8lb wheat malt 2lb munich malt 1lb roasted barley i have about 2lbs of dark malt extract. hops i have are, 1oz of each: liberty ,perle, tettnang and saaz yeah, they were out of crystal and 2-row. I have 2 packs of general brewing yeast, and a liquid vial of German ale/kolsch yeast. I was...

greets, i just couldn't stay away. after sanitizing my gear I had to make another trip to the local Homebrew shop and pickup 10 lbs of 2-row and make another brew. basically, I knew I made many mistakes on sunday doing the trappist ale and figured why not just make another brew properly so if...

lol

negative? mind telling me what exactly you think is negative about what you read? heresay, maybe, but negative? be specific..and thanks for the spelling lesson. remember though, this is a board on brewing, not a university about useless spelling..either form of the word is widely accepted, in...

very nice of u

i should've made a yeast starter. waiting on initial fermentation to begin, it should take place in about 4-5 hours (that makes the 24 hour mark for me) but I'm not seeing anything..no slight bubbles or any of that yet. hopefully I won't get too much of a lag time, (used white labs liquid yeast...

yeah, my next project will definately be converting my refridgerator outside to something like these. I've never seen one converted with taps on the outside til I clicked this thread. very innovative, I like!

wow..just wow..that's dedication

very nice fridge you got there bud. i plan to convert the refrigerator I have out in my shop to something like that. very impressive. id like to see some kind of thread with nothing but pics of nice looking custom fridges like that...that would be a nice thread to drink a beer and sift through.

well...if you've tasted great beer that was alum boiled, ill have to take your word for it that it doesnt affect the taste. makes sense economically too, especially for 15+ gallon batches. the big ss pots are a bit ridiculous price wise, i was looking at a nice 14 gallon one and it was 165.00....

agreed so youve always used aluminum? i might try a batch with my huge aluminum pot then

Interesting, I've never done it personally..but figured the 10 or more articles I read saying not to use aluminum couldn't be wrong. http://www.arachnyd.com/david/brew-how.html http://www.houblon.net/article.php3?id_article=524 http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic....ff7e819990a308d...

greetings fellow brewer. just wanted to point something out. if I were you i'd just use the aluminum boiler for seafood, frying turkeys, etc. supposedly brewing in them makes the beer taste funny, to my knowledge. if it helps, I picked up a stainless steel 36 quart pot from a large sporting...

Greetings, This was my very first brew, I went all-grain, against the wishes of people at brewshops and even a couple people here. I'm not an Austrailian, nor do I live in that reigon; but I really appreciate this site, and because of a couple posters here, my brew came out better than I...

thanks for the recommendation, but it's pretty obvious I'm not in austrailia when you see me using lbs to measure things... but you're right, I'll for sure have a conversion table before I ask another q
