    Brew sculpture plan feedback request

    In the next week or so I plan to pick up the steel to make my brew sculpture. I am planning a 3 tier gravity system off a center pole with an H base. A similar stand I have seen had 2" square tube for the whole stand and heard that it was probably overkill. So my thought is 2" square tube for...

    California Common Cloudy Secondary???

    Hop haze? (quick google...) Okay, that makes some sense. However, I drop hop my APA and IPA batch's with relatively little haze. Although I do filter through a mesh bag when kegging, but they don't look anywhere as hazy as this bad boy. I dropped in so gelatin last night to see if it will...

    California Common Cloudy Secondary???

    Talked with a few of the guys form my HBC tonight and they think I may have gotten some infection when I racked it. Another thought wast to add some gelatin to clear it up. I may give this a try since it can't hurt it.

    California Common Cloudy Secondary???

    I half way thought about trying to cold crash it before I keg it. (Normally I let it cold crash before I force carb it). Should I go ahead and crash it to 40 degrees?

    California Common Cloudy Secondary???

    First time brewing a California Common. Also first time using a lager yeast, much less using it at the higher temp range. When I was racking to the secondary, to dry hop, the beer looked nice and clear till I got to the bottom of the bucket and some yeast clouded the secondary. I figured no...

    Yeast: Should I be concerned by this?

    hercher - Thanks! I went ahead and pitched the yeast this morning before work. *fingers crossed* fbold1 - Took the FG when I racked it and it was about 1.006. Little lower then I wanted it, but I think that's because my efficiency was off. The SG was supposed to be 1.045 and it was only at 1.034.

    Yeast: Should I be concerned by this?

    Opened a primary today to rack to secondary, so I could pitch the slurry to the wort I brewed today. The picture is what I found floating on the top. This was my fourth all grain batch, about 14 extract and partials already under my belt (no pun intended). This was my first time using...
