I am mashing just over 4 pounds of grain. Will my 10 gallon mash tun be too big for this? It is the big round yellow water cooler with false bottom.

So I brewed an all grain Wee Heavy. It came in at 1.104. Well honestly it isn't ALL grain. I thought my OG was going to be off, so I added in 1 pound of light DME, so I ended up over of where I wanted to be. This is a 3 gallon batch, and it goes a little something like this. 8# Crisp Pale...

I am trying to throw something together that the girl friend will drink. I am not looking to crak out the mash tun, and am looking to use a few things I have on hand. I thought of using the below: 3# Pilsen DME 3# Wheat DME 4 oz Carapils Hops: .75 cascade 60 .5 cascade 20...

So I have a starter of this going. I didn't research it too much prior to buying it. The 001 at the shop I was at had older dates on it, and this was a few week old vile. What I saw there said it was pretty similar, different attenuation rate, and I think fruitier. I figured I can run with...

So I am going to make an IPA with stuff on hand. Really not so much an IPA as a % will be wheat. I have 4# Crisp Pale 3# Briess Wheat DME This clocks in at 1.074 or so. I was going to make a small batch as my 2 gallon better bottle is empty, and it doesnt like to be empty (really what...

than forgetting about your grains in your mash tun for a week. Wow!

So I am going to brew sometime in the next 48 hours. I have the below. 2# Crisp Pale Malt 3# Briess Bavarian Wheat 12oz Crisp 45l Will probably use WLP001 I have these hops and am trying to decide which way to go. Thoughts? Hop Type Type Ounces Amarillo Leaf 2 Amarillo Pellet 8...

I have a leaky gas in poppet. When no gas is on it, if I shake the keg Soda comes out slowly (its the kids root beer keg). Will this cause gas loss or any issue as long as it is on gas? Or will this only be an issue if I pull it off of gas? Will the pressure from the gas in make it OK? It...

All the threads I see on this are about taking them apart, but when you first get a new one, and you want to scrub the inside well, what do you use? I did my oxyclean soaks, etc but my arm only fits in halfway up my forearm. How are you guys getting inside to scrub?

I need a new burner for a keggle, one that it will sit on right. The burner I have isnt too stable. Those with keggles, other than a blichmann, what are you using that it sits on stable? Thanks

I wish more homebrew shops would let you buy exact amounts the way brewmasters warehouse does. I am trying to find somewhere that does for some grains that aren't as easy to find, so many places want to do a pound or 8 ounces minimum. Its nice to throw a recipe into brew builder when they have...

I bottled tonight. It was a pale ale dry hopped with 3 ounces, 2 cascade and 1 centennial. When I opened the fermenter the smell overtook the room. Even my oldest who hates the smells of brew said "wow dad that smells really good, like oranges and citrus." Sample tasted great, I am really...

Would you bottle it? OK, I made a chocolate stout, a long long time ago. Initial fermentation was under ideal conditions. It is still in the PRIMARY, yes on the yeast cake. We are talking after wow 8 months??? So, dump it or keep it? I will say my answer may change if I get into it and...

They list their grain bill and hops used on their website, though not % or times. I have come up with this in the link. Anyone have any thoughts, especially about the grain bill part? I know based on their website these are the proper grains and hops. Any insight would be great. Hopville...

My brewing went excellent. I had an extract of the B3 Stout from morebeer.com. The brewing went well, I love how they package the malt extract. I strained out the hops with my new strainer from the LHBS and it in the fermenter and in temp control in record cooling time. THEN I turned...

Have a lot of hops about. Any thoughts on what this would all do together? 4# Weyermann Pale Ale 3.25# Briess GOLD LME 3# Golden Promise 2# Crisp Roasted Barley 12oz Simpsons Medium Crystal 8oz Aromatic Malt 3oz Warrior 60min 20z Northern Brewer 45 Min 1oz Centenial 40 Min...

Just wondering how long you take to do your sparge. Just trying to get an idea from a bunch of people to see where I come in at compared to the average. Thanks.

So last night I did a Janets Pale Ale partial mash. First I brought 2 gallons of water up to my temp, and tossed in my grains. It came in just above the 150 I wanted to be at, so I added a little more cool water to bring it down. I covered the pot, occasionally measured the temp, and...

So exactly how much water do you think a 3700 Watt induction burner could boil? Do you think it has a chance at 6.5 gallons?

So, I know many people have done this with no issue. It smells like **** though. My guess is sulfur, but it is long done fermenting. I tried to splash rack, I tried to get any gas out of it, and it still smells. I didnt use anything other than the juice and yeast. I was going to backsweeten...
