yea it looks like a good simple starter kit, and glass seems much better than those cheese plastic brown barrels or the 5 gallon spackle bucket.

make sure you shoot some of those deer too!

there are some bread recipes online too to use that spent grain with.

i can only imagine the trash bag full of grain busting open as i'm walking down the hall to the trash chute... or it ripping open on the trash chute b/c the metal it all banged up

Celica what's your suspension set up like?

I have the ford racing c springs. I'd like to get the back end to sit a little lower then it does now. I know some guys will cut a half a coil out of the springs but IDK about that.

once you get the water to temp you pour it over cracked barley in, usually, a cooler. since its insulated it'll hold temp longer. the temp will come down like 10 degrees and you hold it there for half an hour i believe. this converts the starch in the barley to sugar for the yeast to use.

next you boil the liquid in the cooler for a bit to sterilize the liquid and add hops at the right times. then you've got to drop the temp suddenly for the cold break.

add to a fermenter, pitch yeast and wait

thats it in a nut shell from someone who has assisted with all-grain brewing, but not done it. I don't want to deal with 15lbs of spent grain on the 8th floor...

ok cool, thanks for the basic run down. that doesn't seem to painful

careful with glass... it likes to crack when you're attempting to gently put down 5 gallons of liquid lol...

lol @ hunting in my wooded yet residential yuppy area. those fags would all cry about me killing their dogs that bark all night because i "accidentally" missed the deer.


and LOL at all that nasty **** in the trash chute.

it really isn't and it takes as much time as extract brewing. you're just left with more to dispose of

[CHAOS]

[Scapegoat]

what kind of yeast do you have? is it a slap pack?

Well I was talking to a guy with a cobra at the one meet, and he said at the bottom of the spring they are double stacked, like two coils...and thats what he cut. It looked really good on his car

[CHAOS]

heres a question, on those instructions, it says let it ferment for 2 weeks, then after bottling it says let it sit for 2-3 weeks, should i assume thats the consumption period or is that a needed step before consumption?
