Thanks for the thoughts guys. I still think about her multiple times a day. We’re in our new house now and starting to get life back together. I have some material now for a stand so I’m just going to be making a single tier stand now. What a difference having a three car garage...

Thanks for the thoughts... this has been a tough and. Trying time

Thanks for the response guys... Once again, life has gotten in the way. I was originally planning this stand before my daugher was born. She passed at three days old. Now were going to be purchasing a new home within the next couple months so my brew equipment is now in a storage unit. I will...

Sorry to bump this thread but I was looking at my older subscribed threads and thought Id add to it once again. I almost feel with the Huge craft beer movement though-out the country, the "stigma" of being a homebrewer has changed a bit. Ive noticed people done give you a weird look or have...

I havnt brewed in over two years and really want to get back into the hobby. I currently have a single tierish brew stand that holds my Boil pot and Mash tun. My RIMS tube is mounted to the stand as well. I have a secondary stand that I had made to fit over my turkey fryer burner. so I can...

I wonder if it has a hefe strain of sacc in it

I ended up hitting 1086 before boil. I'm happy.

So quick update. I made a Nelson Sauvin Pale ale 3 weeks ago. All went well. Today, I making a Imperial stout with 28 lbs of grain and the ****er stuck again. This time I put some stainless screws on in my false bottom to prevent it to completely collapsing. I put in a lb of rice hulls. I...

Na I prefer the toilet

The only Belgium strains I have sitting around are saison strains. Hate to waste one in a sour that will end up more complex then a saison. Maybe I'll buy a smack pack and toss half in and grow the other half into something else. I used ardens in primary for my flanders red. I guess I could...

I'm just slightly concerned about the viability of the sacch since this vial is fairly old. I guess I can get some clean ale yeast that doesn't have high attenuation or I could just mash hotter.

I plan on a starting a 15 gallon solera project in a few weeks. The plan is to make a decent base beer transfer it after primary for souring. I made a really decent flanders red a year and a half ago and I'm thinking about using that recipe again since I know it's good. Or I could find a lambic...

I'll pm you so the thread stays on subject.

I had a batch of roselare that didn't develop a Pellicle after months. There was no sign of active fermentation after a week or so. I'm not convinced that's the best blend in any way shape or form. Maybe I had a bad batch but I won't be buying another pack.

It is now. I just made it. Actually I Google it and there wasn't any actual proof that the word exists.

I belive it's called ageification

This batch has been dumped a few weeks ago. I think I messed up else where too. I didn't drop the temps right away from 150 I just wrapped it and let it fall on its own. That might had something to do with off flavors too. It's a bit to cold to try this experiment again now.

It is stainless. I'm guessing it's tired. I'm guessing what's happening is its sticking and just collapsing it.

I have been making all Grain batches for over two years now. I use a 15 gallon keggle with a 12" domed false bottom. I usually crush my Grain at the brew store but if I'm rushed I'll grind it in my Corona mill. I usually get between 85 and 90 percent efficiency with my grind and the brew...

So I kegged this beer last night. Still at 1020. It's has a hot alcohol taste but as the glass warmed up it faded. It's good though. This thing hit about 85 degrees during ferment so I'm sure that's where the fussel alcohol came from. The second runnings I ended up adding a lb of DME in. 75...
