I just dropped some coin on some product and i don't mean Mr. Beer this time.
I have in the fridge no less than 4 kinds of malt and grain, trappist yeast, 3 kinds of hops, buckets, hydrometers, thermometers, siphons, dead midgets, etc. so i'm pretty much set.
What am i missing? Very little. I have enough equipment to brew about 10gal worth of beer. So i only need a capper, caps, empties, and a fermentation lock. For the lock i might just use what i was building as a C02 setup for my aquarium and use it for the first batch and later modify it for a real lock. Same premise is used, but in reverse. It's actually quite clever.
The recipe i have waiting is a Trappist style ale not unlike a Rochefort style or similar. I wasn't able to get whole fresh hops, but the pellets i got are without question fresh. They smell AMAZING!
Passow and all you other whackos, i need your help on this stuff. I've been reading and studying and i'm ready, but i could use some input.
The one thing i don't have on hand is a 3-5gal stock pot. I have a 2.75gal one, so i'm hoping i could split it into two pots somehow.
Man i can smell those hops now! Damn my work schedule! I want this started NOW!
I'll be back, but for now, my wallet calls.
