I have been seeing more brewers throwing in a bit of nutrient in the wort at the end of the boil.. Would this be a recommended practice if I had been getting some off flavors? Recently did a batch of the cream of three and used fermaid k for the first time.. Flavor is very different than past...

Site says 15lb cylendar will do 20-30 5gal kegs, so the 8-10 for a 5lb. Reality for me is in that 6-7 as I force carb and use to prep kegs.. Thanks

First 10gal batch / Fermaid K question. I have been making this recipe since I started brewing in 2011 but in 5gal batches. I have been working to refine my process to get good flavors and clarity. End of last year I got myself a Clawhammer 20gal system which has been a game changer. This...

I am also a new owner of the 20Gal 240v Clawhammer system and got to say I wish I had done it sooner! In fact I am kettle souring in it now. First ever sour. Feel like I got a great deal with their black friday sale and the support from Emmet has been fantastic. He is responsive and willing...

I was just looking at getting one of these...

I won a bottle at a brewing event and have been using it for a couple years. The biggest factors for me are the smell and drying out my hands when I have long exposure. I will wear gloves when needed. I use it the same as star san and have not had any negative things regarding my beverage...

I am wanting to start doing this. Would love to know your process and suggestions you have. Thanks

Thanks InkBird!!

what about just putting a coil around a keg for the reservoir? Like an immersion chiller concept, copper would be a good exchanger. I may just do this for mine as I was thinking a trunk line would be a good idea for my coffin box. The first 1/2 pint is warmer than what comes from the main...

Ive been using this IBT-4XP for my brew days and noticed last weekend that I was off by about 7 degrees. I will admit that I submerged a couple of the probes for a full 60min mash. I did oven dry them per a support email from Inkbird. I have the 4 probes (2-used, 2-never used) in a glass of...

Heck Yeah!!! Im in for sure. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the suggestion!

its a local 2-row.

Got some Malt from a new local maltster and I am looking for a good recipe to show off the malt. What would you recommend?

Interesting thread. I am tired of the propane tank thing, running out at the worst time, having to take it to get it filled. I am thinking of going NG if I can get it plumbed to the garage. $14 conversion kit for the floor burner may be worth the effort. I gotta say the HFBurner is way more...
