    Fermenting on concrete basement floor

    If you're in the basement still you should be fine. Especially if it's in the water bath. You'll have enough mass with 10+ gallons of H20 and beer to carry you thru these warm days. Remember, that slab isn't gonna heat up up just b/c of a few days of warm weather. I think heating your fermenter...

    If a full boil is possible, DO IT!!

    I have been successful stirring the bottom of my 10 gallon ss pot with a Rubber baking spatula attached to a sharpening steel with o clamps. You gotta be ingenuitive. Don't think those cheap white spoons at LHB are going to move the extract off the bottom. Once they heat up they bend. Buy a high...

    Fermenting on concrete basement floor

    like the bugeater says, be patient. Lower temps usually just mean slower fermentation. If you find the temps are still to low, you can elevate the carboy, wrap it in a blanket, or even create a warm water bath with an aquarium heater and a storage tote.

    Fermenting on concrete basement floor

    You need a temp from that carboy. Get a strip thermometer or tape and insulate a probe thermometer to it. Fermentation is an exothermic activity, so the temperature inside the carboy should increase a few degrees once fermentation starts. Given it has the proper conditions to start.

    American IPA Dogfish Head 60 Minute Clone (AG) & Extract

    Nitsua- Don't despair. I brewed this as my 5th beer as well. When brewing a beer with this many hops it's not a bad idea to use a large hop bag in the wort. If you check the gallery, you will see some ideas of how to suspend a hop bag in the wort. This includes a design which will hold these...

    Rigid copper tubing and spring benders

    I don't think you will have much luck here. I checked over on a plumbing forum and they hard pressed to help this guy to bend rigid for a light fixture/ art piece. The suggestions ranged from very expensive hydraulic benders to filling with sand and heating to extreme temperatures. If you...

    "Beer" Magazine rant

    I was in Barnes and Nobles the other day for a gift. Beer was the only beer magazine on the shelf, and I live in boulder! So props to them for getting the word out to non-homebrewers about the beer revolution. I obviously loved beer before I started brewing, but I couldn't give a flip less about...

    Tried some at the restaurant the other day. Could not believe it. It tasted..... good. So much better than that other crap in the green bottle!

    Potential dirt cheap false bottom???

    Find one that fits correctly and already has holes if it's non-stick. Once you comprise that coating, it will continually flake off. You will then have little bits of toxic coating in your beer.:drunk:

    Fruit in the primary

    Listen to the April 24, 2006 Jamil podcast - The Jamil Show - The Brewing Network a lot of good info. Also, as a chef I find Perfect Purees to be a great product with an incredible amount of flavors.

    If a full boil is possible, DO IT!!

    to qoute Brew Your Own- Hop Lovers Guide " The amount of bitterness in extract brewing is primarily limited by two factors. The first is the inherent solubility limit of bittering compounds in wort- in short, there is only so much bitterness that can be boiled out of the hops. Between 100-120...
