    Propane Tank vs Environment

    So I have a brew session planned for tonight and it is currently 17 degrees outside and it is forecasted to be 12 tonight. The propane tank is outside right now..

    Kinda bummed.. Forgot the whirfloc

    Brew day went well (after I replaced the propane tank) and I nailed the OG. Pitched US-05 and within 12 hours it was happily fermenting and bubbling up a storm. Today (3 days later) I went to check on it and found I forgot to use the whirlfloc to clarify the beer. While I'm not worried that...

    Steeping Question

    Started an extract batch about an hour and a half ago. I put the steeping bag in and it's still not at 155 degrees... It's in a turkey fryer with 5 gallons of water. Not really sure why it's not raising temp faster than it is. It's an extract recipe and the grains are 1.5 lbs of Crystal 15L...
