Rent it to an Extract brewer or someone who want's to go AG. Payment in beer. That's how I got into AG. I was lent the gear to brew while I slowly gathered my own gear. I paid rent on the gear by supplying the owner with beer when I could (about a 6pack a week). It's a good way to get other...

that's it in a nutshell. if you like malt driven beers, NC will work and I think gives you a deeper more complexed flavour. If you like hop driven beers, or a nicely balanced beer, get a chiller.

No problems, PM me with any questions if you want. I don't visit here too often anymore.

I ended up doing quite a few NC beers with 10min additions, all cube hopped additions, 60 40 20min bittering additions and the rest in the cube. out of all of them there was one i was kind of happy with: 20L Batch 94.3% pale 5.7% Caramunich 1 200g of cascade in the cube London ale III #1318...

Orrrrrrr, You could go to K-Mart and grab a $15 pasta machine. then you can throw a drill bit into your drill, throw it into reverse and take big chunks out of the rollers for knurling then you can cut off the handle so your drill will fit on it and mill some grain. This is Wheat, straight...

It's like one big SuperDry commercial...

Nath, You're not mixing chemicals here, it's a home brew kettle. if you're 50ml\100ml\200ml out it's not going to matter much. Hot or cold, it's irrelevant in this situation. get a few 1L measuring jugs\containers. fill one to the 1L mark, and pour it into the next one, does it measure 1L? the...

Matches real well with the question though.

Simple, change your sanitiser. palettes are very much individual, we all taste things slightly different and you might be able to detect this more than others. Dont use it again and go for some starsan if you're after something more commercial. Never used KK sanitiser, I use bleach and vinegar BF

What batch size? 140g of cane sugar isn't too bad for a standard 23L batch aiming at about 2.4 volumes of co2 for a brown ale, possibly wind that back to 2.0 volumes which would be somewhere around 90g. in the future, use this: http://webspace.webring.com/people/ms/sirl...Calculator.html...

how are you priming and with what are you priming with? bulk prime measuring scoop kegging more info needed also, there is nothing I like more than a good yeasty fart to fire up the dutch oven just saying BF

I *THINK* it's because the bag is pliable. using the basket around the perimeters allows the hops to roll with the boil. A bag would restrict and bunch the hops up.

dont_make_me_scoff! :ph34r: :lol:

Not really, i think that would hold no more benefiet than a hop sock. The idea is to have the "basket" as close to the walls and bottom of your vessel as possible. This would contain your hops while still allowing them to float around the wort freely. I was also thinking about a finer mesh on...

or not <_<

.071 mm hole size is suitable for pellets apparently, you will get some going out of the hopster, but nothing that would clog your chiller. cleaning would be just dumping the hops and hitting it with a hose. probably easier to clean than a hop sock. BF

I'm going to make me a hopster...

I love it when you type in french

So getting closer to buying these now So what's the go, threaded ones or the barbs? I like the idea of the threads as im thinking of getting cam locks to screw on, but the barbed ones seem simpler. Thoughts?
