    The End of Craft Beer

    Nice read but as Sam said we'll see who's left at the end of the fight. Most breweries will sell out and the real Brewers will be here in the end.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Brewing a stout with my own addition of pumpkin spice, pretty excited haven't brewed a pumpkin beer yet. The key for me is not to over do the pumpkin. I want the pumpkin taste to be subtle.

    Starsan in dishwasher?

    thanks yeah thats what I ended up doing.. I soaked bottles in oxyiclean for 10hrs (while I was at work) to de-label the bottles. Worked great.. Then I ran them through the dishwasher twice (no soap) just to really clean them.. Then just before bottling I dipped each bottle in a 5 gallon bucket...

    2.5 gallon batch Help!!

    I ended up brewing the whole 5 gallons. I felt with it being my first partial mash that I should get the hang of it first before I start manipulating recipes. So far it is a very active fermentation, I am excited to bottle this beer.

    Starsan in dishwasher?

    I am going to put my flip tops through the dishwasher, of course without the tops. Now my question is how to sanitize the inside of the bottles. Is a star San solution used with a turkey baster the lease expensive methoD? And is it still as effective as buying the vinator bottle sanitizer machine?

    Turkey fryer or stainless steel pot

    Ok so buy a burner and stainless pot separate. Yeah in a couple videos I watched that seems to be a popular choice.

    Turkey fryer or stainless steel pot

    As the title says. Do you guys prefer turkey fryers or stainless steel pot on the stove? It seems that fryers are much cheaper than buying a 7-10 gallon stainless steel pot. I will be brewing my first partial mash in two weeks (5 gallon batch) and would really like to make a one time...
