Jake replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Aleumination Recipes' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
Hey Ray Grace, I have a couple of questions about the all grain version of Batch #1... First, I was wondering what kind of effect the gelatin has on the final product? Also, is it some special type of gelatin or just your standard grocery store vari…

Has anybody created fermentors out of 15.5 gallon kegs?
I bought a couple of Sanke kegs and would like to convert them into large fermentors. I have several questions if anybody has experience with this. First of all, I was wondering if there is a good cap to attach a blow off tube to the existing openin…

Jake replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion 'Different priming agents' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
I've used light DME for heavier beers and corn sugar for lighter fare. I was under the impression that DME will give you a creamy malty head, whereas corn sugar will give you more of a crisp highly carbonated result. However, I haven't really tested…

All New 12 Gallon Ghetto Rig
I've been collecting the supplies to convert from the old 5 gallon stove top setup (where every grain recipe was just brimming on my 4 3/4 gallon pot,) to to all new outdoor 12 gallon setup with converted kegs from the scrap yard. I finally got enou…

Jake replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion 'Durden Park Beer Circle' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
I checked out their website and noticed 3 hour mash times for pretty much all of their recipes. I wonder if they just get a few extra percentage points on their brewhouse efficiencies or if the super long mash imparts some sort of character to their…

Mark Hill replied to Jake's discussion 'Brew kettles from kegs...' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
A friend made a jig from wood to hold a die grinder. He found a 2"hole saw fits the keg neck perfectly and can be used as the axis. Cut a board with a small hole in the middle, put it over the shaft of the hole saw and mount the die grinder to the e…

Brew kettles from kegs...
Hello all, I just acquired a couple of straight sided kegs that I'm planning on converting to larger brew kettles. I'm wondering if anybody has a good tip on cutting a clean 12" hole in the top. Does anybody have experience with this conversion? Any…

Jake replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Hop Growing' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
I as well am trying this for the first time this year. I hear hops are pretty easy to grow. I didn't find any information on what types grow best in which climates, so I just ordered a bunch of different types and we'll see which ones grow best. How…

Jake replied to theBryon's discussion 'Need to start making my own recipes... Need a recommendation' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
If you get some good recipes going and get curious as to the theory that goes into formulating recipes, check out "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels. It's a lot to take in at once, but you can read up on particular styles of beer that you are co…

Do yeast starters like music?
Have you guys ever heard of the urban legendish theory that plants that have been played music grow faster and healthier than those that grow in silence? I heard this growing up and couldn't help but apply it the first time I had a Wyeast smack pack…
