You mean there is another way to brew???pocketjr wrote:berryman wrote:4 hours isn't too far off for a extract batch with a steep and 60 min boil, and especially being your first try at it. This is the only kind of brewing I do and always around 3 hrs or so from start to finish.pocketjr wrote:4 hours! FOUR!
3 and a half for the actual boiling/brewing and 45 minutes for the clean up and wait for the wort to cool down so I could pitch the yeast.
I want to think I did something wrong, so I can cut down on that time, but I'm not sure what it would be.
BYO mag. Has a nice article on doing it in 2 hrs, you need everything 100% ready to go and would need a wort chiller.
Thanks berryman
I'm not upset about the time as much as I'm surprised. I'm so used to MB and Coopers kits that I clearly wasn't prepared for this. I really like how much more involved I am in the beer this way, and I look forward to going AG one day. I just need to plan my day more appropriately now, rather than procrastinate for 12 hours before I start.

For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

I'm not particularly crazy (IMO), and I don't rock-climb. It's just the name of a video game I used to like to play, back in the 80's.

Re: The No Post Post
I'm watching the PBA World Series before I head out to work.
I was a 5-pin bowler for 20+ years before I tried my hand at 10-pin, and I never really got the hang of it. In 5-pin I take one step before throwing the ball, I tried that with 10-pin and it just didn't work. I was also used to aiming for the side of the centre pin and that REALLY doesn't work in 10-pin! A curve in 5-pin can be really detrimental, so trying to learn how to get a curve in my delivery in 10-pin was like learning a new language.
Now 5-pin is disappearing in my area, so I may have to figure out this crazy 10-pin thing

Re: The No Post Post
Yep, I tried that. But my ball doesn't curve and the pins don't scatter like they do in 5. So basically I take out the middle bunch and leave everything on the outside.Yankeedag wrote:go in between the #1 & #3 pin.

Re: The No Post Post
I throw a straight ball, and hit the 1-3 area head on. Works for me.... when my aim is on.
