    Flanders Red Primary Lag

    BT Homies!! I brewed my first Flanders red last weekend- was planning on fermenting it with 100% RRBC "Supplication" Dregs. I propagated the dregs (3 bottles) with 750 ml 1.040 amber DME. my first mistake: I put the propagation on my stir plate. I let the propagation ferment for a month and...

    Such thing as too high brewhouse/mash efficiency?

    HBT- I have had a recurring problem with all my beers having a "mash tun" or "wort" odor, and I can't for the life of me get a crisp/clean finish. I went to the LHBS and asked an employee. He asked what my efficiency was (80-88% in my RIMS). He said that was my problem. Too high efficiency...

    Chill-Wizard Aeration stone

    Fellas- I have to say I am pretty proud of my chill wizard i built- a.k.a. the "Red Dragon"- took the restrictor plate off her so she's not exactly "street legal"... What i need to find now is a good threaded aeration stone with a ball check built in... i have heard they exist but i...

    Conical Timetable/Temp Good? Bad?

    HBT- I have a 27 Gallon conical that I am using for the 2nd time- the O&M that I got from Blichmann is very helpful, but leaves out a few things I was wondering about. I brewed a 22 gallon batch of APA and it took 7-8 days to completely ferment out @ 65 degF. after that I took it up...

    Antifoam carry-over

    Fellas- Thoughts- if I put a drop of Antifoam in a 2L starter in an erlenmeyer pre boil to stop it from foaming over during the boil- will that Antifoam carry over to prevent foam over at high krausen?

    EVOO in a yeast starter?

    I have read in several locations and podcasts that the folic acid in olive oil can be used to reduce lag times in fermentation and actually replace the need to oxygenate wort- but a study at New Belgium Brewery showed the the shelf life of finished beer is reduced signifigantly from this...

    RIMS Step mashing- no direct fire

    I have a newly built sabco clone and I opted to not install a direct fire burner. Here is the riddle: I want to make a DFH 90min clone using greater than 90% pilsner malt, with a 122/149 step mash. With my current system (1500 watt element/1330 watts actual) the temp rise through the...

    Brew Kettle Fasle Bottom... Yet Again

    I am currently building a sabco clone- I purchased the Sabco FB for the MLT but I have yet to find ANYTHING that is the perfect fit for brewing with 100% pellet hops. I figured if I was going to build a "test brewery" that would be repeatable I might as well use the most reapeatable...

    Fermentation Fridge!

    Gents- With summer approaching here in WA state, I was thinking about putting together a fridge that I could not only use for lagering, but also a temp controlled space where I could ferment 10 gallons at a time and hold a good temp. I have been having low attenuation numbers with wyeast...
