I'm of the opposite opinion. One fermenting bucket and one bottling bucket is perfect 90% of the time. I have a glass carboy, but I only use it for bulk aging, an don't even do that anymore now that I keg.

I will be brewing a double chocolate stout tonight. I am going to let it age a good 3 months before I tap it.
I also have a Hop Rod Rye clone that I need to get going.

Well did an ESB today. First day using my new pot. why didn't I get a better pot before? It was only 40 bucks at Wallys and had a bottom that is about 1/2 inch thick and built like a tank.absolutely no scorching and it was 22 qt.It didn't even try to boil over.I might even be able to get away with a 5 gal boil. Now I need a wort chiller.

Did you do a stove top boil? How many gallons did you do?

Yup it was stove top. I've heard much good about using turkey fryers, FWIW. I only did a 3.5 gallon boil but I think I could have done 4 and if I push it MAYBE even 5. What a difference I didn't have to watch it like a hawk. NICE. It's already started to bubble.

Just brewed up a Nut Brown on Sat. Trying a blow off tube for the first time, so I'm interested to see how that goes. So far, after two days, there is no "blow off" to speak off. Just acting as a typical airlock. I saw some pictures of some really nasty **** coming out of other peoples' tubes before, so this makes me wonder if I've done something wrong. More than likely, I'll say I didn't and I just need to be more patient.

I keep thinking about getting that same pot at Wallyworld and doing 4gallon boils, maybe even 5. Just not sure if my stove will get hot enough to boil that much water and how long it would take.

I love Bear Republics Hop Rod Rye, so hopefully this one turns out close to the same. It will be nice to have 5gallons of it on tap in my kitchen!

I'm looking to get my hands on a good Pale Ale recipe. Anyone got something they'd like to share?
