It seemed to work just fine. Cooled it down in about 8 minutes in mid July

Cincinnati has BBL (Bloatarian Brewing League) I think this is the only homebrew club in my area.

Bubbling away nicely in the fermenter. I need to get a sticker thermometer for the side of the bucket. I don't think this probe is giving accurate readings that low... My AC unit in my apartment is set to 68 and it hasn't been running for a while. The Yeast is Munton's dry Brewer's yeast.

Hey everyone! I just finished up with my very first brew day and figured I'd talk about it here and show pictures. I do have some questions/concerns that didn't arise until I was in the act of doing something... so here goes. This is an extract kit that I purchased from Midwest Supplies...

Best price I could find around for what I'd call an 'all inclusive' kit. Literally comes with every single thing you need to brew your first batch, and then you've got a week or so to get ahold of 60 bottles. I planned mine ahead and started saving bottles early so this was no problem. The...

All of the items were purchased at my local Lowe's Here is the exact copper I purchased.

Hey guys and gals! In anticipation of my first ever brew day coming up next Saturday, an important piece of equipment I was missing was an immersion chiller. For around $35 bucks and 30 minutes, I made my own. Shopping List: 1 - 20ft coil of 3/8" OD copper coil. - $14.41 1 - 6ft 3/8" ID...

I don't know from experience yet but I'd much rather be safe than sorry, I'd REALLY hate to pour out 5 gallons of beer...

Can you post a picture of your cart? I'm going to be brewing in my small one-bedroom apartment and i'm wondering how on earth i'm going to organize all the equipment.

Hey guys, I just wanted to put this out here as a friendly warning to anyone looking to purchase a starter kit. A lot of starter kits out there are missing what I understand to be a very important item.... sanitizer! I ordered the Platinum Pro Starter Kit from Midwest Supplies and looking...

Pretty sure! I've been doing tons of research getting ready for this moment. Still have some more reading to do! Who doesn't love a little brew in their life! :tank:

Wooohooo!!! Nice surprise when checking my e-mail this morning and saw that Midwest had the fathers day starter package back in stock. Placed my order and should be on my doorstep early next week! I'm so excited it's ridiculous! Now weekend project will be a DIY Immersion Chiller, wish me...

After my wife and I split last summer... I was left with a lot of debt that I didn't realize we had collected. I'm using brewing as a way to save money and just for fun. So, I don't mind getting quality equipment, as long as it's justified by it's expansion ability in the future. I've learned...

I haven't looked much into BIAB. I've currently been reading 'How to Brew' By John Palmer. Just trying to get a good idea of exactly what I'm getting myself into. I've done some reading on the /r/homebrewing and some reading on here. I'm really looking for a cheap route to get started the right...

The biggest concern I have with moving to AG, and using larger pots in general. Is that I live in an apartment with electric stove. I'm worried that the electric stove will have a hard time bringing such a large pot to a boil. Eventually I may end up getting a propane burner and using outside...

Right Here. $79.99 but with 20% off and free shipping comes out to $63

To start I plan to do extract kits. In which case I was under the impression I'd only be boiling approx 2.5~3 gallons of water for a 5 gallon batch. I figured a 5 gallon pot wasn't big enough.

Hey guys! I'm getting ready to start purchasing equipment for homebrew. I've been doing tons of research and just trying to get all my ducks in a row before I spend money poorly. I've got an online coupon for Bed, Bath, and Beyond for 20% off. I can get a Bayou Classic SS 36qt pot for $63...

Good to know Vamp, I was kinda wondering about that since they have their homebrew stuff kinda tossed into a back corner. I'll try to get down to BrewMonkeys one day next week. :)
