I'm posting these videos as I make them. I'm brewing the Mac & Jack Amber Clone and will have a step by step video tutorial. The first 2 videos are on making a starter beer. Due to You Tube limitations, the videos must be 10 minutes or shorter so that's why they're chopped. This will take about 5 weeks to complete as we're following this beer from "soup to nuts" or from yeast starter to video pour of the finished product.

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to making this set of videos, actually.

D, I don't really have a spot for a gallon of star-san. I don't like to guess about my solutions. So, I dump them and make new ones.

Besides Beer, my favorite beverage is green tea. I store my Star San in five Arizona Green Tea Jugs:

(eech, not the Diet, tho!)
It is a 5,

Which means that it is Polypropylene. Which means that it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.
Star San lasts too long and is too pricey for me to even think about dumping it until it is spent!

cool I see you did decide to do a start to finish videos on an all grain brew... smile this will help allot of new brewer that want to get into all grain brewing. I like the hop grenade T-shirt smile I was thinking about doing my first all grain since I have made my MLT 10gal version. I have a recipe in mind for a first all grain brew.

Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale - All Grain
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Nottingham
Yeast Starter: Nope
Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: Nope
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5
Original Gravity: 1.051
Final Gravity: 1.011
IBU: 39
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 5 SRM
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 10 Days at 68 degrees

Grain Bill
8 lbs. 2-Row Pale Malt
2 lbs. Vienna Malt
0.5 lb. Crystal 10L Malt

Mash
Single Infusion mash for 60 minutes at 152 degrees.
I batch sparge in a 10 gallon water cooler with a stainless braid manifold. After 60 minutes, add 5 quarts of 175 degree water and begin vorlauf. My system only takes about 2 quarts before it clears up, then it's wide open to drain in the kettle. Have another 3.25 gallons of 175 degree water ready for the next batch sparge. You should then get 6.5 gallons to your kettle for the boil.

Note: this is not my recipe this is just the recipe and instructions that I am going to use for my first all grain brew.

I hear you on the cost. I've thought about that a lot and I've determined that I'd rather pay the price and know for certain that my star-san is still usable.

And I love the diet green tea!
