Aging it minimum of a year is key.

Any electric brewers out there? I moved to an apartment and can't store LP gas on premises. Further, there doesn't appear to be an outdoor water spigot to use. As a result, I'm thinking of putting an element in one of my kettles and brewing in the kitchen.
The panel in the apartment has 200amp breakers and the outlets are all 120v. I wonder if a 1600w element will work well enough - https://www.morebeer.com/products/16...g-element.html I could supplement this by putting the kettle on the gas stove for boiling.
Is there a stronger element I could use with my electric limitations?

120v x 15a = 1800w is probably the max size that you can use without changing out the outlet. I think that a gas stove would put out a lot more heat than that. I brew 5 gal batches on my electric stove (230v 2500w burner element) , it just takes a bit longer.

The gas stove has 12,500 btu and a 8,000 btu burner I can straddle my kettle across. I’ll have to test how long it takes to get water up to temp.

Saw this 1800w electric burner today. Might work.

Home Brew Maggots
Pulled the kit out of the back of the garage for the first time since I moved back in November. It took a while to locate everything, but I had grains in airtight buckets and found my recipes.
I brewed adouble batch - an IPA with Citra and a Pale Ale with Centennial and Cascade.
It’s a new water source (city line vs my old sweet water well) so I crushed some campden but added my brewing salts as I normally would. They will be an experiment.
Now lets hope now one in my building fucks with the fermenters in the basement (they are well marked).

So my last effort was generally a bust. using the city water, even treated, lead to one full batch getting a drain pour and the other is something I’ll drink but won’t share with others.
Today I went to the co-op and started with their RO water. I added some gypsum and some CaCl. It will be a saison that I’ve brewed a few times over the years. it should like the heat in my garage this time of year.

Moved to Burlington, VT.
That double batch was a disaster. The city water is very chlorinated and I had to dump the pale ale (first time ever). I tried using campden tabs, but it just didn’t work for me. The IPA was okay and it got better over time, but still not up to par.
Luckily, I have access to R/O water and brewed a Saison a few weeks ago with it, which came out great. I’m happy to be back at it and will likely brew a coconut porter in a few weeks.

I went looking for my gear a few months back and honestly believe my wife liquidated my home brew assets

Can’t you just boil off that chlorine? 15 mins should do it.

brewing jong here, would a brita filter be sufficient to remove any chloramines?

Should have worked during the brewing process then, no?
Honestly, the R/O water is free and only a few blocks away so I can fill up some 5 gallon buckets to brew with. I have to build it up some, but that gives me the flexibility to add minerals/salts depending on the beer beingn brewed.
The results with my most recent batch have me convinced.

I’m taking a hiatus from brewing for a little while and am gonna get rid of alot of gear. Figured I’d post this up here first if a local (or nearby mag) wants it.
Can negotiate a price if someone interested.
Pick up in sandy, ut.
Have 5 gallon kegs, co2 tank, and regulators to go with as well.
