Sat for a month after fermentation in basement aftwr a coldcrash. Was a lager. Dont have the recipe handy. I think i pitched a dry pack of lager yeast.german strain. Ok finished about 1.007. Didnt check it before i kegged it. Smelled fine.

Will try it next time. Never heard of that before.

It says just pineapple and juice in ingredients no preservatives or anything else. I just need some dang flavor in there, i can barely taste the pepper and cant taste any pineapple atm i hope it helps. I may even add some extract flavoring idk yet. Beer is done fermenting and at 1010 so ill cold...

Yea i think that does help. The juice is frim canned pineapple ill just decant and take reading. I forgot some people use wort to prime and the calculator. Thx!

In 8 days or so primary atm. Gonna keg 5 then bottle the rest. Hope its good enough to share. Taste at pitch was kinda bland so im gonna add more jalapeño tincture and pineapple juice at bottling. At least thats what im thinking. Any ideas? Have about 2 gallons to bottle . 5 to keg

Idk it seems im still getting bull shoots from mine and im getting nervous about continuing to remove them. Def bull shoots though, vigorous hollow and long spacing, some cultivars the bull shoots seem to have some longitudinal lines. Hope its still ok to cull them. I have 10 dif. Varieties...

I have about 12 hops growing on a slope, strung up no problems. I think its the third year. They are doing good without a watering system however i hope to hook up some drip hoses this year .

Great idea im gonna do just that. Flip tops with a few crown caps to sample. This is my first batch of mead and im pretty stoked to see how it develops over time.

So my cherry berry has been sitting for a year i think racked once still some debris floating. Not wortied about it but im wondering if i should bottle now or wait, cold crash it maybe? Taste pretty good btw and a little stronger than i expected.

I have flip tops and crown cap type bottles which would be better for bottling mead? I figure on a few years and i dont have cork type bottles atm?

I will check them again just to make sure

Yes i have

Wonder if i pitch a lager yeast and throw into ferm chamber at 50 or whatever will it take my gravity down even with the burnt fermentables?

Actually now that i think about it - i missed my mash temp by 7 or 8 degrees and had to add some boiling water- i think two or three kettles full ran out of room decided to sparge acouple gallons throw in kettle heat it up add to tun and repeated. Hmm maybe i went too high temp in kettle and it...

After 3 or so yrs using same mash tun only ever changing the braid im missing temps by like 8 or so degrees. Using same software many different recipes but sometimes same recipe. I notice no cracks inside and no water getting inside the middle either that i can tell. I preheat the tun with the...

So i did 10g batch of my version blue moon pitched 1/2 pack dry us 05 (god why did i do that) threw in fermentation chamber 3 weeks activity was stopped so instead of taking a reading first, i filled my first keg, then remembered a hydro sample, sincecit was cold crashes i let sample sit while i...

Also my strawberries never dropped and i was under the impression that they would, i did however have it at about 60-65 for a while since it was in my cellar. The fermentation was lengthy i think due to the colder tben ideal temps. Could this be why?does the fruit normally drop?

So, after rereading thread and hearing about offflavors for leaving on fruit too long; i reracked and despite using wlp 720 my g is at 1.002. All my beers have been finishing really low also and it seems to happen in spring since i dealt with this same thing last year. Maybe my starsan is bad ...

I got them on mine here in nj also, bt does the job but i have to monitor and spray kinda often- like every 2 weeks or so
