    Tide Pods taste better.

    Clean my fermenter keg from stains/dirt?

    I use PBW and a carboy cleaner. Soaking may not be enough to get it all, so some kind of agitation is needed. The carboy cleaner works great since it fits through the keg opening easily, and can reach places that a brush can't.

    Some people can’t distinguish between etymology and entomology. They bug me in ways I can’t put into words

    poll - how do you transfer your beer?

    Same as @Bassman2003. I ferment in converted sanke kegs.

    They used to say you can look at the eclipse through a colander. I tried it, but all I did was strain my eyes.

    The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

    I doubt he typed that with his tongue, most likely used his fingers. But yeah, you're right about the twenty dollar whore.

    Hop growth

    I agree, they look healthy. You should probably move to bigger pots, if that's where you're gonna keep them. They'll need as big of a pot as you can get. An oak barrel cut in half would be perfect. I suggest leaving the bines grow as they will. Next year, start limiting the bines. I typically...

    No airlock bubbles

    First, it's only been three days since your first pitch, it's a good possibility that it started fermenting, but it hasn't started off gassing yet. Sometimes yeast does take a while to show signs of fermentation. Second, don't rely on the airlock to show signs of fermentation. Buckets don't...

    Old brew in keg, still safe/worth saving?

    I would probably taste a sample of it, but most likely dump the rest. You should probably replace the line it was hooked up to as well.

    FG lower 5 points than expected

    Interesting. I use Brewfather too. I’m gonna have to try that out, see if changing mash temps changes the FG estimate. As far as fermentation temp, sounds like that’s not the issue. You’d also have plenty of off flavors too. I’m guessing it’s the mash temp that got you where you are.

    FG lower 5 points than expected

    Mashing at lower temps will give you more fermentable sugars. I bet that's a big part of the cause, but something else may be playing part. I don't think that lower temps will cause that big of discrepancy. What temp did you ferment at?

    Stupid Joke Thread!

    A 10-year-old girl asked her Irish mother, "Mom, how was I born?" The mother smiled and replied, "Once upon a time, me and your father decided to plant a wonderful little seed. Dad put it in the earth and I took care of it every single day. After a while the seed started to grow more and more...
