    Fermenting under pressure questions

    I'm in the process of fermenting a lager under pressure for the first time and had a few questions. I'm trying to keep it simple and straightforward as possible. I have my spunding valve set at 15psi and I plan on leaving it until final gravity. When transferring from my fermenting keg to my...

    Bootleg Biology: Mad Fermentationist Brett Saison

    Just got my score sheets back from the NHC finals...good scores but no medals. It's a basic Saison base with Ekuanot hops. A little over a year old and still tasting great. Thanks for letting us try your awesome yeast!

    I need help with 240v gfci tripping

    So I decided to look closer into the element and I unscrewed the housing and found water in there. I guess that would probably trip the breaker? I included pictures again. you'll have to excuse my dirty/gross element... https://imgur.com/9heRrJn https://imgur.com/qM4I0wc...

    I need help with 240v gfci tripping

    Sorry I'm pretty new at this but how would I go about energize the element? I assume when you say "disconnect your element from the breaker" you mean my control box? I pretty sure I would be able to get my hands on a megger meter. I'll try testing with that. Thanks

    I need help with 240v gfci tripping

    I recently installed a 240v gfci breaker for my pre built 240v electric control panel and a 4500w ULWD heating element. Ever since installing the gfci breaker, it keeps tripping for some reason. When the breaker was installed, I put about 5 gallons of water in my pot to test out the breaker in...

    Questions about EBIAB mash recirculation

    I'm planning a brewday with my newly built EBIAB system. I have a fews questions about mash recirculation. I will be using a PID controller to control the mash temps and have a chugger pump with a ball valve on the outlet side to adjust the outflow speed. 1. What should the mash water flow...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Like Pkrd said 10 days should be good. I would start checking the gravity every 2 days for consistent numbers.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    I have to take back what I said. After sitting in the keg for 3-4 weeks it really turned around and is tasting pretty damn good. Sorry for being so harsh at first, this is a great recipe. Might have to try it again with a few modifications.

    Saison Cottage House Saison

    OP what was your brewhouse efficiency? I was about 11 points under your OG with a 72% brewhouse efficiency and I always seems to hit the numbers on other recipes. Not sure what I did wrong... EDIT: nevermind just remembered I forgot the honey and just found your efficiency at 75%

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    I made this beer recently and while it was clean and drinkable, mine came out very very dry and with very low hop presence. I was hoping someone could explain what might of been the cause. To start things off my OG was 1.043 and it fermented down to 1.004 after 2 weeks. The yeast I had on hand...

    Boiling with a "Love" PID

    I recently bought a panel with a pre-installed "love" PID controller. For boiling, I've been putting it manual mode and dialing it down to about 30-40% power to have a decent boil that's not super vigorous and still have an acceptable boil off. The element turns off and on periodically, which...

    Brau Supply

    I'm curious, could you recommend this system if I wanted to just boil my wort in this and mash using a regular cooler setup? While the BIAB and mash circulation seems nice, I think I would prefer to just use this for heating strike water and boiling indoors.

    Suggestions for a prebuilt electric kettle?

    I didn't even think about induction. Is there any reason why that isn't a more popular option? any cons to induction? I've been going back and forth between something pre built like the colorado brew supply, Brau or Bellybuster and maybe doing a little DIY... is it as simple as buying a...

    Suggestions for a prebuilt electric kettle?

    I'm currently looking for a kettle that can boil 6.5 gallons of water. I'm not interested in mashing or recirculating or BIAB in the kettle. I just want to heat up strike water and boil wort in the kettle. What kind of options do I have? Everything I've been looking at is way more than what I...
