I’ll mostly if not always use one. As they say, it’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

I would just get 5 of each for starters. You’ll always need more pint glasses.

I’m drinking a bottle of my Delirium clone, while working out my next brew recipe

I’m drinking my bottled Delirium clone. It’s way under carbonated. Aside from that, it’s not bad. Not oxidized, clean tasting, just not enough fizz. I’ll have to check my kegging system for leaks. All in all, I think it’s great for a first run in the AIO system. Thanks for all the advice from...

Got it, I just happen to have a pack of US05 on hand and I thought it might be useful. I’ll stick to 1 1/2 packs of S04. Thanks to you and @Sunfire96 for the feedback.

While I wait for my beer to finish conditioning in bottles, I’m planning my next beer. I want to make an imperial stout that’s around 11%. This will be a smaller batch at 3.5 gallons fermenting. So I was thinking of pitching a pack S04 and letting ferment for a week, and then pitching a pack of...

That’s really cool, I’m guessing bluebirds.

I am starting AIO brewing and I bought the Vevor 9.2gal system. I’ve only made one batch so far. The machine did really well as far as I can tell. The big plus is the low cost of the system. You can get one for $250 brand new. It is built pretty sturdy and has most of the controls that the...

This sums up my day.

Bottling my beer today. Using a recently bought counter flow filler. So it’ll probably be a slow process. The beer seems to be holding up without oxidation. This seems to be the hardest part of the whole process for me.

Here’s the 5Day pour. Definitely under carbonated, tasting good, pretty Deliriumish. Should be ready to bottle by next week.

I’m really tempted. What I’ve found online for the style says I should wait 10-14 days. See if I can hold out that long.

Washing bottles for my delirium clone keg that is carbonating. It’s been going for 5 days at 10psi. I’m thinking by day 10 it should be ready to bottle. Tempted to pull a pint

Kegged my delirium clone. Tastes good, I don’t taste any off flavors. Can’t tell from the look if it’s oxidizing. I’ll see how it looks when I bottle this beer.

Hopefully it’s not oxidized. I’ll see how it looks when I keg it tomorrow.
