Just got back from a trip to Belgium. I had my Oktoberfest, which I brewed 8/19, in primary while I was gone. I don't have a thief to pull a sample and check the gravity to see how low it has dropped. My question is, do you think it is too late for a diacytle rest? I was reading that it says to...

I would love to have one of these!

So I don't drain until after I add the sparge water?

So I am about to do my first all-grain batch and I need a little clarification on the directions I got with the ingredients. They read as follows: Time Step 2 min- Mash in; Mash in 4.38 gal of water at 161.4F 75 min- Hold mash at 150.0F for 75 min 2 min- Mash out...

With christmas coming up, I look forward to seeing what everyone gets. I'm sure there will be some nice new eye candy getting posted.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I will use it for my boil kettle and keep my eyes open for straight sided kegs.

I'm not one for drugs so I stick to Gatorade and a big bowl of pho or pozole, depending on the severity of the hangover. So good!

I can't wait to see how the inside is going to turn out. Great job so far!

Subscribed. I will be having some wonderful dreams tonight now.

Yeah this is what it did. That makes me feel a lot better now. I will just have to pour slowly like someone suggested. I did notice on the second bottle, it wasn't nearly as carbonated when it went into the glass. This one was also much colder though. Could temperature have an affect on...

Oh S*&t this has me rolling! That's pretty funny.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. If I end up having to dump towards the end of the batch that's fine. I already have another batch in secondary and a third waiting to be brewed once equipment frees up.

It's a red ale recipe I got from the local HB shop. I am assuming it is infected because there is about a dime size of white matter at the bottom of that glass. I could be wrong though.

and I am pretty pleased with it. I'm kinda bummed that it's a little infected but it doesn't have any bad tastes too it. Maybe a little oily but I can live with that. :rockin:

Thanks. I had never really considered aluminum but looking at the prices, I think I will do a little more research into it. Worst comes to worst, I could buy an aluminum one to use for now and later on buy stainless if I'm not happy and retire the aluminum to a HLT.

I was finding decent prices on amazon.

Awesome. Thank you.
