I made a batch yesterday and flushed my mash tun with pbw with my recirculating pump. I drained everything then flushed is again with hot water and rinsed everything. My question is, will there be PBW in the nooks and crannies of my pump or will the water flush rinse that away?
IM making a watermelon beer and adding jolly ranchers tot he vodka for 24 hours then adding it to the secondary. Im only using about 16oz of vodka and 30 jolly ranchers.
My questions is, should I repitch more yeast after I add the vodka infused jolly ranchers?
I think what I was looking for was a better way to control temps like a sous vide.
With a sous vide you can control mash and strike temp to the almost exact temperature but with Induction I guess its the same as gas and stove top.
Thanks for the info. I was given a sous vide and an induction...
My question is this: would you use an induction plate for heating strike and mash water? I am asking to see if you can get the mash and strike water to the temperature you need rather then heating it up ont he gas burner or electric stovetop.
I am really happy I found this thread.
I just made a Neipa yesterday.
1.051 OG 19L 20C pitched WLP095 package with no starter.
Aerated the wort for 5 minutes.
Normally I see fermentation by the next morning but this morning when I got up there was nothing in the airlock moving at all.

Checked the pH today and it was 3.5.
Boiled for 30 minutes, chilled it and pitched my yeast. It is a culture of a 34/70 and wlp029. I like the way it finishes. It gives it a nice clean bready flavor without the lager taste.
Thanks. I was worried because I have seen other posts about WLP677 making a krausen. Ive been monitoring the pH every 2 days and checking. Starting pH was 5.5, this morning it was 5.3
Hi all.

Did a full 60 Minute boil and per the pitching instructions on the WLP label it said optimum pitch temp...
This helps a lot. I made a Kolsch last week and it fermented really fast (it was in a bucket)
When I went to rack to secondary there were these white floaty things all over the place and I wondered if maybe the batch went bad. When I racked it I was careful not to put any of these into the...
Im looking into upgrading from my 5 gallon pot to an 8. I brew on my stove top (electric) I mostly brew 5 gallon batches (18.5L) and I probably wont brew more then that for now.
Should I go with an 8 gallon or a 10?
