I had guests over so it had already been pitched for 5 hours when I realized and it was too late to reboil. I do have the ingredients for another 5 gallons that I was planning on making next time I had the time, but my kettle can only do 5gal batches since I biab.

So I tried to make my second all grain with this batch, and got done and pulled out my h hydrometer and it broke, so no readings. Also walked to get my chiller put away and saw my hops sitting on the table. So how can I get the hops in? I a 5 gal batch in a 7 gallon fermentor if it helps.

Id love that

Never woke up anywhere too bad, normally in bed with 3-4 female friends or in a recliner. But the first time I drank, my best freind and I knocked out a half gallon of Burnetts. I woke up with a busted chin from falling right on the rail while straddling the train tracks. We both weighed...

I don't have a kegging system so it'd be early for me to be designing tap handles for me too print. Love the modular design too. Are you running dual extrusion? If not are the letters inserts?

I had a similar experience with a 5# batch. Seems I remember reading somewhere in the thread that bigger batches tend to go a little sour.

I dont know about the gases but if I had to make a guess that sounds reasonable. Also if the honey was not completely dissolved it might still be coming into solution. Don't know if it could do that faster than the yeast could ferment though. Maybe someone who knows more could answer more...

Im in!

Thanks that's great. I can put the text back in, don't remember what it was called. Now I just have to fix the worm so it doesnt stick out so much. Or maybe thats the point. :)

If any of you can make these dunes look more like sand that would be great. I have tried everything I could think of. Currently it a gradient with sandstone texture on it. Also if there is something to be done with the thumper (silver-thingy) to give it a more realistic look, tryed using the...

I just wanna say y'all main guys are great. I wish I had the prowess that you have to help. Glad to see its still alive. Are there any good tutorials out there? Or what programs do you recommend. I have Photoshop, autocad, illustrator, inkscape, ms paint, and gimp and a few others I am forgetting.

Hoping to rack my pineapple bomm off the pineapplr into teritary for another month before bottling sometime this weekend, and infusing a bacon vodka for use in the bacon bomm tonight.

My plan is to do a kind of steep of bacon drippings in a bottle of vodka to make a kind of bacon extract to add to one of my gallons jugs, along with an undecided amount of maple syrup. I have some cherrywood malt I might try and add too to have a smoked bacon effect.

Just pitched some 71b onto a quart of honey I boiled for 45 minutes (just starting to smell burnt) for a 1 gal batch. It looked very dark and and smelled pretty good. Wanted to try it Bomm style but didnt have enough slurry in the secondary I had reracked. Guess Ill just have to wait like...
