I did not know to. . I can raise it now.

Thanks for this. Would you raise the temps at all to finish or just leave at 62f?

Hey folks, I let my kolsh sit in primary for two weeks at 62F. Transferred to secondary and dumped in my 3 pint can of raspberry puree. How long should I let this sit on the fruit in secondary for max flavor? I'd read that you pull most flavor out of the puree after a week. Is this accurate?

What is the most common way to measure and correct this if it needs correcting?

I've used centennial before but I was not able to discern flavors vs a previous batch... it was good however! This batch, overall I'm using... 60 minutes - bittering - .5 magnum 5 minutes - .5oz Amarillo - 1oz Citra 0 minutes - 1oz Lemondrop Cool to 145F/whirlpool - 1/2oz Amarillo - 1oz...

Looking to adjust this a bit but not sure what direction to go in regarding different hops for brighter flavor. Lemondrop? Idaho 7? Currently I get pineapple and strawberry out of this recipe. It's one of my favorite recipes and my house PA currently. Thoughts? Mash at 158 for body -...

I've used a cut out gallon milk jug for a coffee bean funnel for seven years now. There's a lot of good materials that go in to our recycling bin.

These are great for a multitude of uses. I used them as washers between two pieces of wood so they could pivot as well as a slider for another piece of wood with felt pads on them.

I don't want to dedicate room for a fridge in my house at this time. This stores with the fermenter in it so it doesn't take up much more room. This has evolved a bit. Uses the 6.5 gallon Genesis fermenter. Next thing I'd like to replace is the plywood partition with a plastic cutting board...

Ah okay. Something else to try. What is your temperature profile and how many days of fermentation to reach this?

Glad to hear it's going well. The peace of mind is worth it! I was given 10mg of valium before going in. I had no cares. Even created a haiku for my Dr... To Doctor Massan I wish to give many thanks Soon, I'm shooting blanks He had me repeat it so his nurse could write it down. Probably...

5 gallon batch size Thanks for the insightful response. I'll try the 90 minute mash down the road as a new variable.

10.5lbs of 2 row 148F mash temp 60 min mash 60 min boil OG 1.042 4 days at 62F 3 days at 68F FG 1.009 US05 yeast What sort of FG should I aim for for a Pale Ale given the above variables? Thanks, Hans

I scraped that area with a spoon a few times throughout my boil and pretty minimal build-up there.
