    Covering Your Boil - Oops?

    i thought about that with commercial/microbreweries. I never had the pot fully closed throughout the entire boil. Not once. I think it'll be okay. It was an AG recipe. I don't plan on covering even partially again. It was getting quite windy and chilly out near the end of the brew day, so i...

    Covering Your Boil - Oops?

    Last night was my first time brewing outdoors on a propane burner. As the sun started to set, i worried a bit about two things. - Bugs deciding to land in the wort - Heat Loss (outside temp was dropping quick) I had my lid on PARTIALLY (steam was still escaping) i know that most people...

    Bought New Burner - Not Hot Enough?

    I think i should be alright then. This one has an adjustable regulator and at full blast is pretty loud and produces a nice blasting blue flame. Maybe i'll test it this week and plan a brew day cheers :mug:

    Bought New Burner - Not Hot Enough?

    havent had the chance to yet :P figured id check and see if anyone had used this burner first. I have brewed 5 gallon batches on my stove top before with no issue (except it taking forever to boil), so i assumed that nearly any outdoor burner would work better (faster)

    Bought New Burner - Not Hot Enough?

    I recently purchased this burner from the local walmart. It look exactly like an SQ14 burner and it said that it was "Perfect for boiling" so i figured it would be great. Sturdy and well crafted it seems but i'm worried it wont put out enough heat to boil 6 gallons. I cant find specs for the...

    Post your infection

    yeah, looks like floating hop material (did you dry hop??) or just floating krausen remains/trub whatnot i think it should be fine

    Just wanted to say THANK YOU

    I started brewing about 1.5 months ago, jumped right into all grain with the help of you guys on this forum. My beers have all turned out really great. Attached are picture of an Irish Red, American Red and my Vanilla Coffee Bean Blonde Ale. All of then are all grain. Wouldn't have been able to...

    Dividing Up A 5 Gallon Kit

    eh, right now it's more so to practice my process and dial in any reoccurring errors. So brewing the same beer 5 times in a row would actually be somewhat ideal.

    Dividing Up A 5 Gallon Kit

    It's an all grain kit I do believe. I already store hops in my freezer with no issue. And yes I would mix the grains well and decide by 5 Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Dividing Up A 5 Gallon Kit

    I'm currently brewing small batches (1 Gallon) and refining my process. My LHBS has 5 Gallon Northern Brewer ingredient kits. I'm assuming i could buy this kit and divide this up and brew 5 separate 1 Gallon batches without an issue. Would there be any issues with doing this?

    Consistently Missing The Mark

    There are a lot of variables here, and i'm aware that changing more than one at a time doesnt make it easy to narrow that down to one simple solution, but this list of possibilities definitely helps. I may just need to be more careful with my temps

    Consistently Missing The Mark

    Consistently Missing The Mark

    I do a mash with 1.5 quarts of water per lb of grain after mash out, i pull the grain bag above the kettle and let it drain in a strainer, sparge with enough 170 degree water to get to 2 gallons by pouring it evenly over the grain bag in the strainer. After the boil i'm left with my 1 gal batch
