as well as a few others... The kit has a 4 ounce bottle of raspberry extract to add at bottling and I've read that this May cause too much of a fruit/medicine like flavor to the finished beer. I prefer a...

*** I posted this late last night after having a "few" with friends.... Made the mistake of reading another thread and taking offense at others jabs on HBT about other peoples taste in beers... LOL I need to learn to not drink and post!

Just to clear the air, there are beers I don't like... At all!!! BUT I do understand and observe their place in this world... Bud light and Heineken drinkers are all around me, and will swear that a bud is a far superior beer than anything by flying dog or rogue or (insert any of you favorites...

I brew 1 gallon kits to see if I like it enough to buy the 5 gallon one and also to scratch that brew day itch between big brews... Last night I found I had some time to kill and knocked out a 1 gallon caribou slobber kit from NB... That sucker started fermenting quick! When I got home from work...

I've been meaning to reply but always busy.... Anyway, I brewed this PSP and I used the entire spice pack... I have to say, for my taste, the spice isn't over powering at all... OG was right on, checked Final several times and couldn't get below 1.020.... Kinda disappointing but tastes good...
