https://eviltwin.nyc/beer/greenhouse-oat-lager-conditioned-on-american-oak-foudre/ Evil Twin made a 100% oat lager that I tried recently. It’s surprisingly light and easy drinking. You might want to try sending them an email for more details on their process.

I make a Thai wit beer every year that uses lemongrass, lime leaf, lime zest, ginger and coriander. The lemongrass is definitely pretty subtle, but adds some depth with the other citrus. I would suggest adding some lemon/lime zest or if you can find lime leaves that would be ideal. They add a...

I’ve been having issues with my grain mill recently. I think it’s a cereal killer or one very similar to that. The main issue I was having is the grain will randomly stop feeding through and I have to dump it out adjust the rollers and try again. After this happened so many times I decided to...

Forgive me if this has been asked/answered already. I’m looking to upgrade the chiller that came with the unit. I’m looking at the CuSs brewing all in one chiller or possibly a CFC. I’m sick of running water for 20-30 minutes to cool to pitching temps. I’ve never used a CFC, but they sound...

I’d love to test one of these out!

I have the Fermzilla All Rounder so I don’t have the option of using the collection vessel. But I’ve had very good results with slowly releasing pressure via a spunding valve, removing the lid on top while slowly adding 1-2 psi of co2, then I drop the hood in and reseal the lid. I’ve started...

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll try thinning out my mashes and possibly going a little coarser on my grind and see if that helps. I haven’t been able to recirculate more than a slow trickle even with rice hulls added.

I apologize in advance if these questions have already been addressed somewhere in this thread. I’ve read through it, but it was a while ago. I’ve completed 4 brews with my 35L and have run into a few issues. First brew I had a terrible stuck mash, but have since gotten rice hulls and it’s been...

So whoever wired the service initially installed a 50 amp plug on the 30 amp breaker. I need to double check, but I believe they used a smaller gauged wire as well. Worst case I’ll have to run a new line as well. Are you sure that breaker you linked is GFCI? I didn’t see that in the description...

I have been looking into immersion heat sticks. I’m almost definitely going with the Brewzilla and I was looking at ways to heat up sparge water. Do you think the HotRod is worth the added expense over cheaper heat sticks?

I am trying to decide what my next upgrade for my hot side should be. I currently have a 5 gallon BIAB set up with an 11 gallon bayou classic kettles and a bayou burner. I store my gear in my barn, but brew on my front porch so I have to lug everything out and set it up the night before so I can...

I did read through that thread, but my issue has only been with this one specific grain. It hasn’t been an issue with the same mill gap for other grain bills. I was just curious if anyone has experienced the same thing with that malt.

That’s what’s so weird, the rollers were spinning and some grain was coming through and getting crushed. I’ve had the mill not catch before, but nothing would come through at all.

So I’ve had a Barley Crusher for about two years now. I’ve had a couple minor issues with it, but nothing that wasn’t easily fixable by readjusting the gap or cleaning the rollers. I recently purchased a sack of Weyermann Barke Pilsner and I’ve made 2 batches with it. Both times I tried to mill...

I’ll take a code, thanks!
