Mash Schedule: My Mash
Total Grain Weight: 12.40 lb
----------------------------
ERROR - All Grain/Partial Mash recipe contains no mash steps

Notes:
------
Mash at 154*
Toast 1lb of 2-Row in 350* over for 30 mins.  Store in brown paper bag for 1 week before brew day.

They both look pretty good.  I'll substitute a Wyeast strain.  It's been a while since I didn't make my own recipe, but I'm feeling lazy and just want a good one.


You've posted 2 more, now I have choices[happy]

Mark Wrote:Well brewing has come to a halt here.  [baby]  Once things settle back down and the weather warms a little I should be back to brewing full time.  I cant wait as I am having brewing withdrawls.  On a better note, I just ordered some Czech Saaz from Hops Direct. [7up]

difference in the north vs south; I end up brewing a good bit in the winter and barely at all in the summer, too friggin hot out most days.  I've had the itch for a while, but I need to figure out  when I can bottle some of this wine and free up my carboys, the brewery's gettin backed up!

HELLLLOO HOMEBREW NUTS!!!!

I want to thank Mark for helping me out and picking up those cool sticks so I can get the following...

Guys I give you the Boyle Heights Brewery [bravo]

Heres a few pics that have everything...





The wort chiller needs new tubing...but thats a cheap thang....Looks kick arse though[thumbsup]



Heres what I got thanks to Mark.....Norther Brewer is a cool place....been reading till my eyes hurt.





 

2 GLASS CARBOYS, 2 SECOND FERMENTATION BUCKETS, ALL THE EQUIPMENT FOR CLEAN UP AND BREWING, LOTS OF BOTTLES....AND ONE HEFE BREW KIT MAKES

 

ONE HOPPY MOTHER F-ER!!!!!!!!!!!![bravo][bravo][bravo]

Thats AWESOME bro!!!!!  It's great to see another brewer posting in here, we need lots more!

Good luck with your brew this weekend.  Be sure to pst lots of pics.

Awesome, way to help him get started Mark!


And Serg, post how everything goes and turns out b/c I am on the edge of trying it myself, just need a little fellow college student reassurance [guiness]

Hey Serg, they did send the yeast, correct?

Just dive right in MK......dont think, just brew. Its like cigars, before you know it you will be thinking about this Day and Night.[thumbsup]

Ya, its the silver package that you can barely read the label on. Dry is good right now for me....cant fumble around with no pricy liquid stuff yet.

and I might have to hold off for another weekend, dang family coming in from up north. I have to hide everything or their kids will break it all for sure.

But I will post pics about another small brew just to get into the zone
