RAD. Just got my wife a cotton candy machine. Might have to try this.

cost on the gun safes?

Great looking build, but I have lots of questions Total cost minus the $30 box and $110 pump and QD's? Any plans to splash proof the outlets or switch any more? Can you show an inside pic? How much storage is available for other brew day goodies? I want to see it loaded up! I wonder if...

Subscribing to this one as well. And you are just north of me?!?!? Any chance you can LMK when your next brew day is? Ill be cleaner/sanitizer helper for a walkthrough on your process :)

Great thread. Subscribed. If any of you make your own threads, please link them here too!

All - I completely agree that fermenting in barrel is likely a disaster.. the lack of headspace, the blow off, and the lack of alcohol to prevent bacteria are all really good reasons not to do primary in the barrel. However, I have at most 40 gallons of capacity in glass and plastic...

We have four barrels from California that held red wine. American White Oak, medium char. Used 3-4 years or so. They have been empty for some time, so the cleaning and rinsing is going to take some time :) We would be brewing on two 10 gallon systems, likely a full day of brewing to get...

Just finished kegging this. Split 10 gallons into 65/60F fermentation and 8 gallons at TX room temp 72-75. I kegged: 5g of cold ferm 5g of warm ferm 3g of cold ferm I oaked 4g of warm ferm + 1g of cold ferm blended Ill keg the oak barrelled one in a week. This will net me three beers for our...

3 years later, great link. Thanks.

awesome!

1) Hit 200 gallons in 2012. I didn't make this goal this year. 2) Enter at least 3 competitions. I entered my first this year, and took second place :) 3) Finish my indoor kegerator build. I was forced to play hurry up to get the outside one ready for the wedding, and the keezer is really...

soak in a cleaner/hot water mix use a credit card (I use sample ones from spam mail) to scrape anything remaining.

Hey all, I have been putting off kegging a batch because I've been a little sick and am coughing pretty often. My wife thinks that as much time as I spend sterilizing things that it would be fine. However, now I am not sure. I presume cooks/kitchen folk work pretty often a little under the...

Agree with most that 3 fonteine, cantillon, and Russian River are amazing. I know a thing or two about Supplication.

one of the most interesting recipes I do regularly. It's an AHS recipe http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=12511

Great thread. I find most pumpkins to be nothing more than a spiced beer, which I am not as big a fan of. I want PUMPKIN flavor, not cinnamon and nutmeg beer!

4.5 hours or so on 10 gallon all grain batches. Typically 60 minute mash, 30-45 sparge, 60 minute boil. Plate chiller bought me a solid HOUR of spare time. 5 gallon batches were about four hours... highly recommend upping batch size to make more beer in almost the same time to anyone who...

I am using the "Thunderstruck" pumpkin ale here as a basis, but I am differing up some of the grain bill. I am also planning on pumpkin in mash as well as boil to really try to layer that flavor into the beer. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f76/thunderstruck-pumpkin-ale-ag-extract-versions-26699/

I try to do stir plate for 2 days prior to brew day. When I see bigger chunks of yeast in the plate, I know the colony has grown (they werent there before) and they are starting to flocculate. Then, I take off the stir plate and fridge for about 8-10 hours before pitch time. This allows me to...
