I've thought about that, but there are a few reasons why I'm selling it. Takes up too much space. Want that storage for other things so that I can put the drums, guitar, keyboard, and amps in the garage to jam. Would rather someone else use the equipment. Sitting there for 10 years seems...

Yep, got a 16% abv barrel aged stout i still need to bottle too LOL!

Yeah, I'm getting out of the game for now. I've got 7 years of handling teens, so there just isn't enough time left anymore. My hope is that I can get back into it once I get the kiddos in college. I should have a lot more time at that point...unless boss lady decides otherwise;)

Selling some of my equipment (Complete Clawhammer BIAB System 120V with neoprene blanket, Brewers Edge BIAB system, Mill, Brewtech SS Fermenter, Pump, CO2 tank about 1/2 full, Anvil Fermenter Bucket, Stir plate, 40 plate chiller, etc.). Not looking to break it up, giving a value of $1,500...

not really sure. could have been overpitch, but doubt it. massive banana aroma during fermentation, just wasn't there for flavor or aroma when bottled. i'll give it a go with a simple hefe recipe and see what i get. won't under pitch at first. if that doesn't do it, i'll underpitch on the...

So this didn't have the banana flavor that I was hoping for on either one. Not even a little bit of a hint on the nose or taste. During fermentation is smelled like banana bread and I was really excited. While they are both drinkable and enjoyable, the banana flavor (which was the whole...

Never got a barrel, but did the "barrel" aging process with spirals. Came out good, but not great.

Almost ready, just a couple more weeks and I'll report back...

Finally got around to trying this yeast. They are both still in the fermenter, but I'll comment once they are bottled and carbonated. Yes, I did use it in conjunction with another yeast in both recipes, but it'll still be interesting to see if I get massive banana notes like I wanted...

I've got the Anvil 7.5 Gallon SS Bucket. It works as both. Having said that, I prefer to rack to a corny keg for secondary/lagering/bulk aging before I bottle. Just my opinion. The SS Brewtech is better built and easier to lug around (albeit more expensive). Plus the size is taller and...

It's dropped down to 1.028 so far. Probably going to rack it over to secondary tomorrow and add the whisky soaked spirals. Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated.

Do you rack over to secondary prior to hitting FG? Pros and Cons? I've got a beer that is pretty close to FG and has been on the yeast for about 20 days. Going to rack it over at some point to age on whisky soaked oak spirals for about 3-6 months, so I'm wanting to get it off the yeast...

Sounds like it's time for a road trip. ;)

I'm thinking that the next 50 pound bag of base malt I get will be from them...even if I have to eat the shipping cost!:D

They do ship, so you should be able to get it delivered to your home.

Not too bad really. $1.25 per pound for base grains $1.50-$1.75 for the specialty grains

Just got these bad boys in the mail yesterday and I can't wait to try them. They did an awesome job packing them, used Coffee bags to keep them fresh, great idea! Any advice on the first beer to brew with these malts?

Well, I'm going to see how well it works when you pitch them both into the wort!

I'll add it to the recipe for next month.
