Yeah its a 1gal all grain batch. I figured I would be good but better safe than sorry. I don't wanna ruin my Oatmeal Stout!

I tried a search for this and came up empty. If its out there point me too it. So will wort scorch at a rolling boil in which case I need to occasionally stir it or once it hits a rolling boil its good to go?

Thanks jmh, I did see that. Was really trying to figure out if I could get by with a 5gal HLT for use with a 10gal MLT

I couldn't find this anywhere so hopefully I didn't miss something somewhere. I have only done extract brewing so far and a couple small 1gal batches with specialty grains. I would like to step up to an all grain system but I've read that if you make a beer with a large gravity that the 5...

That's the same cooler that most brew supply companies sell so I would say yes. Most cooler conversions I see are on the Rubbermaid or Coleman coolers

Heres a lil 1 gal I did last night.

Kewl, thanks a lot. Im about 30 min out from putting my batch into the fermentor.

Sounds good, thanks a ton! Is there anything I can do to ensure the soap film is all gone? Boil water in it and empty it out a few times maybe. I dont have access to any brew type cleaner at the moment...

I dont even think I cleaned it before I boiled the water in it. I didnt clean it with bleach but I did use a touch of dish soap and rinsed it really good and sanitized it. Just wasnt sure if there was some coating that for some reason wore thru during the boiling. I do have another pot to use...

yeah, it doesnt come off.

So I bought a small 2gal SS pot for doin 1gal batches. I boiled some eggs in it the other day and I noticed these spots on the bottom. Is this okay still to brew in or is this pot shot?

okay will do thanks all

okay, so I have had my apfelwein goin for just over 3 weeks now and the fermentation has already petered out. It wont be a month in the carboy til Monday and its supposed to go for about 6weeks. Has anyone else had their yeast fade this early and if so do you think its good to bottle at this...

Its asking for oatmeal which is probably already broken down to where it needs to be I would think. Its a premium rcp they that Mr Beer designed so I would hope they have a clue. lol, stress on hope.

I'm chiming in kind of late but the labels look awesome.
