I guess my heads been in the sand. I had no idea they shut down. I was trying to order a big pitch of GY054. Now I have to use a different yeast . Sad

I've looked at different starter calculators and come up with different results . 64 gallons of 1.060 wort Using wlp004 I have 6 packs I've done 3 step starters and still can't get enough cells. Don't know what I'm doing wrong .

Spike fermenters now have 3 ports added to their lids. Looks promising. Though the hop drop opening seems small . I'll definitely be getting one. I love the new look as well! https://spikebrewing.com/collections/conical-accessories/products/3-port-lid-1

@Oginme This is conversations from another post . Didn't want to hijack so here we are . My mash water shown to add is 154 gallons . This is for 110.5 # of grain, which is way too much . My mash profile for this beer is the RIMS-HERMS single infusion light body . Then I set for tempature...

The only negative of the spike temp control coil is that its a booger to clean. I let this soak for days in pbw . Its white and can scratch off but a brush doesn't really do the job. I've always cleaned and soaked in hot water and pbw after each use. Any ideas what it is and how to easily...

Okay , so I'm using Bru N Water . For my 5.5 gallon IPA I'm using the following. 11.5 # grain bill 4.6 gallon mash - 3 gallons sparge Gypsum Mash = 5.9g Sparge = 2.8g CaCI Mash = .5g Sparge = .3g Lactic Acid Mash = 2.7ml Sparge = 1ml I get roughly 5.28 - 5.30 ph Now I'm scaling...

So I've never done a step starter before since I always brew 5 to 5.5 gallons . I'm going to be brewing 1 to 2bbl soon. I'm using Brewersfriend yeast calculator. It tells me I need a 3 step starter. I really like that it shows how much DME for each step as well . I'm guessing I cold crash and...

I've heard that brewing a 5 gallon recipe to a 30 gallon recipe the hops aren't linear. Using beersmith and setting up the equipment for a 31 gallon batch and the hops come out to 4.5 oz. Where as my 5 gallon batch is .75 oz . This addition is @60 . Thats linear its 6 xs the 5 gallon batch...

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why my hefeweizen is this color . Its never turned out this opaque before. 6 # white wheat 4 # 2 row Mashed @153 60min Wlp hefeweizen yeast

I've looked and can't find any thread or post . I slightly remember one though. If I go from a 5 gallon batch to a 30 gallon batch can I just multiply my gypsum , calcium chloride and lactic acid by 6?

I have never brewed a porter. Ive read up a bit on them and trying to brew an English brown porter. 9# MO 1# Brown Malt 1# Crystal 45 1# Choc malt Using East kent Golding hops at 60, 10 and 5 . Ibu approx 24 British Ale yeast , I think 005 . Is the 1# of Brown , Crystal and Choc too much ...

I know its not possible to bottle a nitro stout . I'm wondering if its possible to take the beer off gas blend , hook up to co2 , change my tap and bottle successfully for a beer competition. Has anybody out there done this ? I want to make sure before I attempt it . @day_trippr - I know if...

I'm debating on dry hopping with Amarillo or Mandarin Bavaria. I'm going to use zest in the last 5 min of the boil as well as a orange peel tincture. Anyone thats brewed this style what have you found ?

I use Bru N Water . I'm brewing a Wit and I was supposed to put .8g in the mash and .7g in my sparge . My normal practice is filling my Gf with the total water then pumping my sparge water into the pot . Then I add the gypsum , calcium chloride and lactic acid to each . I forgot to pump the...

so everything went great today as I brewed my Mexican Lager. It was so smooth . I didn't make much of a mess . Transfered to my fermenter then hooked it up to my glycol. About 5 min later my son n law goes into to pour a pint and he comes straight out and tells me I have a massive leak. So at...

So we decided to brew this yesterday. For the hops I used Cashmere and Sabro. The aroma was amazing. I used lime zest at the end of the boil as well. The coconut aroma was really good . I was surprised it was so noticeable. Hoping it tastes as good as it smells. Coconut - lime goodness.

My son n law and I made our first 5 gallon batch . We've made a 1 gallon at a class we took in December so we thought wed give it a shot . Turned out fantastic. Thanks to @greenmage for posting his recipe . We altered it a tad but am very pleased .

So I thought I would try dry hopping with out a bag or commando as some call it. I've always brewed with the process of no bag in kettle but bagged in fermenter. I've had the ability to cold crash but never really tried doing it . So my process was 7 days after pitching I did a yeast dump . It...

I'm normally pretty close to my projected OG . Sometimes I may be just over or just under . So close I dont even worry about it . The last 2 times I've brewed this particular beer ive been under . This time I was way under . Grain bill is 8# 2 row & 3.5# white wheat. My predicted OG is 1.063 and...
