@mauser98k98 The iodine I use is free. I also use star san in a spray bottle, which doesn't have to be rinsed. I actually prefer the star san!

  @ryantickle I normally get the yeast "near" the temperature that the wort gets cooled to.

  @dekesdad I use iodophor, and mix it with water until it is about the color of iced tea. Not very scientific, but that concentration works well and I've never had an infection. I like to make a fresh spray bottle each brew session so that I know it has the strength needed to sanitize. It's very c...

  @stltk65 You could use LME, but I'm not sure the amount you'd use. Most suggest an OG around 1.040 after boiling and cooling. You could always use 90% of the starter slurry for beer #1, and then add some cooled starter wort to the remainder to make more yeast for beer #2.

  @r3bol It's cheap and it works well. You *could* spend more on other sanitizers, but why would you?

  @903casey I kind of cobbled it together with fittings and tubing. Essentially, it is a tube inside a tube: the inner tubing moves the wort from the boil pot to the fermenter, and the outer tube passes cold water over the inner tube in the opposite direction.

  @AnotherRandomFellow It is a March pump, obtained from Northern Brewer. You can use pretty much any size cooler, as long as it fits all your grain!

  @brian052484 I normally use tap water, unless it is a very light beer, in which case I'll use those 5 gallon bottled water jugs you get at the supermarket. Reason: my water is chlorinated, and the flavor sometimes comes through on lighter beers.

  @Imguystevens There are many schools of thought. If your gravity is too high, some people add water to dilute it. If it is too low, some people boil up and cool some liquid or dry malt extract, and then add that. Both affect the flavor and alcohol content.

  My approach is to just let it be and en...

  @Tellico1 Very little. The long primary fermentation provides time for most stuff to fall to the bottom, and transferring to the keg siphons from a half in off the bottom. Any sediment that makes it through comes out in the first few ounces of the first pour, and then that's it!

@DRGLEATON All grain brewing is a lot of fun, a family activity! The sparge and boil pots were made from scrap half kegs with the tops cut off and SS nipples welded in the side near the bottoms. There are a few youtube videos that show different ways to do this.
