My first batch is definitely a huge success thanks to this thread! On the 22nd of August I started my first batch, which I fermented for 3 weeks and then bottled, pasteurized and cold crashed. I have to admit that when I tried it that first day the alcohol taste was a bit harsh, but we're now...

Last Saturday I started my first trial after I obtained both Vietnamese and Chinese yeast balls. I stove boiled 2 lbs of Thai Jasmine 1:1 after rinsing and soaking for 2 hours. To cool the rice, I spread it out on a frozen cookie sheet, which went back in the freezer for about 45 minutes...

Thanks all! I'm going to give this a whirl on Saturday (Sunday I'm brewing beer). This is going to be fun!

Hi all, I've only made it to page 350 and I intend to read all the way to the end, but I just wondered if these are okay. So far I haven't seen this brand in any of the first 350 pages:

Here's mine, but with 2 questions: How do you take pictures without so much glare? How do you get the etching to be so uniformly white? I've used the vinegar/salt solution and while I initially used a 9V battery, I switched over to a DC 12V/1A adapter.

For the heatstick cabling, could I use SJEOOW 12/3 cable? I've looked locally, called electrical stores and looked online, but every single SJOOW cable came back as being rated for 90C. Edit: Okay, got my answer, SJEOOW will work too! Thanks again to Bobby for the great product!

As frazier stated, I've been splitting yeast in 2 for 2 1-gallon batches per brew day. :)

That would be sooooo bad. It's bad enough they're only 5 minutes away by car. I went there 3 times last Sunday. To be fair, the 3rd time was to get bottles for my wife as she was making shrubs. :D

Fantastic, I'm in!

Wow, thanks for the heads up there spkguitar! Minbari, do you use 120V or 220V for your heating element? currently the only 220V I have in the kitchen is behind the stove, and that would be somewhat of a nuisance to pull out each time. Currently I'm also not sure of the available amperage on...

Thanks, what about this combination then: Brewer's Edge Mash Heat Control and this heating element: Submersible Heating Element. The site claims it will boil 5 gallons in about 55 minutes.

Hey guys, I'm buying all the stuff I need to make 5 gallon batches (currently experimenting with 1 gallons) and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this element: 120V-Electric-Brew-Heater I've looked at all these DIY threads and sites in regards to installing heating elements...

I'm in!

Good idea. I'm going to have to check that out! Yesterday I made 2 gal of a Jalapeno Saison. We also finished the last of our Brooklyn Brewing Brown Ale I made previously (the downside of doing 1 gal batches of course). My interest mainly lies with (surprise, surprise) Belgian strong ales such...

Well, technically I'm from Belgium, but my wife's a Michigander and we live in Macomb Township.

Hi all! I've been mostly lurking on the forum now, looking for advice on equipment and brewing in general. My wife and I only started about a month or so ago with one of the Brooklyn 1 gallon kits. I've always been interested in brewing but never really made the leap until my wife bought...

I'm in! :)
