Great stuff in this thread guys! I know it's pushing it (holiday-wise), but I love this beer so much I'm going to brew this next weekend! 10 gallon batch in my keggle. Thanks for the updates guys, keep'em comin!

Just racked to secondary, and after 7 days in primary we've attenuated from 1.045 --> 1.009. My original 5gal batch of this was 1.050 -->1.010. This was my first 10gal batch, so I'm very happy with the numbers. Resurrecting only 1 vial of frozen ale yeast from my yeast bank and using this DIY...

I want to post an update here about this stir plate. It is FANTASTIC! I am doing my first 10gal batch this weekend, so I resurrected some dry ale yeast from my frozen yeast bank. I am on stage 2 of my 3 stage 2L yeast starter for this weekend, and it's looking great! That 2" stir bar is doing...

It's working like a champ! I will say that the dial I ordered definitely DOES work with this fan, but it doesn't work perfectly. The only problem is it doesn't actually kick on untill you reach about 60% power on the dial. I also just leave it at the absolute lowest setting, and the stir bar has...

I did my own version of Pliny using cascade/centennial/amarillo. I used a 6.5gal carboy for primary for just over a week, and I racked to secondary in a 5gal carboy for just over 2 weeks. Dry hopped for all of the 14 days, the last 4 days adding round 2 of the dry hops. I used Munton's Kreamy X...

Hey guys! I'm new here and I love DIY, so figured I would contribute a little something. I know there are tons of DIY stir plates, but I made this one on my lunch break from crap I had laying around the house. Yes I know, not everyone is going to have optical termination shelves laying around...

Thanks for the replies! I will definitely do the combination of slits + holes to ensure performance. Right now, I just have the 1 keggle, which is acting as my kettle (untill now I've been using a friend's burner/kettle), I got a sightglass/thermometer combo on the way from Bobby. I think when I...

Tons of great info in this thread, guys! I am only 4 beers-deep in my brewing career, but a friend and I converted a keggle over the weekend with a 12" hole in the top. Standard 12" pot cover fits like a glove! My question to you guys with the slitted keg top for the false bottom is does it...

That's great news! I actually am in the process of getting a yeast bank started, and I think after we get a few other brews tested, i'll be doing this recipe! Thanks for keeping up to date, and I hope everything works out! Happy leap day!

I'm interested in giving this one a go at some point if it turns out well! When do you plan on trying it?

My first brew, and my first label!
