Bump! I'm also wondering this. Considering a black box before I spring for an Inkbird.

I know that I would appreciate that labeling and I assume others would as well. Interestingly, you can buy the HBU packs separate from a recipe kit. However, the description doesn't actually identify how the HBU's translates into IBU's. Is it just 1 HBU = 1 IBU in a 60 minute boil? Seems like...

Awesome. Thanks. I'd like to keep it as simple as possible so that's helpful.

Hi all, I did some searching but wasn't able to fully get an answer to my question. I'm relatively new to all grain brewing. For my next brew I want to do a little playing around with different yeast strains. So I intend to brew a 5 gallon batch of Heretic Brewing's Porter. The anticipated OG...

I want to get as close to the max IBUs as possible :-)

Good info so far guys. Thank you. I did just realize that the 1 pound of LME (though probably not the specialty grains) would also add volume :-). Is there any indication that splitting the boil would negatively impact me? I'm definitely tempted to boil with his much of the final volume as possible.

Actually, I just checked, and it's 21.5 quarts which equals 5.375 gallons. So maybe that would be a little tight?

I have one of the big enamel canning pots that would hold plenty of water for a full boil (not sure of the exact size [can check later] but definitely more than 5 gallons), I'm more worried about the chilling aspect if I do a full boil.

Hey all, newbie here about to do my first brew tomorrow. I purchased an AHS double IPA extract kit. I realize this is kind of a big beer for my first brew, but I just get so excited about the style that I had to go for it. Anyway, the kit instructions call for doing a partial boil starting with...
