Id personally go with 2x 4500w Ripp elements, they are the lowest watt density available and ive had some BAD history with high-watt-density elements. Weird tasting beer & hard as hell to clean.

theres a place in the next town over that sometimes sells dirt-cheap pineapples, when they have them i always make a big batch of wine (very good stuff it is, too, if a little acidic). im thinking next time maybe adding some molasses & coconut to get a faux Caribou Lou :D

i dump it out, rinse it "pretty clean" in the sink, then throw it in with my other laundry. seems to work pretty good.

an ipa will have a pretty strong smell of its own so i doubt you will notice the cider.

not sure if this is relevant or not, but last time i checked ebay had some 100 gallon stainless tanks listed for like $500. they are in NC and pickup only and no they aren't mine.

+4 Arrogant Bastard +4 Braggot +5.5 Sweet Stout +5.5 Amber +5.5 Dubbel = 32068.5

i'm looking for 22oz in Chapel Hill or maybe Raleigh. i also have like 12 12-packs of delabeled SNPA bottles if anyone wants them.

me drinking a chocolate stout at a band practice guitarist: you made that??? me: yea, you wanna try one? guitarist (takes a sniff): wow, that's some stout ****! me thinking: um, yea...i just told you it was a chocolate stout... in his defense, he doesnt drink and he still really liked it

+35.5g of this and that = 25988

i'm making a modified version of this, 5 gallons beer + 3 gallons AJ 9# 2-row 1# special B .5# black patent .5# roasted barley 11 cans frozen apple concentrate + water to make 3 gallons mash 1/2oz each Yarrow & Marsh Rosemary 60min 1/2oz each Yarrow & Marsh Rosemary 30min 1/4oz...

personally, i don't care where kegs come from as long as they're cheap. but that wasn't the question ;)

it means it wasn't owned by another brewery at some point. buying branded kegs off of, for instance, craigslist is sortof a legal gray area because they're technically still property of that brewery. a "legitimate" keg wouldn't have any company markings on it.

EDIT: the equipment can be made pretty cheap, and it doesn't take THAT long to brew...4-5 hours if you multi-task :) PS. welcome aboard :tank:

local library is a good source of info too. my library has some good brewing books in the cooking section. all-grain is easy, the only hard part is equipment investment & the extra time it takes.

+5 BBD Oatmeal Snout +5 Wheat +5 Banana Porter = 19046

cool, just looking for some rough guidelines. OP says add oak in tertiary so i wasn't sure. this, or some derivative thereof, is on my short list to-brew! PS. best price i found on yarrow was on ebay, $16/lb shipped!

this recipe looks badass, any info on length of primary/secondary/tertiary?

i think i've brewed ~25 gallons so far = 12654.5

1774 + 5 = 1779
