No, but I'd equate it to parking a golf cart in an airplane hanger.

So, I just poured my first pint. It's not fully carbed up yet, but I'm very pleased with it. Has that clean, dry mouthfeel I was looking for with the pacific ale yeast. A little warmth after swallowing, but I was only aiming for around 6% ABV, so it's just right. I'm glad some of you...

Are there mini fridges out there with enough depth & height for a standard 5 gal bucket or glass carboy?

Just curious about reviews on this product? http://www.homebrewsupply.com/amcyl-10-gallon-brew-kettle-w-3-piece-ball-valve.html#product_review Seems like a good price for a 10-gal kettle with a ball valve attachment and engraved interior markings. I'm trying to decide between this...

Next one I do I'll keep it around 150. So for something like a stout, would you go with a higher mash temp?

Pacific Ale yeast. Wanted something that would be pretty dry, clean mouthfeel. I normally mash between 151-155. There is always debate for mashing temps, but I've not had any problems with mashing at those temps. You don't really start getting tannin until 160+.

Alright. I'll pick up another 3 ounces for dry hop (totaling 4).

That much? That seems excessive.

Well, I was hoping to have a pretty hop-forward profile, but with enough balance. I didn't get the sweetness from the Golden Promise...to me it was a less "biscuity" Maris. That's why I added the Honey Malt. So, I already brewed this over the weekend. It's bubbling away in my basement right...

Good to know. Maybe I'll pick up a few more ounces of Citra before I dry hop.
