CP Home Brewing
Anyone here into this? I recently caught the bug, and it's addicting as hell. I'd been toying with mostly 1 gallon batches, and racking via siphon, but I recently upgraded to a larger setup with a FastFerment conical. I'm totally pumped as tomorrow is brew day and I'm whipping up a 5 gallon batch of Cascade double IPA to try this thing out. I'm in a loft downtown now, and am limited on space so I really only have room for extract brewing, but we're buying a house soon and my main requirement is a garage or basement big enough for a fermentation chamber and an all-grain system.

Here's my new setup with the room I have.



If anyone here is into the hobby, share your setup, favorite recipes, etc. it'd be great to have a CP home brew tasting at some point. I know some of you ****ers HAVE to be doing this stuff...

Guess my IPAs usually go away fairly quickly.

Anyone brew mead or cyser? I have been thinking about starting a cyser in the next couple months to bottle in wine bottles and give away next Christmas.

I did some years ago, that was really incredible once it finished aging. And, again, that is something that is difficult to buy on the shelf anyway.

I've been all-grain brewing for a couple of years. i am bottling 10 gallons of Russian Imperial Stout this weekend. That's about 100 bottles - but I split with 2 buddies I brew with.

It is a fun hobby that occupies your time - and you get beer.

I have a bunch of stuff my Dad used to use to brew.
3-5 gal carboy's (sp), big stainless pot, cases of bottles, a couple of cappers asst. hoses etc.

Im wanting to brew into mini kegs for my kegerator. I need to buy a book or something to get me started.
Any suggestions I am completely green on homebrewing.

So I had to put off the 5-gallon batch the other day as my brother couldn't make it over and he wants to help, so I did a 1-gallon batch of Chinook IPA from Northern Brewer instead. It's bubbling away nicely. I have been reading into the BIAB method and bought a bag yesterday as it sounds like a good alternative to traditional all-grain since I'm in a loft with limited space. The biggest pain in the ass for me right now is room. The next 5-gallon I do I'll use the BIAB method and partial mash. I'm excited to see how this conical performs. The big draw is that you can remove trub from the collection ball after primary fermentation and secondary in the same vessel. It's debated whether or not contact with the trub will give your beer off flavors, and many don't transfer to a second fermenter at all, but I've found it does make for a cleaner beer. We'll see.

That is handy that you don't have to transfer your beer off the trub to secondary. I know guys that stick to primary because they feel the risk of exposure during a transfer outweighs potential off flavors from the trub. I transfer, but I've had a lot of really good IPA that were done in primary.

My favorite part about brewing in my condo was the stench that filled the entire building for 24 hours.

I got a shitty mr. Beer kit for a dirty santa gift. I knew it wasn't going to be quality brewing but I tried it anyway. Yup, it sucked.

Come to find out, you really need to double the yeast packs because every beer I tried was far too sweet.

Soo, this thread has motivated me to get busy brewing. Where does everyone buy their supplies? Any good online shops for an extract kit?

I used to go to Lee's Summit but they closed a few years ago.

I've bought supplies and kits at Apex...
4380 S Noland Rd, Independence, MO 64055
apexbrewwares.com

I've also bought extract kits at Grain to Glass..
1611 Swift St, North Kansas City, MO 64116
graintoglass.biz

...and Homebrew Pro Shoppe.
2061 E Santa Fe St, Olathe, KS 66062
brewcat.com

Don't really have a favorite, good experiences at each and they're all more than willing to help and talk beer.

This is the one I used to go to in Lee's Summit. Didn't know they moved to Olathe. I work nearby, so I'll pay them a visit at lunch one day.

Thanks!

This place has $7 flat rate shipping, good prices, and quick turn around.

This place has great hop prices but takes several days to get from California.

I frequent Apex and Bacchus and Barleycorn on Nieman and SM Parkway. If I need something quick I'll hit grain to glass in the Northland as I live downtown. Bacchus has an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff, and they have some great supplies and grain stock.
