Yesterday's Pliny clone ended up getting dumped down the drain because I poured an entire bottle of Defoamer 105 into it on accident. Those little "dropper" cap things are terribad. (No comments on dumping the beer please. It's gone. Let it go.) Anywho, now what I'm trying to do is figure out...

Hello, Looking for a reference for somebody that can make the final connection to service for an n-gas line I ran to my brew rig in the garage. I'm looking for a licensed professional that can make the final connection. I have the line closed and pressure tested stable at 5.5psi over the...

I have a couple pounds of blackberry puree that I prepared from fresh picked blackberries. I basically picked them, put them in a Vitamix, and then strained the fruit through a strainer covered in cheesecloth. The resulting liquid is viscous and smooth. At this point I want to add it to a...

I've seen a number of threads all over the board, so this post is less of a "This is the right way to do it" and more of a "This is how I do it" thread. Maybe a few questions to get it started: 1. For the given beer style/yeast strain combination (please disclose), how long do you usually...

Looking at the documentation for the 20 Gallon InfusSion mash tun, it looks like you can fit anywhere from 18.5 - 22 pounds of grain, depending on the grist ratio. I was hoping to get confirmation from anyone who is currently using it to see if that's the case. I read over the "First Look"...

I'm trying to figure out where an issue might be with our mashing process. Perhaps someone can shed some light on what we may be doing wrong here. 5.50Gal Batch Size Malts 10# 2-Row 2# C40 1# C80 Some 5.2pH Stabilizer (according to instructions) Water (Washington County, OR Municipal...
