Bottomland, since you no-chill, do you adjust your timing of hop additions? How about hop stands after the boil, how do you handle those? Ever just pitch hops into the cube for your late addition?

I do a standard bittering addition as those IBUs are pretty much as high as the'll get by the end of the boil. You might pick up a few more, but nothing that breaks the recipe.
For late additions, I give my wort a stir to lower it to the 180 range, do a hop stand down to 170ish, and then into the cube. I have done hops in the cube before, but TBH, I can't remember if it did anything or not.
ETA: I never do late boil additions anymore. It's either bittering or after the boil has stopped.

I'm here also, I do FWH for bittering the everything else goes in after the boil is complete, usually at 180ish.
thanks for the info! Can you give me the site again where you get a cube?

I'd source all my lines and keg disconnects from LAHomebrew. This sounds like a lot of stuff you may rarely/never use.
YEah was thinking this. So the only thing other than the washers i will need to buy is a perlic faucet and shank, and maybe a regulator.

and 10% off at morebeer today. Can probably get most of what you need for a good price.

Do you guys pay any attention to the brand of 2-row you use?
I honestly never paid much attention, I've always just bought whatever brand was the cheapest.
A month or so ago I was talking to someone about brewing a beer like Tree House Julius and he mentioned that Tree House uses Rahr as the base malt. So I start looking into it and there are a lot of great breweries out there that are using this base malt (Hill Farmstead, Firestone Walker, Trillium, Tree House) exclusively for their American ales.
I needed more 2-row anyway so I picked up a sack of Rahr from LAHomebrew. I just kegged my first batch using it, but I'm still skeptical of how much a difference the brand of 2-row can make.

I pay attention to the pilsner I use. I use to always go with german pilsner from weyermann, but I tried some Avangard german pils last year, and I've stuck with it. I get more predictable efficiency with it and it has a little granier/cereal taste, which I prefer.

I've been using Briess for most of my base malts for American style ales. I know when i make my saison, i try to use high quality belgian and french malts (Franco-Belges). And when i did my oktoberfest, i used only Bestmalz german malts.
I do know that quality malts can affect a great beer. I never really look at price when i buy my malts, but i also don't buy in bulk. I buy mine milled based on the recipe i'm brewing at the time.
But i too, noticed that Rahr was used by a lot of great breweries like FW (BYO magazine).

I vary it up from time to time. I bought both the Rahr Pale and the Rahr 2-Row for my next two beers. Going to see how different they are.

I haven't really paid much attention to it, just generally whatever pops up first on the LAhomebrew search.
Anybody have any plans to brew this weekend?

Will most likely brew on Sunday. I have the grains and such to make an American Stout and then a BIPA, but I want to use the same yeast for both. So I think I will brew the stout first then the BIPA once the stout is ready to move off of the yeast.
A buddy and I are making two coolships to test out once the weather officially cools off. I am excited to experiment a little. We are taking a full size keg and cutting it lengthwise. Going to ferment under some citrus trees.

I've been kicking around the idea of doing this too
Posted on 11/12/15 at 9:26 am to LoneStarTiger
I have a keg in teh shed that I cannot use for anything other than turning it back in. The bottom was all wonky so when I saw the concept of using half for a coolship I figured why the hell not.

I'll likely go a much smaller batch route, maybe make a half gallon starter and leave it out and see what happens, and if it doesn't smell awful I will build it up from there.

Brewing a coffee oatmeal stout sunday. Hope to get all my kegging stuff next week, and maybe this will be my first homebrew draft beer.

1 hour all grain brew day
So.....yea....that's crazy.
Really, the only scale up issue with that is the heating water/wort time frame. When you are heating up 3 gallons of water it doesnt take very long at all. But 9 gallons of water takes much longer.

Completely missed this the first time I reviewed the 2015 guidelines...

Wow! This is pretty awesome. What a great looking/sounding beer for under 1 hour.
