I used 1/2 cup DME 1300ml water. boiled about 15-20 minutes (boiled down to 1000ml). I have it on an unheated stir plate. Not much is going on with the starter, no krausen. This is my first starter with a stir plate. My house is about 65 degrees.

Hi everyone. Been gone a while, year or so. I think I forgot everything I learned. Please pardon any daft questions. How do I search a topic or forum?

I ordered a pound of Bullion and Legacy hop pellets. Legacy hops profile lists, grapefruit, black currant, floral and spicy aromas. I understand Bullion used to be used a lot for bittering. Both hops are new to me. Trying to get out of my "C" hop rut. I am brewing a Specialty IPA, a black...

Love this beer! Anyone find any info about this beer besides the "very" limited info on the Uintah website. This will be my next brew, need help with hops etc. I am suspecting patent barley and Crystal 60? Thinking of E-mailing them for more info. I should just go on a Brewery tour and see...

What a crazy brew day. Typically my brew days are smooth and predictable. I got my equipment and materials ready last night, excited about my Double Wide inspired recipie. LHBS forgot 1 of my hops, no probem. Ready to go this morning. It is an absolutely beautiful day today in Salt Lake...

I have 12 oz and 22 oz with labels. Salt Lake area.

Is 1 1/2 tablets enough to kill possible infection in 5 gallons beer? Racked my Porter to a keg and it tasted like the beginning of an acetobar infection. Smelled great, but a bit acidic.

My Kegco dual regulator keeps creeping up over a 4-8 hour period. I can't find the sweet spot on the dial to keep it under 18 PSI. I release the pressure turn dial down and within a few hours it is way up again. It seems the adjustment between 0 PSI and 18PSI is impossible to get. I am...

Sorry in advance if this is a really dumb question. I am new to kegging. I want to change out my 5 foot lines in my kegerator to 10 foot. I am thinking I will have to take the tower apart and connect the new lines? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. This will be first time...

The hazards of sanitizing in the oven:D I guess I should've checked to see if it was ceramic.

Long story, short. Brewed a light hybrid, thought about doing my first lager wih 34/70. I changed my mind at the end of the boil and used US-05. I made a typo on my brewing calculator, instead of 1.059 OG I got 1.073. 1 pkg of 05 probably not enough, oh well. Fast forward 36 hours. I have...

I am mashing right now. I can't find my irish moss tablets any substitutions for the boil.

I have made the SN Ruthless Rye 2 times with very slight hop substitutions. I need some ideas, I have frozen/frazzeled Chrismas brain. I have noted the 1 1/2 chocolate is too browning. Looking for a P/M recipe. I have these ingredients and am looking for IBU's around 60 with a soft...

Good news!! I am getting a kegerator for Christmas. Bad news I am overwelmed by the contrasting and volume of information. I have been researching various kegerators. I have more questions than awnsers. What is system D? What is the most available kegs? What are the best kegs? Are...

Not really a theory, a thought. In a fermentation vessel CO2 developes and the headspace is filled. As it builds the gas is pushed out through the airlock. When the production lessens the gas does not have the volume to push through the airlock? Here is the question. Does CO2 remain at the...

I just had my first one, I get it now.

Yummy!!

I was trying to be efficient with my time yesterday while I was brewing. The end result was my mash temps were all over the place. I am partial mashing with efficiencies ranging from 55%-65%. I was brewing an English Northern Mild. End result 77% efficiency. This beer is going to be too dry...

I finally found my water report. I am looking for feedback on treating it if necessary. We have added fluoride. I apologize for the low tech post. I use a simple program for my recipe calculations. Our water is Big Cottonwood and Jordan Valley (2nd and 5th columns). Let me know if you can't read...

I don't have anything around with small milliliter measurements. I figure about 1 1/2 milliliter per quart of StarSan. So this would equate to a bit less than 1/4 teaspoon right? Seems like such a small amount.
