    Lalbrew East Coast + High Attenuation + Hop Creep?

    Still trying to figure out if this was hop creep or not, as i've always been under the assumption that hop creep is more of an issue towards the end of fermentation. Background - First time brewing with Lallemand East Coast ale IPA Yeast. My brew day went normally, all temps hit, gravity...

    Long run of Glycol Lines?

    As part of my brewery renovation, I want to tuck my glycol chiller out of sight behind a wall in a utility room, which means running four 3/8" glycol lines through the wall along the floor, under my brew table, and over to my table with my fermenters. Total line run for each line will be...

    S04 over attenuation

    has anyone recently experienced S04 over attenuating consistently? I used to be able to count on around 75% attenuation with S04, but in the last year any time I use a pack, especially in NEIPAs, im getting well over 80% This last beer, I mashed at 154-155 (Herms electric PId controlled and...

    Those of you with Stainless Steel counterflow chillers........ Whats your cleaning regimen? How often, what do you do to clean them, do you even clean them? I deep clean my boil kettle with PBW/Oxiclean every 2 or 3 brews with a full hot circulation soak, then clean water soak, then rinse. In...

    Low efficiency out of nowhere

    I've been using my 3v herms system for 3 years now. It was always extremely reliable and i could always build recipes on Brewers Friend with a 70% brewhouse efficiency in mind and i would usually come pretty close plus or minus depending on what grains i'm using. The last 6 brews i've done...

    Oxidation - Where am i going wrong

    I've got my NEIPA recipes down perfected (in my eyes and taste) as they taste incredible and spot on after kegged and carbonated. But i'm battling (what i perceive) as an oxidation problem that I cannot chase down for the life of me. I'm pretty much ready to give up on Flaked Oats, and move...

    Stuck Fermentation US-05

    Never had this happen before in the barrels and barrels of beer i've brewed over the past 5 years, but my cream ale fermentation seems to have stuck. Its a base recipe i've brewed many times before and never had a problem reaching my final 1.008-1.010 final gravity. I'm currently around 60%...

    Load safety on circuit

    For you electric brewers out there with home electrical knowledge......... Most electrical brew systems running on 120v utilize 1650watt elements, such as the Clawhammer system, advertising them as being able to run on a single 15amp household circuit. Which on paper, works......1650watts =...

    Cherry Flavoring?

    Anyone have a go to extract or flavoring for adding cherry flavor? I've had excellent success with Brewers Best flavors in the past with the exception of Pineapple, but apparently the reviews of the cherry are awful and its very astringent. Looking for mild cherry flavor.

    Chocolate Powder Coloring SRM?

    I've brewed plenty of stouts porters and brown ales with cocoa powder with great results, but my wife has tasked me with making something light ale/lager'ish with chocolate flavor to it. Obviously the easy answer is add cocoa powder, but i'm wondering what kind of effect it will have on the...

    Bottom Draining Kettle Options

    Anyone have any insight into anything in the 10-15 gallon Electric kettle size range with a bottom drain? I'm getting sick of having to shop vac out my leftover crap in my kettle after brew day, and the mess that cleaning the shop vac then makes. Would love a bottom drain kettle to not only...

    Anyone use a hop spider with a whirlpool?

    Trying to decide if a hop spider makes sense for me or not. After a couple brews lately where i clogged my CFC with hops, i wondered if adding a hop spider to my boil kettle would be a good idea. My thinking is it will keep most of the hop matter out of the boil kettle itself, which means no...

I also did the same with Imperial Barbarian as i was going to brew a Heady Topper clone, but never got to...

    Efficiency - PreCrushed Grains/Flaked Oats

    So two parts to this 1) Does anyone else always find their efficiency of a recipe that uses flaked oats, ends up lower than expected by a few gravity points (3-5 on average)? Assuming a recipe is fairly straight forward with 12lbs base grain, 3lbs flaked oats, i find i'm always off compared to...

    Cleaning dirty cans

    How would YOU go about cleaning a box of cans that’s been sitting in a garage for 6 months. Just realized a pack of cans has been getting covered in garage dust and junk and whatnot and not quite sure if I should attempt to clean them by putting them in a dishwasher with no cleaner, some other...
