This guy uses like plastic snack bags and heat/melt seals the ends

Yea I've bought those from him before too. But after opening smelt good still and didn't notice any weird flavor from them? But yes little scketchy I just stay away from those ones lol

Indeed an addiction, but the good kind lol

Well it siphoned out of the secondary into my keg(first time kegging!!!) And force carbonated it and poured a glass since I was so excited. Besides it being flat still and really green tasting, it tasted awesome with good color! Has not yesty/extracty taste that the last beers I've brewed have...

Going to go buy grains tomorrow. You guys said Taylor's pantry has grains but won't crush them for you?

^^^^ haha just rehearse it a few times and it'll sound believeable

Yea I think I know who your talking about at Taylor's pantry. Yes definitely check out Stein's. Hes always giving discounts on products or throwing in free things. I got grain bags free last time I was there and a rubber stop for my glass carboy. Just little things but its nice for the thought.

I prefer steins and veins by far. I've been to both and honestly didn't even know Taylors had grains. But at steins and veins the owner Russ is really cool and super smart. And as far as prices they seem normal.

I didn't even think about the temp when taking my first reading..oops. And the local homebrew store had a grinder where I dropped the grains in the a metal funnel looking thing and had to metal rollers at the bottom with not much space between each other and a electric drill attached to one...

Finally product. Looks good to me! Ha

Well first all grain I'm not sure of I'm doing it all correctly but what I've read and seen it seems I am. The homebrew store in my town,the owner was gone today when I went to get my grains, so I crushed them myself and found/measured them out not knowing what I was doing really but after...

OG before boil is 1.010 so I'm hoping for around 1.046 OG so after about a 90 minute boil it might be close. Just check after the 90 minute boil? And if its in range after 90 minutes then do I got to add hops then and boil for 60 minutes? Or should I add hops now?

Thanks for all the responses. Ya I gotta a little ballsy and am trying my first all grain at night PLUS I bought a nuwave induction cook top....long story short they suck and couldn't even get to like 120 degrees. That's why its taking so long but I shall push on lol

Sioux falls peeps...anyone get there stuff at steins and vines? If not where do you go?

Hey all so I'm currently doing my first all grain biab. I'm doing a cream ale style. Build 5# pale malt 2 row 2#pilsen 1.5#corn .5#barley flaked .5#caramel 20L .5#munich malt And attached is a pic of what it looks like 20 mins into steeping...looks really watery too me but maybe I'm just...
