Hello, I made a Weinhenstephaner clone last week. All was good from the primary. After two days in the secondary it became infected. I sanitized everything, well at least I thought I did. This was my first infection in a beer in probably 3 years. I'm trying to pinpoint it. Wheat beers by nature...

Apple Strawberry Kiwi Hard Cider. My OG is 1.060, 6.4 gallons. Can I expect a 5-6% ABV with this yeast or should I add sugar? This is first my first cider. It will be stored in a temperature controlled fermentation chamber at 70*.

Fermentation Chamber Wiring Help PID w/ SSR Heat & Cooling Please assist me with AGPtek PID TA4-SSR wiring. I've searched high and low for a wiring diagram but cannot find one for what I am trying to accomplish. I want the unit to switch a cooler (True GDM49) and personal heater (200W) on and...

In case anyone is wondering how much volume DME is per gram. 1 cup = >|< 130 grams of LME by weight. In my experience most of my big stir plate starters required around 101 grams of DME per 1 Liter required.

I've been making beers for years but never a cider. The love o my life came to me one day and said, you know you're being selfish. I said, what? She, you're making all these great beers and you haven't made me a cider yet. So where do I begin? I would like to do something along the lines of wood...

I have a True GDM49 left over from my bar. If I don't sell it I am going to convert it into a temp controlled fermenting chamber of sorts. I would like to run some sort of temperature relay switch that has the ability to switch the unit on and off only when it needs to be in my specified range...

More beer nerdery. I'll never need more than 2.5L starter. 1" stir bar 10L of water. Just trying to see what my home made plate is capable of. I have to make a 2.5L starter next week. Running a 24 hour test with gfci installed. http://youtu.be/0nVUi3J1BzI http://youtu.be/Tb4oztGqMCM...

Figured I would start this thread to help others make a cheap and simple TAD - CO2 tank conversion. When I get the rest of my equipment in I'll continue on. Parts needed to connect to TAD. 1. 5/8" hose washer 2. 3/4" - 1/2" threaded adapter - pvc 3. 1/2" threaded - 3/8" OD compression...

Happy National American Beer Day. Brewed and racked I n Panama City, FL Yahzee's Bark At The Moon Imperial IPA - 10.4% ABV 105.5 IBUs

I have an Imperial IPA in the secondary. Most of the yeast looks like it has settled in the conical fermenter in the secondary. This is what I pulled out of the primary. Is any of it yeast that can be washed? It all just looks like sludge to me.

I've been looking through some old threads and yet to find a good Tap A Draft (TAD) CO2 conversion thread, one that gives a detailed list of parts that also allow to connect and disconnect one or more 6L kegs. Please hook a brother up. This is the best one I've found. Please keep in mind, I...

I was shooting for 1.117 OG - achieved 1.110 @ 52.2 % efficiency. No 12% Smokey Chocolate Milk Stout, I have to settle for 11.1% ABV. It has a very complex flavor. Lot of chocolate up front, then some sweet citrus bitterness and then smokey spice left on the tongue. The GF said its better than...

Today on Cold Crash Files we have created, with our $18 stir plate, a 400B starter cold crashing for a 12% smokey chocolate milk stout I'm brewing tomorrow. The mystery I have to solve is why these Celis are disappearing so fast. Three of them have seemed to open themselves and get empty in 20...

I love this little tracking app. TwistedBrew if anyone wants to add.

I know this thing gets mixed reviews but I'm looking forward to brewing at standing level. The turkey fryer burner was not friendly to my back. $172 at Amazon Shipped free two day with my Prime.

Last week I spent $80 on a stir plate that lasted 45 min. That POS got returned to Amazon. All laying around the garage: recipe card box, some scrap wood, screws, stain, pvc clamps, dimmer switch etc I purchased a replacement exhaust fan from Amazon for $13 and two 2 lbs pen magnets for $5 at...
