Did you just throw the grapefruit and orange in whole or where the cut?

Thanks for the read! I definitely feel better about it. There was krausen on all 3 and it's fallen now. I'll probably add the cocoa nibs around Saturday, depending on the gravity readings

I brewed a chocolate stout on Saturday after 2 1/2 years since my last batch. My brewday could have been better. I made a 3 gallon batch to split into 3 one gallon carboys. I ended up losing .5lb of 2-row malt by trying to get it into the bag by myself while standing. Anyways, I cooled it to...

I just built this chiller today. Did anyone have a problem with the A-660 swivel adapter leaking?

I'm just starting too and did a lot of looking around to get the most bang for my buck. One thing to keep in mind is LHBS. I don't know where you are, but I found a better deal locally than what I was about to buy online.
