I agree with @Bilsch on Technology Brewing and Malting by Kunze being THE book or even the newer Weihenstephan compendium by Narziss. However for an entry level brewing I think there are several books that would suffice as you understand your process and gain experience. A good...

Most recent brew was a West Coast IPA with Mosaic, Palisade and Centennial incognito. Thanks for hosting the giveaway! Fingers crossed, I could use a new corny keg.

Definitely not cheating in my op. Just using the tools available to improve your product. It's up to the brewer to decide the level of involvement in their process. Even Weihenstephan university uses a fully automated lab with all the latest equipment in their end to end brewing process for...

I’m going with 9

I have used fermonsters in the past. They are a great inexpensive solution, but if you're looking at conicals and limiting oxygen, they might not be the best option. A lot of the conical options out there achieve the same results and come down to personal preference. For me, that's the Spike...

Yes it leaks all the way down to 0. When I set it for spunding I typically aim for 12psi so I haven't noticed how close it'll get to 1 bar for comparison.

Has anyone else had this issue with the AIO PRV? I have/had the same problem with my first PRV from Spike, I could have the dial all the way closed for max pressure and would still see CO2 escaping through the spring/plunger and bubbling out the back of the cup of starsan. I emailed Spike and...

Usually between 5 to 10 psi from spunding and 1/2” ID TC

What I have found, that works well for me at least, has been to remove the elbow completely and similar to a few others go fermenter>valve>SG>valve>QD. This allows me to account for most situations. If I dry hop, I’ll close the first valve (SG still filled) to allow better contact with beer...

Morning Coffee

Hah! Got a good chuckle from this thread. I use BS cleaner for everything from keg lines to coffee pot/thermos. I don’t use it very often, but it’s nice to have on hand for those tougher stains.

I make starters for most of my brews and have tried adding DME every which way to avoid clumping. I opt to add the DME to the Erlenmeyer flask then room temp water and swirl to dissolve it before putting it on the stovetop. I sometimes will give it another swirl around 100-120F but never after...

HB LemonDrop NEDIPA

I have used the pen-style bevdoctor pH meter for a few years now with no issue, however it just started giving questionable readings my last brew day. It is definitely past due for a probe replacement. I ended up deciding to go with a nicer Apera meter and will report with back my first...

Count me in! It would be perfect timing, I’m looking at getting a new smoker in the next few weeks.

I'm in, thank you!

Great video @Bassman2003 Thank you for sharing! Great conversation/comments! I would just caution with using absolutes like 'only'. While I agree that post fermentation oxidation has the highest impact on staling, I would posit that pre-oxidized malt flavour does contribute to the overall...

Count me in! Thanks inkbird.

Yes, I had a similar battle after a new keezer build a few years back and have adopted a few quick ways to narrow down the leak that seem to work for me. 1. Check all hose clamps and make sure they're tight. 2. Check your tank regulator. Is it on tight enough? Washer still good? Spray it down...

Awesome giveaway! I'm in.
