It's a German Pils.

Nice and slow, yeast still got work to do Or Crash hard and kill em all

I had pulled a sample and let it sit at room temp. I had cold crashed and was unlikely to see rapid growth in fermenter.

I pulled a sample from spigot, spun on stir plate for a few and here is 48hrs later. Buddy of mine said it could be from starsan. Some did get sucked in.

Is there a calculator where i can feed in my source water and target and it just tells me what to add?

Better look. I pulled a bit from spigot and put in a sanitized container to see what it does.

So this is after 24 hrs cold crashed at 38F. Usually everything drops out. Am I being paranoid? Recipe 8.25 2 row 8oz carapils 8oz flaked barley US-05

So recently had to start going online for ingredients and noticed efficiency going up which I attributed to having my own grain mill but then came up at 97% eff so I thought maybe the 10lb bags of grain from morebeer are more than 10lb. Anyone ever weigh them?

I have a fermonster which is similar and found a bit of keg lube on the O ring tightens up the seal better than a nun's....well.. you get the idea...

So the plan in a Rosė Blonde Ale. Was going to do 5oz hibiscus and 2oz rose hips in secondary. The question is how? One thought is soak in a few oz of vodka. Other is to steep like tea and add it. I'd like to get the color but not sure I will.

I did. Buy the rolls off ebay. I got a wider roll that'll be about 25% less. Got the sealer at goodwill for like $7

When my LHBS announced they were closing i bought like 3 recipies. I didn't have a mill so I milled them there. This is 10lb

Anyone tried storing grains in vacu-seal bags to store grains?

Actually doing 10lb bags 50# of briess comes to $53.45
