When I first started brewing I learned majority of what I did off of videos. I remember having questions about processes that there were no videos for so I decided to start doing my own videos. On my channel I record unique brew days and some different processes I do like frozen yeast banking...

Update on the club. We are now at 31 members and are now meeting at 2SP in Aston if anyone is interested please contact me via message or email at [email protected]

Looks like frost damage if it gets worse I'd cut them so they grow back healthy. Still plenty of time to have them come back up.

Scullys in folcroft. Cheap and they refill right there for you.

I have the lid pictured in the first page and it is awesome. I can fully carb a beer in less than 3 days. Usually I transfer at night and set it to the wetting pressure at 4psi for an hour or 2. Then if I dont fall asleep I will increase it 1-2psi every 30minutes. If I fall asleep I usually...

First year you will be lucky to get 4 bines. Let them all grow. You want as much green growth this year to allow the roots to grow and sustain a strong foundation for future years. I would focus more on proper soil care, watering and fertilization the first year and you may get lucky like I did...

Usually you can cut the rhizome in the fall and burry it over the winter and dig it up in February or March. You could probably get away with cutting now though.

Pilsner malt does have more dms than 2 row. You might be able to get away with 60 minutes but it is not advisable. You also have to remember those who think it doesn't effect their beer may have a less sensitive palate or just don't know what dms tastes like. I'm a bjcp judge and noticed I have...

In please!

Just be careful with tarps. If you use non breathable material such as plastic it can trap moisture and actually cause easier freezing with cold temperatures. Burlap is what I use and its great. Breathable and keeps everything warm. Usually from April 1 until frost threat is gone I will blanket...

That is some soft water right there. I would imagine you would have a ton of pH issues with that and your flavors will be bland. You will surely need to add salts depending upon the beer you brew. For an APA you will need lots of sulfates for the hops bitterness. I suggest getting a copy of...

Make sure your refractometer is calibrated. If you use programs like Beersmith they have a calibration tool you can use. You want to make sure it is calibrated to 0 with distilled water and calibrated to a hydrometer reading before and after alcohol is in solution. This is what I do and my...

It is likely a pellicle which is a byproduct of the bacteria to protect itself from oxygen so do not disturb it, let it do its thing and just rack from under neath it when your ready. Picture would help so you know for sure what it is.

You should be ok if you just pitch a decent amount. You have to remember that is apparent attenuation so there is still sugar in solution. Alcohol is less dense than water so when it is in solution it causes a hydrometer to float higher or when you use a refractometer the alcohol bends light...

Thanks for the feedback appreciate it! I'm glad you liked the cereal choice

Here is my go at frozen yeast banking it seems to have been a success. Check it out if your interested in seeing how its done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDIwwnFFHLQ

That was what I was thinking of doing for my next one. So do you know what the pH level should be to not extract off flavors? Is this something I can treat like I would mash or sparge water? Also, for recipes like the breakfast stout that call for a boil addition and a secondary addition would...

I use one tank for 2 burners and it is fine

not sure if the type of worm matters but earth worms are great for nutrients and aeration of the soil.
