Mash! the urn kept a perfect 67~ degree temp, I set the thermostat and checked with a digital thermo... it went perfectly Urn kept a nice rolling boil for a full 60 min duration, after all of this was done, I had about 20~ liters that I transferred into a cube. The cube has some air/head...

excellent. this reassures me! :) I will take a lot of notes, not bad doing an all grain for my 3rd brew!!! I'm super excited!, I also have a crown 40ltr urn with a concealed element

I mail ordered my grain bill, shipping was like $12... hey, still cheaper than a kit! I won't be buying bulk yet, I don't have anything yet that's air tight to store large amounts of grains

It just clicked and wandered... I adjusted the grain bill for 1.050 but i just remembered that I'm adding 450g of honey. how much will 450g of honey effect my gravity? should i re-adjust for the original grain bill which was slightly less in quantities? I've already ordered my grains, but...

well guys, due to no edit post... I have to double post. I ran brewmate, put in my ingredients as per the conversion and put in how much i want to yield and what I want to aim for in an original gravity. (1.050) and it adjusted my quantities. 4.8kg x Briess 2 Row 150g x Dingemans Biscuit 150g...

Thanks guys! :) I'm at work atm, but I'll check when I get home!

Hello fellow brewers!... after much research and etc, I have come to the conclusion that after a few brews the best path to take is getting to all grain ASAP. after further research in all grain and going to a grain and grape demo of a BIAB I feel I'm ready to tackle a BIAB. gear = 40 litre...

screwtop, are you suggesting that my beer may actually be finished fermenting just with a high gravity? at 1.019? interesting!... well, i could bottle it and store it in a place where if it does bottle bomb, it will not damage or soil anything. then i can begin my Grain and Grape wort. edit...

dammit i just tipped it... and rinsed out my test tube... what I've done in the mean time. I moved the fermenter into my office under my desk. its now on carpet (still on the heater pad with the probe stuck to it) but its now out of the laundry and away from the tile floor. i gave it a swirl...

it has been in the fermenter for 3 weeks, its a cascade imperial voyage pale ale, brew enhancer #15 and the included yeast in the kit/can lid I left the sample to sit for another 2 hours same gravity reading and there is a lot of sediment in the tube.

Hey guys, Heth here! I've done another test now since giving the fermenter a twist to dislodge the yeast and it is still at 1.019.... so my question to you guys! can i pitch a coopers yeast? my friend has heaps of them and said i can have one. I don't believe the fermentation is finished and...

ok, results from the weekend... I tested in a glass of water... 1.000~1.001 at room temp water (20 degrees cel) I took a sample and threw it back and forth between glasses 20 or so times (kinda lost count) and then tested and i got back about 1.018... And i spun the hydro in the sample too to...

cool! I will do this tonight. and report back my findings! thanks to everyone for the help so far! is very much appreciated!

how do i do this degassing you talk off?

I'm happy to wait! I planned on letting it age in the bottle for like 6 weeks anyway. when i make my stout I'm going to age it for 3 months + I have a leather bound journal i purchased in a small town in Ireland in 2008 that I've never had a use for until now, So I'll bet taking tasting...

I have a kit can of cascade imperial voyage pale ale, I used the included yeast I'll try that technique when measuring. I'll sit back, give it a tickle and relax, don't worry and have a home brew.

degassed? I'm not sure. I lifted the fermenter onto the table and let it sit for a few mins... I turned the tap and took a sample, during this i did not remove the airlock from the top. after taking the sample I let the sample sit on the bench for about 5 minutes to let the bubbles disappear...

Thanks I'll try this! I couldn't find the delete button on my original post, I'm new to this forum! I'll sanitize my spoon tonight and give it a tickle, I'll check the hydro in a glass of water too. my next brew is probably going to be a full grain fresh wort 17 litre bottle from Grain and...

Hey everyone!. I've been a craft beer drinker for a long time and only just recently decided to take my hand up in home brewing. on easter weekend (friday the 29th of March) I did my first home brew extract kit. I used a cascade pale ale extract can with brew enchancer #15 and a small tea bag...
