Hi all! Someone did a 100% WLP677 Lactobacillus Delbrueckii fermentation, or any other bacteria? Seems to be that I can’t consume yeast anymore (intolerance) and I’m trying to check my alternatives. I’ve tried Brett, but I guess it’s too similar to normal yeast, so my body reacted anyway...

Hi there! I used to bath sparge with a cooler and copper manifold with an efficiency around 75%. I moved over to a 10gal SS Brewtech mashtun and my efficacy moved up to 80%. Now I’m using the SS Brewtech tun within a 3 vessel HERMS system (HLT,MLT,Boil kettle) and I’m getting a brewhouse...

Hi, I have my ITC-106 wired in but it seems that I don’t get the alarm part to work. I’ve wired the buzzer to #11 and 12# but there is no output when the relay is triggered. Do I have to place a jumper between #12 and #10 or should current be provided on #12 without the need of a jumper...

Hi all, I’m in the process of building my electric HERMS system (5-10gal, 30 amp). I’m unsure which way to go when it comes to wort / hop and trub filtering. I either buy a Hopstopper , or I’ll go the whirlpool way. Who has experience with whirlpooling on an E-HERMS system? Does that...

Hi all! My belly is some kind of sensible to yeast (seems to be not all strains). I’m sure that yeast is the cause. I just need to drink the first pint of a new keg or take a shot of a starter and I’ll have it confirmed a few hours later (I don’t do these things normally!). :)  The...

Hi, Oh, I'm so angry! I just came back from a brew shop about 5 hours from here. I ordered 4x 55lb bags to cover this year of brewing. I get home, check the bags and find out that they milled all 4 bags! Oh, hell, I've ordered un-milled and thats also on the order confirmation! I could...

I’ve used a 15’’x 18’’ nylon bag hop spider till now. I was looking around on how to improve the contact area without dropping hops directly into the wort. There is a lot of fanzy and expensive stuff out there, but what’s about a big bag? I can get a very large bag for a few $$ which is as...
