Mobcraft took a lot of heat about a year ago for one thier finalists that had dates and grapes in it. Title was the singular of those two ingredients.

shilinshuai, what was your FG? I hit 1125 OG w skibbs recipe and it pooped out at 1045. Mashed too high, but did so based off a big dark barleywien w 1968 that went from 1127 to 1034. So I was a few point higher than my 1040 target. Drank the hydro sample and it didn't seem overly heavy for...

Most one element at a time panels are 30 amp. That’s with two pumps, PIDs...

Call it a NEPA. Problem solved.

Good luck. :rock: Don’t go overboard on the coriander. Less is more.

Yup. No reason to go true smash here. I use the row 2 hill 56 recipe for this. Has pils, MO and c20. Use 4 oz of the test hop. 2 oz dry. 1 oz 0 min. The remaining oz is in the 30 and 90 with added magnum or warrior at 90 if need to hit target ibu.

If you can use them in your current and future state, yes buy the better kettles now with the added ports if you can afford them. I do like the suggestion on doing BIAB for now in your situation. Get your nice HERMs mash tun now (and probably the false bottom just so you have it for future in...

I get a lot from ritebrew. Shipping is low if you’re in the Great Lakes region and spend over 75. It’s usually $3-4 for me, but im close to them. Hops from yakama valley. I still get my specialty grains, sacks, and yeast from NB as they’re real close and those prices are good when you stack AHA...

Just did this for a cutie porter. Zested six cuties after scrubbing to get wax off. Put zest in 4 oz mason jar. Cover w vodka. Put on counter and shake every day. Strain after two weeks or so. Add as needed. I’ve been adding on a per glass basis as haven’t got around to adding to keg. I’m using...

I live near the Milwaukee store. I really haven’t noticed much of a difference. Staff is great there. Prices are competitive on grain if you plan accordingly. Buy gift cards when they do the buy 100 get 20. Use AHA discount. Then buy sacks when they run 20% off one or all items... Pretty much...

Looks fine. Different yeasts. Different krausens. Some just get a little and some overflow and make a good mess. As long as it’s bubbling away.

Go Beach. Played volleyball at CSULB back in 93-95 when the built the pyramid. I’m sure the towns changed a bit in the last 20 years. Only been back once since. Back in WI. Welcome to the obsession

I bought a makita track saw from CPO, order through jet.com, and it had straightness issues on the tracks. CPO customer service was great and worked with me and jet to take care of the issue and get straight rails. Look at CPO items through jet and you may get a better deal than straight through...

If you already brew, you already have the equipment. So there’s really no additional investment other than the kit itself. Making a wine kit feels like cheating it’s so easy compared to beer. Dump juice in, add water and mix in some packets of stuff... A wine kit brew day is about a half hour...
