I took my garden hose. put a shut off valve on one end. filled the hose from the tap. shut the valve. disconnected the hose from the tap, put a shut off on that end. so I had a hose full of water. tossed one end in the pool , opened the valves.and siphoned away

I've never used keg lube. Haven't had any problems, so I see no need to start.

That sounds good. Nice and simple. Do you use flaked rye or malted rye? DS

As far as equipment you can brew a batch pretty cheap. Get a couple used plastic buckets from a bakery or grocery store. One for a fermenter and one for a bottling bucket. Purchase a bottling bucket spigot from a home brew store and install it on one of the buckets. About $5 Get several feet of...

I wouldn't bother rinsing it. Just keep it all.

I'm not sure how it would score in a competition as a "common". (and I don't really care" but as I said the I really enjoyed the beer. I know folks use clean fermenting ale yeasts for the style, to me BRY-97 seemed to fit the bill.

I brewed something similar that turned out really well. 10 lb vienna 1/2 lb crystal 45 .6 oz magnum @60 1 oz N. Brewer @20 1 oz N. Brewer @0 BRY-97 yeast

If it's done fermenting , bottle it.

I've been thinking of trying this method, but haven't got around to it yet. I got the idea here http://braukaiser.com/blog/blog/2013/01/23/improvised-fermentation-temperature-control/

I roasted some in the toaster oven to use in a stout once.

I got your recipe off the AHA forum, and planned to brew it this weekend. The weather's kind of ****ty and I brew outdoors so I might have to put it off till next weekend. I'll let you kow how it turns out.

This is a recipe for a three gallon batch I brewed. I wanted a flavorfull lager, but wound up with a very light low flavor beer. So much so that I am either going to blend it or dump it. But it might be close to what you are looking for. 4 lbs 4.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0...

I've never seen them for sale in the US. You could try going with polypins.

You could always take some of your first runnings maybe a quart or so give it a quick boil, chill it down pitch the yeast in that. Shake the hell out of it every once in a while. Let the yeast get happy while you finish brewing. And pitch the whole thing.

It certainly seems that it was done fermenting. Don't know what to say.

I seriously doubt that yeast from another batch carried over, but I guess it's possible. I've found that English yeasts sometimes need a bit of rousing to help them finish up. What was the OG and how long was it in the fermenter?

Unless the yeast was really old, I wouldn't bother with a starter for a one gallon batch. A one gallon batch is basically a starter. I would just pitch the yeast. If you want to get a couple of brews out of it just harvest some from the one gallon.
