    Cold crash length?

    Thanks for additional info. For those with questions like mine, I'll post the results for a 2-day cold crash and bottling ( still determining whether to bottle and prime cold or bring to room temp based on both sides presenting good arguments)

    Cold crash length?

    And that's why I asked!😜 Thanks all for the advice. I kick it down to 34ish Wednesday/Thursday for a bottle day of Saturday and bring up to room temp that afternoon. Appreciate the help. Can't wait to get to the point I can answer others questions! Prost!

    Cold crash length?

    Black IPA that I want to cold crash, now I have capabilities. Any recommendations for length and at what temp? 50-55 seems to be the consensus just haven't got a solid time frame. Also, should I allow to come back to room temp before bottling? Thanks all!

    Clogged bazooka

    BackAlley, it looks like it will depend on the size of you boil kettle and immersion chiller. My 10 gallon kettle looks like it would have enough room for a chiller but I can't be sure since I use a chill plate. The hop spider is about 3-5 inches maybe in diameter

    Clogged bazooka

    So on my second AG batch, black IPA, I hit a snag on a clogged ball valve running to chill plate. I'm still in process of adding more equipment but any preferences on bazooka versus false bottom for the kettle? Would it have made a difference? Haven't had any issues with false bottom on mash tun...

    Overcarbonated?

    So I did a racer 5 clone and bottled back on 3/29/13. While I missed FG, overall smelled and tasted very close. However, now 3 months later, I opened a bottle that has been in the fridge for about four weeks. Foam crazy! Just curious as to what has caused this over the 3 months. I guess it's a...

    Infection?

    I hit target and was steady for three days. Seemed to transfer to bottling bucket okay. We'll see if I get any bombs in next few days before lagering them

    Infection?

    Tastes good but first time I've had anything sitting on top like this. Proceeding with bottling!

    Infection?

    Gravity is stable too

    Infection?

    First time I've seen this. Belgian saison ale. Thoughts? About to start bottling now. Thanks!
