    Another US-05 experiment... temperature fluctuations

    I know most of my beers run 6-10º warmer than ambient. Just made a black ipa and its in my basement holding steady at 59-60 and beer temp is sitting at 68 currently. Not much air circulation. But other beers I have done have barely warmed above ambient. I think its black magic or witchcraft...

    Feeling a little stupid

    U can dry hop in primary. Just let it ferment out 2 to 3 weeks and then dry hop 5 to x amount of days then bottle or keg. Although I have read of a method where u start dry hop at peak krausen with amazing results so it was prob fine.

    You do not want to let the nylon grain bags catch fire

    although I hate to tell this I was moving my keggle off the burner to my beer stand and bumped bottom against leg. Instant burn but then, but then, then I set it down where it started to burn my carpet in garage. Then tilted it with one hand and stuck hand under to pick it up quickly. Needless...

    Direct Fire MLT Insulation Project

    What kind of mineral wool are you guys using. As a insulator by trade I know some of that stuff can be very nasty till its all sealed up. Looks great though.

    Back with an update and a question :)

    Don't scrape it back down. I have been told here the stuff that forms when the krausen falls can lead to off flavors. And to avoid pushing back into the beer to help minimize what falls back down into your beer. Idk just what I've heard. I'm a newb so don't trust me 100%

    astringent?

    Well thank you its been a mystery of mine. My lhbs says the water is amazing and they have no issues. I may bring them a sample. Would it take so long in keg to start presenting itself like that. That was what shocked me was how there was literally no off flavor then bam here I am lol.

    astringent?

    Ok guys so I'm on about brew number 12. I have always had this strange off flavor. I thought it was the extract so I switched to Ag with same results. It made me stop for brewing for about a year and back into it. So I made the bells 2h clone and kegged it (also a first). Ok started out in keg...
