Me and my grand father both have a camp chief explorer. We will use these for the mash ton and the wart pot. There not strong enough to to get a rolling boil at 10 gallons. But plenty for getting it to 170.

First picture did not want to upload here it is. I'm on my phone and don't know how to rotate. I'm sorry.

UPDATE. I went to my brew store and had a conversation. I orders every thing I need to do a 3 pot brewing system. It will handle 5gallon batches very easy. 10 gallon batches is what it's designed for. They are building me the whole system from scratch for just under $1000. Before I give them...

I have no clue really. This was out of no where. I thought about it over night and I think I'm going to talk to him about just doing a couple 5 gallon batches at a time like you suggest. I still have a lot to learn about brewing.

I started in that. Then upgraded to the bigger pot so I can eventually to all grain batches

He is going to help me brew everything. He just wants me to go out of my comfort zone and research and get everything we would need. He wants me to learn on my own and correct as we go. I completely understand his reasoning.

I don't know how many of you keep up with my few posts. But I have brewed 2 batches of coopers real ale. All extract. One can lme. One bag dme. I let my grandfather taste them. He judges beers at festivals/fairs things like that. He tells me that it's very good for my first batches and is...

How much Irish moss for a 5gallon batch. Wort is boiling on the stove right now and my dog just ate my paperwork with instructions. Add at last 15minutes also right?

They told me that I should start with all grain. I don't need to cool my wort befor adding yeast. I tried to have them explain the whole process of brewing. And they almost refused. Told me I shouldn't keg for the first time brewer. Just little things that as I read this sites forums. Are not...

If this is how it is suppose to look. Then disregard. I've been told by my brew store it's suppose to be clearer. But they have been wrong on almost everything they've told me so far.

My first batch was pretty cloudy. How can I fix this? I did this batch pretty fast. 6days in fermenter. 6days in secondary. 7 days now in keg. If I let the glass sit over night. Yeast builds in the bottom. Before you tell me. I know I need to let it sit longer. the next batch I'm going to...

I'm in Tacoma Washington. I'm more than willing to buy anything someone would need to teach me. I do not shy from hard work either. GET THE WORD OUT!

I was thinking of using a camping cooler (new one). Is there anyway I can add a heater of sorts in it to keep it at a exact temp I need? Or is it just a pour boiling water in and cover?

Extremely helpful. I'm a very hands on type of person. Thank you so much! Now to just learn how to pre start? The yeast like he did

I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE QUOTE THING!! I'm learning! That would help me out tremendously. But I have no clue if anyone around me brews. I'm sure there are but I have no way to know

Wow. I want to thank everyone for their quick and helpful responses! I can't figure out how to quote on my phone so bear with me. Nothingrymeswithcurtiss. I don't understand the 9lb 2 row. I know what 9lbs is. But not 2 row. Boydster. I basically make tea with the grain? That's what I'm...

I have read the How to brew book. Cover to cover And I cannot for the life of me understand how to make an all grain wort. I don't know what it is. I have made several different meads. Show, plum, spiced etc. with no problem.I have made one Coopers Real Ale. From extract. And it turned out half...

This is my first batch. So I'm learning all the do and donts. I have several books that I'm reading. I didn't cool my wort down very fast after the hot break. I used 4 gallons of almost frozen water but it only brought it down to 105'. I had to let it sit several hours to cool to under 80'. I...

So I took my wort out of the fermenter and put it into a five gallon carboy to condition. But it didn't reach the opening at all. It's about 5-7 inches down from the top. The books I have say there should be as little air as possible during this proses. Should I add water to bring the level up...

I made a post yesterday about my brew blowing up in foam. Found the problem is it being to warm. I live in an apartment and don't have much space. But my grandfather is into brewing as much as I am and said I could use his garage. My question is. How do I make something to control the temp of...
