I am 50 min into my mash and the ****ing power goes out on a sun shining day. If power doesn't come back on in the next 30 min I'll need to wait until tomorrow morning to finish. Do I need to do anything special to maintain the integrity of the wort so I can go to the boil tomorrow? It's pretty...

Brewing on Saturday. Have brewed many NEIPAs over the last few years so just looking to maybe change up the hops a bit. I normally use juicy hop varieties when brewing this style. Grain bill 63.8% Pilsner 12.8% Malted Oats 12.8% White wheat 8.5% flaked oats 2.1% Honey malt Yeast: Omega Voss...

So I've used Hornindal and Voss and just threw in dry hops at whatever temp I was fermenting at. Just curious what others are doing. Drop temp or leave at fermentation temp?

I'm getting ready to make a starter and noticed a little dark layer. I've never noticed this before. Is this normal?

I just replaced my existing thermostat with the Sensi. I'm sure there are some brewer's who have the same thermostat. My question is for the temperature offset. Compared to my previous thermostat I find the Sensi turns on/off more then the previous. I want to extend the time between cycles. If I...

For those who have an All Rounder or similar what is the easiest/best way to transfer beer? I am having the hardest time with this crap. Thought it would be easy but it's anything but.

After about 3 hrs its time to add veggies and liquid. Probably gonna be another 3 hrs before it's ready. Also have some baked beans. Don't know about you guys but it's FN hot here in S. Louisiana.

Looking to brew a German Pils using the above that I harvested from a starter I made last year. According to Home Brew Dads calculator, I would need to do a 3 step starter, (2L each) since the viability is only 15%. I don't have the time to do a 3 step starter and to be honest, don't really want...

made my starter last night. Added my pack of Voss at 730p. Woke up this morning to a mess. This is the second time in the last two weeks that the foaming and yeast have exceeded my flask.Friday? Are most using less water? Just trying to figure out the issue to prevent from happening again. I...

This is more of a rant than anything else. I'm now working from home, 4 hrs on friday. This is a good thing. Decided to brew a session IPA bc that's what my wife likes to drink and honestly I don't mind them either. I also figured I would smoke a pork butt since my smoker is basically set and...

I've used Oyl 091(Hornindal) & Oyl 052 (DIPA). How does Oyl 200 (Tropical) and Oyl 061 (Voss) compare? What are your favorite Omega strains for NEIPA's?

How does one remove? I've tried PBW, OXY, Bar Keepers Friend and those three do not remove. Would citric acid work or is there another solution?

Anyone using? If so worth the buy? I currently use a CUSS IC which I really like. The problem is using an electric 110v system with a boil coil just doesn't cut it. When I put the chiller in, the wort never gets back to a boil. Looking for an inexpensive counterflow chiller that can chill 5.75...

I ferment in a SSBT brew bucket and installed a thermo well in the lid. All settings are 1 degree. Once fermentation starts I normally experience a 2 degree temp swing but today I see a 5 degree swing. I don't use any type of heating but looking for ways to prevent that much of a swing. For...

Is anyone using a VPN or mobile internet security apps on their mobile devices? If so would like details on what's being used and which to stay away from. I visit alot of places that have public wifi, most of which require a password that is displayed in that establishment. Just trying to...

I've been using the crappy Amazon Fire HD for a couple years now. This thing is freaking SLOW. If Amazon would get their heads out of their azz's and make a tablet with a better processor and at least 6 GB's of RAM it would not be a bad tablet. Anyway, looking at: Samsung Tab 6 Surface Go. I...

Dumb question. Received today. Didn't have any tape on the threads. Is the white tape the correct one to use?

Brewed yesterday and pitched a pack of rehydrated US 05 at 1230 yesterday (noon). At 4PM sunday still no activity. At what point do I need to consider repitching?

So I have w NEIPA kit I will be brewing tomorrow. 11 lb 2 row 2 lb each flaked oats and wheat 1 lb dextrose Never used dextrose in any of my brews or any of the many NEIPA's I've brewed. Is it necessary to add the dextrose or can I eliminate? What benefit does dextrose add in this style?
