Price drop, $200...

It's physicalat media and ithe have installed it, but on a computer without internet. Not sure if that matters... im selling the entire kit as a whole, sry indytruks138. I have a feeling it's gonna be pretty hard to sell this kit, even though almost everything is still in the boxes they were...

I have $600 worth of home brewing equipment and most of the items have never been used and the equipment i have used,i only used once. I started with a $170 starter kit and continued to upgrade everything to make the process as easy as possible. It also include the book "the complete joy of home...

No, He was talking about ales. At the end of the article he talks about how lagers use twice as much yeast then ales. Yeah, i'm sure i'll be alright with 2 packs. The yrasts website says it's made for high abv brews from 8.5-12.5%. Thnx for the advice.

K, I just realized I made it more complicated then it is. Fermentis' website says there are 60 billion yeast cells per packet. The byo magazine says I need around 500 billion for a brew with an OG of 1.080. So I should need 8 packets. Does that sound like way too much?

I am brewing a 5 gal batch, chili rye iipa with an OG around 1.080 and an abv around 7.7%. My original plan was to make a starter with 1 pack of safbrew t-58 and pitch another pack in the primary. Then I received my byo mag in the mail and an article said for an OG of 1.080 you need around 500...

Alright Thnx for the help guys, I guess I'll just try and be patient...

So I bottled my first batch 2 weeks ago and primed it using 5 oz of priming sugar (desolved in 8 oz of warm water). Last week I opened one of the bottles and there was zero carbination. I realized it was only 59 degrees in my closet so i shook the bottles a bit, rapped them in a banket and used...

Wow, hopville was spot on with what the recipe says the OG should be when set at 5.2 batch size! The only problem I have with it is that it has the IBU's really low (around 32). I was hoping it would be around 60-70... here's the recipe: Northern brewers Denny's wry smile rye 5.2 gal...

Alright, I've used hopville before, I just wasn't sure of it's accuracy but 3 recommendations in a row is good enough for me. Thnx guys!

I don't own a computer so I can't get beersmith, so the only access I have for a recipe calculator online with my phone. I was wondering which one you guys think is the most accurate. I've tried a couple and can never get consistent numbers so I never know which one is right...

I'm not sure what the corn sugars for, it's in the kit and the recipe tells me to put it in at the beginning of the boil with the first addition of the malts. I just read on another forum that someone adds a tablespoon of all purpose flour to the last 10 mins of the boil and his wheat beers stay...

The reason I want it cloudy is because I basically want a hef but with rye instead of wheat... and when I buy a hef I expect it to be cloudy.

I am making northern brewer's Denny's wry smile rye ipa. I want it to be cloudy so I'm adding 1 lb of rye flakes and I have a couple question about it... will using rye flakes give me the cloudy effect I'm after? Is it ok to just steep the flakes with the other specialty grains and if not, what...

I c, thnx. I guess I'll have to just be happy with 50 ibu's... sucks cuz I scaled back my original plan of: 2 oz Chinook (60), 1.5 cascade (15), 1.5 simco (5) thinkin it was gonna be too high and now it's too low...

Sry for my noobness, what's LME?

I'm trying to find out what my IBU's will be on my first batch. Tastybrew calculated it at 82.3, brew calculus said 43.3, and I got 75 using the equation in The joy of homebrewing... I can't seem to get a consistant number and I was wondering if you guys can tell me what you think it will be...

This post helps me out a lot cuz I've been rackin my brain for a week about the banana nut porter I wanna make and whether to use real bananas/chips/extract and when to add it in. I would just wait it out if I were you and if you don't like it, use the extract next time. Someone posted a banana...
