Belgian Tripple All Grain Kit

Sounds good. I'll give it a shot!

Has anyone ever used Spalt to dry hop? I have a lot of Spalt (leaf, not pellets) and I have just kegged a pale ale that doesn't have quite enough aroma. Would it be a good idea to put in about 1 oz of spalt in the keg?

Wow! Those are impressive! Mine look like crap compared to these....

I started my brother home brewing.

Typically, cylindrical containers are more economical than a squared-off structure due to material needed to make it. For the same volume, you have less surface area, thus less material. In addition, rounded structures will more successfully withstand the outward-directed force of the liquid...

I do the same thing that wobdee does. After a while, when the trub settles there is usually a difference in reading of about 0.002 points. So, yes, it does make a difference.

I'll get a new one this weekend. I read more on it and it seems to have a shelf life of about 6 months. Mine's past that. Thanks.

Does anyone use FermCap to prevent too much foaming while doing a starter? If so, when do you add it? When boiling the starter wort or afterwards? I had to add some after it had started and I am worried about contamination. Should I be worried about this? Other FermCap questions...

Count me in!

OK, done. I'm in.

I'm convinced that that is how my last infected batch got that way. I had a small leak in the same spot that you mentioned and water from the hose got in the wort. I did not realize that until later and what I should have done was bring it to a boil again for at least 10 min to sanitize...

Count me in too!
