Just started all-grain brewing.

Me and my bud brewed a Highland Gaelic Ale clone yesterday. Should be fantastic.

This is my first all grain brew, but my friend is more experianced. He has made awesome beers. He made a Honey Porter a couple weeks ago. And he made a 60 min IPA clone, which taste IDENTICAL!

Can't wait to buy my all-grain brewing stuff when I get my tax return!!

I fuggin love beer and making beer.

When my tax return comes, I am gonna buy one of these (8 gallon brew pot w/valve and thermometer). And shortly there after, me and my dad are going to convert a big gatorade cooler into a mashtun.

Then I am thinking that we use some copper pipping to make a wort chiller, if thats not cost effciant then I will just buy one.

I already have a propane burner, and all the other things needed for brewing, so then I will forever be converted to all-grain brewing, but in the meantime I am using my buddies stuff.

I am planning on brewing an American style wheat beer for the Summer. Then we are gonna work on a 90 minute IPA clone.

I picked up a cheap pot this weekend. 15 bucks for a 4 gallon stainless steel. pretty awesome deal.

I also found a local brew shop that has all kinds of ingredients and kits. He even sells kits under his own brand name. Lumina Winery. I'll be picking up one of his for my next batch. The current one(Coopers Lager) is ready to bottle.

Im am pumped about my pot

Stainless steal 9 gallon pot. 2 welded female couplings to hold a thermometer and Stainless Steel ball valve.

I wanted a pot to do full all-grain boils. Because most all-grain boils, you have to start with 7 gallons of wort.

I got all this for 140$, which is an absolute steal. I easily saved 110$.

bottled that coopers lager last night. even though i didn't fill my carboy to the level i was told to, i couldn't fit all the beer in the 30 bottles that were provided. not sure what I did wrong. I ended up filling up the bottles to a point that I feel may be to high, and then dumping probably another bottle cuz I had no where to put it. It also has quite a bit of sediment in it. I don't expect it to be fantastic, but I do hope it is at least drinkable for a cookout in a month or two.

I'm ready to get one of the partial extract kits from my local brew store now.

      Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod.

      Who needs to step up in 2026

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion.

      I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
