Found a local place, about a half hour drive.
Anything wrong with this? http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/hobreqkit.html Do I need the "additional 6 gal PET carboy"? Think I can try this brew http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/weizenbier.html Is this big enough? http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/ststbrpot20q.html Will this autosiphon do? http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/au24in.html or should I go with this? http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/au28in.html A batch might last me a long time. Should I get these? http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/oxbacrca1co.html I'm thinking this will get me started. Anything else? I want to get the first batch right. Thanks! --Vic |

A Hydrometer and a floating thermometer he http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/intesu.html The hydrometer is not as necessary but get it anyway, it helps you keep track of your brews and helps understand the process too. You really need the floating thermometer to know when to pitch your yeast. If you pitch it too hot, it could fail to go off... The autosiphon, and the pot look fine, my pot is a 16 quart but 20 should be fine... Good luck and I think Loog will agree. The most important part of the process is the clean factor. Treat the stuff like you are preping for surgery during the process. I keep all my tools in a pot of cleaner/ sterilizer during the brew and other processes... Have fun, Scotty |

Anything else? I want to get the first batch right. Thanks! --Vic Oh and, going to the store is a good idea. You will probably get to talk to a brewer, have your questions ready. Also, I have never seen it in a brew recipe but there is a critical time during the brew when all the energy of the boiling sugars kick up. This is usually followed by a quick boil up in the pot and if you are not on top of it, or brewing too hot, it will brew right over the side of the pot. It won't ruin the beer necessarily, but it will sure **** of the wife. That sugar mix is hell to get out of anything, the stuff sticks like gorilla glue foam adhesive..;) Maybe Loogie will go into more detail about brew temp and sugar kick... |

No, that's for secondary fermentation, and against a lot of belief, isn't needed with extracts. I just leave it in the primary fermentor longer. Think I can try this brewhttp://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/weizenbier.html Yep, shouldn't be a problem. Go for it! I'll help anyway I can! It will have decent instructions with it, if there's something you don't understand, give me or Scotty a shout! Is this big enough?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/ststbrpot20q.html Plenty for extract brewing. You only need to boil about half of the total volume, watch for boil overs, the sticky goo is a freakin' mess! Put the can of extract in some hot tap water to soften it while your water is coming up to temp, it'll flow easier. Will this autosiphon do?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/au24in.html or should I go with this?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/au28in.html The first one will be fine! A batch might last me a long time. *Should I get these?http://www.chicagolandwinemakers.com/oxbacrca1co.html Nah, no need. You can try the beer after being bottled for a couple of weeks, but it really is at it's peak after about a month. Cool and dark, I keep mine in the cartons, and it'll be fine for six months. I'm thinking this will get me started. Anything else? I want to get the first batch right. Thanks! --Vic Get yourself on homebrewtalk.com and read up on sanitization techniques to make your sanitizing as simple as possible! |

Have fun, Scotty- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yep, when you get done with the boil, put in some cold cold water then put the pot in the sink with some ice and water to cool. Of course, seeing how I'm doing all-grain I have to do full boils so I made a wort chiller. But that's another story for when you get comfortable with extract brewing, or just don't want to go all grain. Some great contest winning brews have been done with extracts! Some day I'll get some pictures up of my brew stand, etc.. |

They have no interest in it, other than just another chance to be assholes. Maybe if Don learned how to brew beer from me, he could quit having to fetch it for his son. |
