Gremlyn1 - Brewpot is 8 gallons.. boil volume was a little over 6 gallons.

For the first time I cooked a batch on my back porch using the side burner on my grill.. It was SLOOOOOOOW to heat up. when it finally did, the much anticipated hot-break boil over never happened. Is the hot break nevessary? It was a batch of braggot 6 lb British pale 2 row 3/4 lb...

Nope.. no glue involved :) Now Im scouring around for an easy all grain recipe to get ingredients for tomorow..

Open for criticisms.. made this out of the original seal from the cooler, a cpvc male adapter and a ball valve.. manifold was made using 5 feet of cheap cpvc and about 12 fittings. Total bill under $15 dollars!! This will be my first all-grain batch. I haven't cut slots yet, but understand...

Ive always said "theres no need to re-invent the wheel" and always seek learning from others ..

I understand that the lower temperatures will get rid of the banana flavor, but I have wondered if over pitching the yeast would accomplish the same thing.. correct me if Im wrong , but doesn't the bananna/bublegum flavor come from the esters produced as the yeast multiplies? it seems if we...

Hellertauer hops with wlp300 ~5.5aa

Alright thanks guys.. and thanks for the cross-ref chart.. Im sure my temp was a little too high, Im sure it will be drinkable when I finally pop a top.. one last newbie question... as Im sure everyone does, I love the yeast in the bottom of my paulaner bottle.. When these homebrews are...

perfect... another curve ball in my new batch.. The fermenter (the batch with 3068) WAS sitting in an empty bathtub, so I have since filled it up with water and draped a towel over, it ambient in the room is 73.. Its probably too late to make a difference but will definitely shoot for a...

Sounds neat.. goggling it as we speak.. how often do you need to repack the ice/ice packs, 2 times a day?

Thanks for the replies. I have a batch brewing at 72 again right now with the wyeast 3068. I did notice that the bathroom where it is fermenting also smells like bananas.. If this batch (5days fermenting) comes out the same, I can rule out the wlp300, and nudge the temp down. It sounds...

Also I fermented at 72... I know there is a discussion as to if the temp effects the clove/bananna taste.. But it looks like that is just an old-wives-tale

I just brewed my first batch - I chose a LBS's hefe recipe... It called for WLP320 yeast but they were out and they substituted the WLP300 and said it would produce a similar beer.. Bottled last night and snuck a glass to taste and it had an overbearing Banana taste.. after reading I found...

Pauli and Franzakander are MY drinks with Erdringer and julis Echter in a close second, and was wondering if this recipe can be accomplished by a first time brewer.. Or should I start out with something more generic? Im still in the reading/researching phase Thanks :D
