    Speidel Plastic Tanks

    Mine has the same problem and others have mentioned it too. I attach a small sanitized plastic bag over the spigot to keep the critters away.

    Free Online Beer Chemistry Course

    Thank you for not taking me literally. Brain numbing is an excellent description but my activity has been the opposite of yours. I spent the weekend testing Unit 2 experimentally. Happy to report that my alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase preformed well under extreme...

    Free Online Beer Chemistry Course

    Do students need to get a minimum score on a unit quiz in order to continue with the class? For example, if by chance there is a Unit that only covers a topic I'm not interested in, can I skip it? I'm not taking the course for credit so the final grade does not matter.

    30L Speidel fermenter

    My spigot is also off centered but it does not have what I would call a pickup tube, only the opening to the spigot. Just semantics? So you use it with the spigot outlet pointing up? Interesting idea, I'll give that I try the next time I use it.

    30L Speidel fermenter

    Last September I purchased the 30L Speidel fermenter and have now used it for 12 batches. Because I have benefitted greatly from users’ experiences on this forum I figured I should share what I have learned about this fermenter. Summary: it works as advertised and I’m not sorry I bought it...

    Chocolate Malt in Brown Ale

    Thanks for the recommendation. I have been curious to try the Fawcett pale chocolate for a while (I really like their Maris Otter) so I'll pick some up. I didn't know they had a darker chocolate and it took a bit of searching to find some. Interesting that most retailers carry the pale...

    Chocolate Malt in Brown Ale

    This is so true and unfortunately I learned it the hard way. 2 years ago I made a Porter that had a wonderful rich chocolate flavor and I have not been able to reproduce it. I didn't write down whose chocolate malt I used because at the time I assumed they were all fairly close. Since then...
