GREAT launch!

According to NasaSpaceflight Starship license has been granted.

Welcome to the group! There's a UK group too, not as large as HBT. You might find someone close to you on the UK site. You'll definitely get lots of useful advice here too.

I expect that with the Starship since it's still experimental. I hope Starliner doesn't have to.

Possibly a double header week!

I'm sure they are getting paid real well.

Welcome to the gang! Smoked meat and beer are a great combination, you'll lots of both here plus a whole lot of other great stuff.

Welcome to the community! As you're brewing with those kits look at how the recipe comes together. Read up on what each of the ingredients bring to the party. By understanding what each role plays you can start to learn to design your own recipes. Start out simple though then make small changes...

I just brewed a wheat, it was all grain though but I added honey malt to it as Rish suggested. I also added whole tart cherries. Kegged, added the fruit in a cheese cloth bag.

Save where you can. All hobbies are costing a little more theses days. If it's too expensive to brew your own, move on.

I'm seeing June 6 now as the Starship ITF-4. Check ahead of time in case it changes again. So far they don't have launch approval yet.

Those poor astronauts, climbing in and out of that capsule, when do they finally say, "I give up, I'm staying home!".

Michigan, the UP is my home state. I just happen to live in Wisconsin. Welcome back to brewing and the forum! I brew in the basement, all grain so not much help, but you got lots of solid advice already that should help give you some ideas for your brewing.

With the wacky weather plowing through the country I wouldn't expect grain prices going down. Maybe before harvest time it'll be better. Lots of factors affecting our brewing ingredients.

Having a tower might make things a little easier, still a "might" though.

Good point! If your keg is empty, hook everything up on it for a dry fit into that fridge. You got two lines/connectors to deal with. Also might want to determine where your co2 tank is going to fit - inside or outside. Outside means you're going to need to get the hose inside. That can be...

From my end, even with the model number it's hard to determine if the door needs to be modified. You can figure that out easier. Most of those doors are easy to modify if you need to.

You're going to have to measure the usable bottom portion inside the fridge first, then the diameter of the keg you want to use. Or place your empty keg in and see if the door hits it. It may be possible your keg will fit without modify the door.

I do a full volume mash and no sparge method. You do need a large mash tun to hold everything though. Mine is an insulated cooler, slotted manifold on the bottom and drain valve. The cooler cover also has a spray head so I can do recirculation with a small pump. I don't use that very often.

Knowing the gravity with give you an idea if fermentation has stopped. If it's not you might want to roust it a little. Depending on your secondary vessel you could gently shake it. If the yeast has slowed down a little shake could wake them up to eat more of the sugar present.
