Hello, Everyone
I know it's been a while; but I wanted to shout out post brew, to give thanks for all the awesome help and advice above. I started drinking a Blue Loon White Ale that I got in a kit from Northern Brewer. I used pressure fermentation going from one Keg to another under about 5-10...
Thank You all
I had a feeling my idea might not add up to a higher SG. On my next brew, I think I will try and do a lower mash volume with the pump going. I will have to keep an eye on it as the water-to-grain ratio will be closer and I don't want a clog. Then I will pull the basket out and...
Hello, All
I have the Foundry All in One System and have done a few grain BIAB brews with no issues. I have the recirculation pump for the mash step which pulls hot (not boiling liquid) from the bottom and slowly sprays it over the top of the grain for better sugar gathering.
My question is...
No, it's the whole batch. Right now I have a Zombie Dirt IPA I got from a kit and It's been sitting for a month or so still cold. Every once in a while I will try it again thinking maybe this glass will be better(hoping it was just beer shock), but it is always the same, and I always pour 1 or 2...
Thank You guys for all the Help.
My last few brews have all been IPAs. This weekend I think I am going to try and get back to my roots with a simple beer to minimize any complications of anything happening. Any suggestions?
Yes, Thanks JAReeves I am doing almost exactly what you said, and the...
Thank you, and I will look at what you suggested. I did make a sour beer 2 brews ago and I feel like my buckets might need to be retired after and getting a bottom feed bucket is just a bonus. I just did some research on purging Oxy from kegs before filling and I think that might be my issue. I...
Thank you I will look into keeping as much Oxy out as possible. I am going to get a bottom-feeding bucket so I don't need to open the bucket at all from bucket to keg.
PS if CARB is Carbonation then sometimes I force carbonate and other times I use honey or priming sugar. I normally get the amounts from the recipe or a calculator website. A few times it was really hard to get them carbonated, but that might have been due to a leak or high Hop amount. I head...
I am ready for anything...
I do use PPW hot water then Starsan for soaking and a spray bottle.
Process: Average for the last few brews
Fermenter: I use a bucket with an airlock. I use a yeast started that I make a few days before and I aerate the wort with a stone before adding the little...
Thank You and any help would be most welcome.
My last few brews I feel have had basically the same aftertaste. At first, my mouth can taste I believe what the flavor profile should be IE lemon, hoppy, or other flavors with a basic beer aftertaste. Within a week or so a strong taste of...
I just wanted to say Hello. This is the first time on the site and the first forum post ever. I mostly got my advice from YouTube, but that can only help with general advice and I thought it was time to kick my brew day up a notch.
I have brewed about 10-15 5G batches over the years and most...
