John I picked up a Keg from Marion Scrap a while back to make a mash tun. Have all the tool to cut the top but haven't started the project. Too much stuff in the garage, too cold....... I have a 3 " and 4 1/2 inch angle grinders and step bits. If want to we could have Cut-Open the Keg get-toget...

I noticed on the De Moines craigslist someone out of Milwaukee selling converted keg kettles for $100

1st - Yeast Culturing 2nd - DIY Stir Plate 3rd - Counterflow Chiller I made a DIY immersion chiller but would be willing to provide the research have already collected and build a counter flow chiller. I think for about five to ten bucks more that the immersion chiller I could have made a very effec...

I have a couple chafing dishes (liquid heat burners). I'll bring them in case any wants to use them.

I went by Marion Iron today and picked up one of the full size kegs and the torpedo keg. Stainless goes for a buck a pound, so together it came to a total of $40. when I got it home I realized I probably also paid a buck a pound for some pretty rooten dried-up bear. Nasty stuff. The kegs are Firesto...

Sorry I missed it. Those Look good. Are they in a min frig? The stout looks very dark Did you use chocolate or special B? I did a 3 gal brown ale two Saturdays ago. I may have gone a little too dark for a brown because it is about the color of your stout. The OG was about 1.054. Twelve hours after I...

Randy,

Randy ,
Did you brew on Sunday? If not, and you are brewing today, I'd like to see you mash-bag-in-cooler technique

Kurt,
If nic dosn't mind, I could use a few. I am finding that I make more beer than I drink....

Thanks Randy!
By the way I have a vacuum sealer. I can bring it to the next tech meeting if any one wants to split their hops into smaller vacuum packs. They will stay fresher in freezer.

I am trying to experiment with saving yeast. More for the challenge. Like randy I am staying with 3 gal batches so if one get infected it's not a bank buster. It will be worth the experience. Ok, I may be stretching a bit for only have a few batches under my belt, but I washed the yeast from my last...

Randy,
I'd be in for the one of the $14 special packd. Seems like a good variety of hops the are called out in most recipies I have been looking to brew, and not a bad price.

I was there a couple weeks ago and had the Belgian Strong Ale, along with some of their other brews that night. It was one of the better beers. Could feel the alcohol warming a bit, but strong was not referring to the flavor. Interesting note: Granite City should be called a Micro Fermentary as they...
