So I've got my first bacteria fermentation going. I brewed it sept 3rd, so we're pretty close to 3 months. It's being fermented with ecy bug county, plus some wood chips from a batch with ecy farmhouse Brett. Active fermentation is long over, and I'm starting to get some funky white rafty...

I brewed a 1.053 pale on Tuesday, hit it with some O2 and nutrient, and pitched a healthy starter of ECY29, aka the Conan strain. I woke up on Wednesday, and to my dismay, the ferm temps had shot up to 78 degrees:( I thought I had it under control with my ferm chamber, but these conditions...

Hey everyone. Too months ago I brewed a light saison, OG 1.049, and fermented it with ecy03 farmhouse Brett. Last month I took a sample, it was down to 1.010 and was tasting tart. I just took another sample, it's down to 1.008 and the tartness has asserted itself even more. It's actually...

Hey friends! Gonna be spending a week on lake Agmar in the Poconos with the lady and some friends in a week and a half. I always try to figure out some sort of craft beer destination to get my fix when I travel. Gonna be fishing most of the time, but I needs my good beer! Whether its a...

I'm all over the place. I've managed to procure some interesting wild yeast/bacteria blends, and I'm diving headlong into the wild ale thing. Here's my proposed grain bill for a flanders red: Batch size: 5.4 gal Yeast: ECY bugfarm SRM: 11,7 IBU: 14.7 Anticipated OG: 1.052 anticipated ABV: 6%...

Hey everyone. So I have some ecy03, the farmhouse brett, and bug farm waiting in the wings for the next few brews. I also have some dregs from a few bottles of Sour in the Rye. Here is where I'm hanging up, my options are: A) make a rustic saison with the ecy03, leave it as is, then make a...

I had five gallons of Hefe fermented by Wyeast 3068 in primary for about 2 weeks before kegging. I rushed it into the keg (I know, not ideal), and I'm noticing the infamous sulfur smell. It's been kegged for about 3 days. Will the sulfur condition out in the cold kegerator, or does it...

Ok, I'm a little confused. It seems that most gas outlets on regulators are 5/16", but, according to cornykeg.com, their t752hp is described as "Dual Body CO2 regulator can have two different pressures coming from one tank. Regulator comes with built in gasket, also comes with an optional 1/4...

I have a vial of Ecy03 farmhouse brett burning a hole in my proverbial brewing pocket. What kind of saison recipes have you guys and girls been finding success with while using this strain? I've brewed with ECy08, which is the saison blend minus the brett, and I enjoyed the results. How...

Title pretty much says it all! Looking for a reasonably priced dual body, three gauge regulator for my newfound kegging obsession. I am in Long Island, and have an uncut sanke keg if you're looking for a trade. Otherwise, I'll just pay ya good old Paypal cash:D.

First off, thanks way in advance for any help...I understand that this can be tedious, but I am having no luck trying to decipher the information here into usable knowledge. I've been brewing all grain with Poland Spring gallon jugs and mineral additions as my brewing water. I'd really...

So I finally picked up my first kegerator. There's only about five feet of beer line, so I'd like to increase the length to about nine. How do I orient the extra line within the kegerator? I know most ppl say to use about nine feet, but I have no idea where to situate the extra footage! Do I...

I finally got around to brewing my Brett trois saison yesterday. Ended up wildly underestimating my boil off....didn't account for the 90 minute boil... I topped up with some water and got 6 gallons,of 1.060 wort. Recipe was. 5 lb pils, 1 lb 6row, 1 lb wheat, 1 lb rye, 1.5 lb Munich, 1 lb...

Pretty much what the title states. I'm looking for a functioning kegerator. 1 or 2 taps. I had a Danby unit lined up, but it was sold out from underneath me. Definitely can't break the bank, but I do have cash in hand! Let's see what you have!

So I'm finally ready to take the step to kegging. I've realized that bottling is the single biggest limiting factor of my brewing....I hate the whole process. I'm going to be picking up a Danby kegerator for a good price locally... Are they ready to go for corny kegs? I know I'll have to get...

Anyone have a spare O2 setup or small stirplate hanging around? After a stuck fermentation, I've decided it's time to step up my oxygenation and yeast propagation games. As for O2 systems, I'm looking for something along the lines of what Williams brewing offers...an O2 regulator, some...

Hello everyone! I just got my hands on some New Zealand hops for the first time, and I'm dying to make an IPA out of them. I tried Sierra Nevada's Southern Hemisphere Harvest, and absolutely loved it. Here's their page on the beer:http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/harvest_southern.html...

Hey everyone. So I did a slightly modified version of a DFH 90 minute clone, but I underestimated my efficiency and the beer comes in around 10% alcohol....which is totally fine by me, haha. My question is; I am set to bottle this Tuesday, have I hit the maximum alcohol tolerance of the...

Hey everyone! I'm gonna be brewing sort-of DFH 90 minute clone. I'm looking at about a 1.085 OG, mashed low and slow for max fermentables. I don't have oxygenation capabilities, but I will shake the dirt outta the fermentor. I do have decent (swamp style) control over my ferm temps...

Hey everyone. This is sort of a permutation of Edworts wounded knee IPA, with some changes. If you have any suggestions for the hop shedule/grain bill, please chime in! 12lb american 2-row 1lb Munich .75 crystal 60 Beer calculus has me at a 1.065 with a 70% mash efficiency for a 5.5 gallon...
