I think I may have been mixing up threads, but I know I saw someone use duct tape to hold insulation. Anyway, here's half of what I was thinking about. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/direct-fire-mlt-insulation-project-154652/

Somebody on here bought a piece of 1" insulation and sealed it against his MLT with duct tape. It wasn't regular fiberglass insulation though, something that frayed and came apart more easily. It sounds like a mess but turned out really well. I can't remember who it was, but there was a whole...

As soon as I read that recipe I wanted to try it. Maybe this will help? Let me know what you come up with. http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/15/how-to-make-a-cheap-portable-espresso-machine/

Thanks for the info, how about your bag, what did you make it out of?

http://twitter.com/businessofbeer The older stuff on his website is pretty interesting also but a month of posts about "Brewing Benevolence" have lost me.

I'm also trying to learn what's involved in brewing smaller batches, 2 gallons for me. I think Sivrat is right about the ease of the Brew In A Bag method. It will require the least amount of equipment and can save a bit of time when it comes to cleaning. If Sivrat is still following this...

Great site, about a year ago they linked to a post on homebrewing. http://lifehacker.com/5162653/homebrewing-beer-to-save-money

I think a lot of us have wondered about the possibility, glad you enjoyed.

Thought I would pass along an interesting article on Nanobreweries I came across for anyone who might be interested. There's some good comments below the article as well. http://www.topfermented.com/2010/01/06/startup-starting-small-the-nanobrewery-concept/

Never seen it at my Costco, but then again I have never looked. Looks like others have tried it though. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/21516/48555

I'll third the auto siphon and add a long spoon if doing full boils. All I had for my first batch was a plastic ladle and although it did the job, a nice long stirring spoon works much better.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Nice. Thanks for the help, my mind started to panic last night about the taste being to strong or the orange peels getting moldy, or any other number of problems from leaving the bags in there. You recommend leaving everything the way it is for the next week before bottling then?

Yes I added the first bag with just orange peel to the boil with 15 mins left, then the second bag with orange peel and coriander to the boil with 5 mins left. I cooled and dumped the whole thing into the primary. Sealed it up and let it sit for the past week.

First post, been on here reading past threads and learning for a while now so I want to say thank you to all who have helped me already without knowing it. Brewed my first batch 11/8 and its been fermenting since. Over the weekend I started worrying that I may have ruined my first batch by...
