    Well I have been gone for probably 2 years now, but I am back in to brewing and this is the first place I went. It looks like the community has grown.. This is great.

    Gotten any cool equipment lately?

    I ain't worried about the prettiest pictures. I just want to see a semi pro(haha) setup that you talk about. Just starting out seeing some of the equipment in action would be great. I am just trying to figure out how to get my wort chiller to work and where to run the water off to.

    Buying a new boiling pot...

    Well I picked one of these up at lunch today. This will be a nice upgrade from my 7.5 gal aluminum kettle. Now I should be able to do a entire 5 gallon batch with less worry of a boil over. It is propane.

    Homebrew Supply Websites

    kegs

    I am just starting to do kegs and so far it seems very easy. There is a little price at first but not that bad if you look around. I found 1 keg at the dump and got a 5lb CO2 can from a friend. I did look around at prices since eventually I will have to give the CO2 can back. At my local HBS...

    Dry yeast & Hot Water

    The wort smelled fine but there was still no activity tonight so I pitched the vial of yeast. It was in a carboy with a airlock so I don’t see any contamination happening. I pitched the yeast and mixed it up a bit, we will see tomorrow if the activities start.

    Am I just paranoid.

    I was laughing reading your post. Thinking back to the first batch that I did and was so worried if I did everything correctly. Don’t worry a bit. There is hardly anything ever wrong with the first batch since every thing is clean and only needs to be sanitized.

    Question on cooling the wort.....

    I have a 7 gallon brew pot and had it overflow the one time I brewed the entire batch at once. There seems to be a “big foam” after adding the hops that is uncontrollable for the first 5 – 10 minutes. When I do the 3 gallon boil the foam does not get close to an overflow. Also I start with...

    Dry yeast & Hot Water

    I think I screwed up big time here. I got the wort already and was going to rehydrate some dry east from a kit of coopers. But when I rehydrated the yeast the water was almost at boiling temperature. I know that I have killed the yeast but wanted to ask here to make sure. This was all done last...

    Question on cooling the wort.....

    Janx, hopefully I am understaning your right. Is it better to boil all the water with hops, malt, ext all at once? Ususally I make my wort with 3 gallons and have 2 gallons preboiled that is cold. Just a note also, I have city water and would never use it without boiling it first. To much...

    CO2 bottle in refrigerator

    From what everybody says, it confirms what I think. There should not be a problem. The only concern I have thought about is the copper and contraction with lower temperatures causing the bottle to leak. Also from scuba tanks I don’t see a tank exploding. I have had 100 cubit foot tanks in the...
