Nothing wrong with extract brewing Same here. Went back to extract and loving it especially no boils!

Thanks RM! Moving from the South to the INW my challenge is keeping it warm instead of cool. Just saw some sweet dual temp control devices so looks like a I need to build a chamber subudo

I got it up to 67 now it’s bubbling so I am good

:drunk:

Hello everyone, I can only get my imperial citrus yeast down to 65f. Package says 68 to 80. It’s starting to show activity just curious on what the outcome will be Thanks

I discovered over Google April 2011 almost a decade later still my most visited site. 💪

I have used the MnB for about 10 batches now and I agree the temperature fluctuations drive me a little nuts. I was going to try and use the blanket like I used to do with my BIAB set up but I just moved back to extract for now. Sweet little piece of equipment thought

I just switched back to extract after a long run at all grain. Way too deep in a AG rabbit hole so had to bring it back to basics. Love extract ,PM, and AG but wanted a shorter brew day

Just brewed my first batch today and had no issues throwing them right in

Great advice I will give it a try

So should I treat it like distilled and build it to style

I usually use distilled that way I can build in BeerSmith. I was hoping someone has the mineral content so I could plug it in and build from there

Does anyone use these machines and if so do you have water report?

Greetings everyone, I am looking to bottle condition a 8%+ stout for six to seven months while I do my tour in the middle east. My question should I just bottle in a typical grolsch bottle or should I invest in oxygenated caps to some bombers. Thx

For the grain aftertaste I suggest using a Secondary. Not only did I notice a way clearer beer, the taste cleaned up as well. My primaries would have excessive trub which even being very careful would end up w/ mass sediment during bottling time even with cold crashing Good luck

I second the Chloramines in the tap water. I also have noticed harsh taste since using tap water w/ AG. The local brew club hooked me up with a water profile and told me to use RO and adjust w/ salts. I suggest you start building your profile from RO. Good luck

Put an ad on Craigslist for empty bottles. I have helped many new brewers this way or buy a case of decent craft beer and use the empties. Before you know it you will have cases upon cases of empties.

By the way been doing BIAB for about 10 batches and love it. Just been getting alot of gushers for some reason since I moved to AG. Don't know if I am sucking yeast back into the bottles or what. Some batches come out fine some gush. Switched out all my plastics and seemed to curb it for awhile...

I guess I was vague. Do you all steep grains in same 5 gallons or separate? Do you cut bittering hops. Last time I did a full boil with extract it seemed watered down. Is there really a huge taste difference with the two?

Greetings everyone, Just recently got back into 5 gallon extract batches from AG to save some time and keep pipeline going. I have done two before with pretty good results. Any suggestions to the process. Cheers, JEff
