So I'm getting my full size fridge today for fermentation control! This means my keg fridge can be used for serving only and I can brew any time! So what I'm saying is I think this will be my first recipe! Revvy, what do u think about using cali ale yeast 001? It would be nice to use a yeast I...

Ya, heres the thing, if you have foam, then you have carb! Like stated B4 most likely too much. It's about balancing serving pressure, line length, temp, and carb level. Your half wAy there. Try taking the head pressure off and bleed it out for a day and see how it is! The beer will. Of get...

Well mine broke... Never got to use it... Plugged it in and. Nothing.... I don't have a confirmation # so I'm sure I'm screwed...

Depends, every couple weeks to months... Just as I can. Cascadian dark is another one of many names for black ipa. Just tried one and it's really nice. A bit creamy upfront and a nice follow up from nugget cascade and chinook! The cream is from pale chocolate and a touch of roast on the nose...

So with the high fg. And the drying effect from adding sugar I could see this Working for a red ale. I want to know a little more, not just taste great! What is it like?

Right now I have a Cascadian dark ale priming, a pale in secondary, and a porter set for next brew day, thanks for asking

If you can pull off a partial mash you could do great pale and amber ales with some crystal, munch, caripils, ect for specialty grains. If you use light DME you can really make any beer you want. If your more specific with what you REALLY want. and if you can use ANY grain then we can build you...

I did this as well. Only I used a (very clean) soldering iron to burn my hash marks and numbers into my dowel. I think there is something to be said about measuring and marking your dip stick with the same temp water you will be using it at. I didn't and that would explain why I still have...

Simple answer, Yes. Your mash window is pretty small ranging from around 148F to 162F, depending on who you talk to.. Every one to two degrees will change the enzyme conversion just enough to notice if you did a side by side taste test. this gives you a large flavor variable range in that 14...

What kind of setup are you running and how are you using these pumps?

I called when I didn't receive an invoice. Took me two calls and a message but I finally got a hold of HIM. After he told me I was wrong he looked it up in his system and found my pump still sitting in the shop 2 weeks after order.. He sent it out that day and it was here a couple days later...

But not everyone uses a bucket.. Plus just one more thing your sticking in your beer..

Wait at least a week to take a reading, no point in wasting beer

Also krausen falls usually in 3 to 5 days so its possible to miss it if your not checking on it regularly.

Krausen is the active live and happy feeding yeast on the top surface of the beer.This creates a layer of white to off white foam. Its a good way to tell whats going on in your primary. If your still not sure take a gravity sample 2 days apart and see if the gravity drops. If it does, your...
