Just a small tangent chime in here- Happy New Years And, what about the 'no boil'- already mentioned here a few pages back?

I wish I lived in Cali, and near you! Here's a bump

Very nice work. By using fermentation chambers, I'm assuming you're doing Lagers?

Good Recovery(ies), now have another beer!

My ice maker runs off my RO water system for our drinking water too. Last night I put m,y brew kettle on the snow on my prch for about 20 min., then, as I always do I dump the ice from our ice maker into the wort- That, and adding cold tap water to get it to 5G cools it quickly. Bad method...

BIAB? + Brew/Beer in A bAG? I have to read up on this. NIce thread. I've only done what I think you call 'Partial Mash' Recipes I started in HOUston- From 'DeFalco's' LHBS. Now I'm in 'The Brew City'- Milwaukee- since I moved here they opened up a nice 'NOrthern Brewer' Store. I was there...

Yesterday, I was drinking my 'Todd's IPA'- Which is an almost exact clone of Toppling Goliaths 'Light Speed' WHILE I was brewing my version of Bells 2 hearted Ale!

I just noticed After my post that this thread went from '09- to '18? ! Wow, nearly 10 years later, I just brewed this recipe!! For 20 years, I"ve been doing Grain/Extract, I thjink it's called partial mash? Anyways, I've done recipes of this before too. But I have always used liquid...

Well, the lock is bubbling- albeit slowly atm, but it is fermeting on my own, saved 'dregs'!

I realized that I didn't include a yeast. Partly b/c I saved the dregs/bottom of several of my last beers to use a a yeast for this brew. I do bottle only, and naturally carbonate in the bottle. I've been saving the bottoms of a few beers with a small portion of the beer also. It's in a...

I've been brewing Grain/Extract- Partial mash for about 15 yrs now. ALWAYS comes out awesome, and I very the recipes often. Today, I'm brewing my 2nd batch of what I call 'Todd's LIghtspeed' While drinking some of my first batch. I came up with a recipe based on posts I've read, etc...

I am currently brewing my grain/extract version of toppling Goliaths 'Lightspeed'. I'm drinking some of the last batch as I go, he he
