Dang... thanks for the reply Bellybuster, I took readings 3 times in 2 weeks with no changes. So I assumed that it was finished, I will open a bottle in the weekend to measure the level carbonation.

Need some help and/or opinions about this stuff in my Scottish Stout; So I went rogue with this recipe and mix some stuff that maybe it was too much. I tasted the beer and it was ok, the cocoa is definitely there in taste with good mouthfeel without being too harsh, a little bit acidic, maybe...

Hello! I'm a BIAB brewer but I just build my mash tun to keep complicating and feeding this addiction. So what happened was, I'm kinda drunk and I was playing with my inventory on brewersfriend.com and the following recipe came out! Please let me know how it looks or if do you have some pointers...

This, how is it looks like? Bottling this weekend! BTW the og was a little bit lower (1.060)so I think the dry yeast should make it with no problems.

This, my first all grain, didn't like it. I messed too much with water and came out kinda flat :( still drinkable tho.

Phew, thanks. Yeah it was from the bag, leftovers basically. :o

Hello everybody, quick question about an issue I stupidly did not consider yesterday, until now... I brewed yesterday and my dry yeast was ready on the vial just before pitching it into my wort and then I saw just a little bit of DME extract lying in one plastic bag, I gathered about a 1oz...

Goddamn that's a beautiful color. :)

This, no good

Only god forgives

Trying to guess what SRM color is my dog... Oktoberfest? http://homebrewmanual.com/media/SRM-beer-colour-chart.jpg

Thanks for your replies, well, I'm glad I posted before doing it... Is a 2.5 gal batch, according to http://pricelessbrewing.github.io/BiabCalc/ Total water needed - 4.41 Gallons Strike temp - 159.11 F But you are right texas, I haven't count on that detail, and it makes sense. I will keep...

So.. today will be my first BIAB brew, I think I have all he goodies ready: grains, kettle, bag and... a cooler. Considering the size of my kettle (4 gal) I opted to mash in a cooler. This is my plan: - Heat water on the kettle - Once reaching the temp (160F approx) pour the water into the...

Not me fortunately, the last guy post his story here. Interesting read and comments. Pics and gore!! http://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/2iczb2/no_more_glass_carboys_for_me/ I found it funny that's all, is like a trend or something? Like beards (I have a beard BTW...)

How do you guys do it? I just can't leave my pinkies in the exterior. And most important, WHY? Anyway, I was checking several videos from different homebrewers and I notice the following, just for fun... Be careful there brave homebrewers! EDIT: Weird, I can just look at them just fine...

Awesome, I'm feeling more confident about my kettle now. After some reading I think 3.7 - 4 gal to start mash will be more than sufficent. My main question was about the volume of water on the kettle plus the amount of grain, solid video C-rider! Mmm in fact the cooler seems a better idea, also...

Great info as always, ill put all advice in practice. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for your reply phyllobeddo, then I think I should do that to avoid boil overs, start with 3 - 3.5 gal of water, mash with 5.5 lb of grain and sparge with gallon at the end of the mash out to complete the batch. Should I have good efficiency with this method? I´ll try to do a flame out...

It is indeed! Specially because is a pain in the ass to post pictures in this forum, I tried dropbox, photobucket and gdrive links with no luck. What size of kettle you will use for 3 gal? I wish I could afford one but no monies right now :(

Hello people, first of all, thanks everyone for creating this awesome forum, it gives me the confidence to start my adventures in brewland, so far, I love this stuff!! I have notice the great progression from my very first batch to my last ones. I have 17 bottles of a nice pale ale in condition...
