+5 pumpkin ale 5573

5G of a pumpkin spiced ale last night... racked into the fermenter around 1am. Getting ready to brew again this afternoon.

4 x Anvil stainless steel fermenting buckets

I agree, kegging made the biggest improvement to my day. Maybe not the best improvement ever to my overall beer (although it did reduce a lot of extra racking), but certainly improved my sanity.

One point I forgot to mention before, upgrading along the way will cost you more money. If you really want that better boil kettle, or that whatever cool gadget, spend the extra money upfront and be done with it, IMO.

This ^^^ Also, if you want dessert in a glass and you can find it, Maui Brewing's coconut porter is a rare treat.

I'm somewhere under $5k. I've never actually thought to stop and add it up. It wasn't all in one shot, like any hobby a little bit here, a little bit there. Quality isn't necessarily equal to the amount spent. Proper technique and sanitation is a must and will go much farther in producing...

My wife deals with it pretty well. She's gotten used to the hobby taking up more space than she would have liked (especially when I put a 4 corny kegerator in the TV room), and in return I remember to brew some styles that I know she likes. She's not really a "beer person" though, so I doubt...

Kolsch, Hefe's and Wit are all popular summer beers around here. I'm also planning on brewing a blonde this summer.

I suspect the OP is talking about the 75% N2 / 25% CO2 blend known as "Beer Gas", not CO2. (See: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/what-about-guinness-133649/ ) That said, I have no idea where to get it in Milwaukee. The best bet would be to call around to a couple of welding supply shops...

Mmmmmmmm.... I used to work about 5 minutes from GLBC and a good friend used to work for them. Good times. Worked out especially nice when a keg of Nosferatu or Dortmunder would find its way to the trunk of the car for a party, err "beer tasting..." :rockin:

You are a lucky man. Actually, my fiancee has been very understanding about the space I keep taking up between brewing equipment and the 4 corney kegerator. But she gets out of dodge on brew day. "Hey, it's your hobby, not mine." :)

The grain police are packing a little more fire power than expected these days...

Somewhere last summer I started w/ the 20 gallon days doing 4 five gallon extract kits per brewday. it certainly makes for a long day full of multitasking and I'm usually pretty wiped out after - but I do like only having to set-up and tear-down once. I've said repeatedly that once I make the...

I'm having a slow start to this year... 8498.5 +5 Double Chocolate Stout +5 Blue Moon Clone +5 Cream Ale +5 Irish Red 8518.5

Similar experience... was a Budweiser guy in the college days. Shortly after someone tossed me a Sam Adams Boston Lager and the rest was, as they say, history. Although some beers have been more influential since then. For example, Cantillon's gueuze really opened up my eyes to how a lambic...

Sounds like you're going to have a great trip. Here's a couple of my favorites from a trip some buddies and I took touring the Belgium countryside and visiting breweries. Cantillon - If you were going in the fall, they have an "open brew day" where they let the general public come in and watch...

On the chilled ones, the gush went away, but the really nasty taste didn't. Bottles all are brushed, washed in PBW and air-dried. Then rinsed with star-san on the day of bottling. (Actually, I fill my bottling bucket with star-san, then dunk all the bottles and hang them on the previously...
