So I brew 10 gallon batches. Has anyone ever bought 2 of their 5 gallon kits and brewed them together for a 10 gallon batch? Is there any reason not to try this?

http://imgur.com/a/LOc3H Hey guys, my wife and I are moving long distance and need to get rid of some stuff. I'm selling my entire setup for all-grain brewing. I'd like to get rid of the whole thing at once for $200 OBO, which I think is a steal. The album includes the pictures. Unfortunately...

Hey guys, I just got one of the new airlocks pictured below. It saves me some space rather than using just a big tube for a blowoff (I live in an apt.) However, I haven't seen any bubbles coming up into the sanitizer it's dipped into. I talked to the owner of my LHBS, and she said that it could...

I see a lot of recipes on here billed as a 5.5 gallon batch, and Palmer recommends putting 5.5 gallons in your primary since some of the wort is going to be absorbed by the trub and yeast and you'll be left with 5 gallons of beer when all is said and done. I usually boil 6.5 gallons down to...

I'm actually letting my wife pick out the malt and hops, then I'll have to calculate out how much of each once she's done that. I'll be posting when I get everything sorted out for sure.

There's never much update on these SMaSH threads about how things turn out so I just wanted to update. I bottled the beer tonight after it was in the primary for just over 3 weeks. It ended up having and FG of 1.011 and abv of 4.7%, which I am very happy with. It also tasted delicious so far...

I started making this stir-plate a few months ago, but ended up not finishing it before I moved across the country. I finally got to finish it and am pretty proud. Thought I'd share. I got the wiring diagram from another site and only modified it a little bit. Now the only thing I need is the...

Wow, thanks for posting this. I really want to move to kegging in the next couple months, but have had trouble finding good info for a simple and small setup. I live in an apartment so the size limitations are important for me. I may just end up doing this exact set-up. I know you said you...

Ok, so I had to change the hops to Citra because my LHBS didn't have any amarillo. I figured citra might be good too since it also has a tropical/fruity flavor profile. I am using just plain old american pale 2-row against recommendations, but hey, experimentation is what this is all about...

I wanted my first SMaSH to be really really basic, so that I could get to the flavor basics. I know people have recommended against 2-row for a SMaSH but I want to start there just cause it's so common in recipes that it would be good to taste it on its own. Going on other people's tips I have a...

I'll be in Charlottesville. I've never lived outside MN so I'm pretty psyched.

Hey guys, I've been brewing beer off and on for a couple years now, first with a good friend and now with my wife. Lately it's been more on then off and I've decided I really want to get more into it. I've done probably 15 or so extract beers over the last 4-5 years, and have recently...
