• Posted in thread: Trubble. Please help. on 04-09-2013 at 03:55 AM
  I found a slightly soapy flavor in beers that weren't really ready to drink. Still quite hazy
  and under carbonated. Since I don't get much trub in the fermenter I couldn't say if that is
  the cause for...

• Posted in thread: Long water storage whith starsan on 03-13-2013 at 10:17 AM
  If the water was boiled, or otherwise purified, it would be fine for a period of time. The
  Starsan would sanitize the container, but not the water. The container would be sanitary, but
  once filled wit...

• Posted in thread: What do you rock while you brew? on 03-05-2013 at 10:50 AM
  Ah, youth. A shame it's squandered on the young ! I remember being able to multi-task, or I
  think I can remember remembering. If I listened to music while brewing, I'm afraid I'd either
  fall asleep or...

  Oxyclean works well too. I rinse out first then use a scoop of oxyclean with a quart or so of
  hot tap water. Put hand over opening and shake a few times to dissolve the oxyclean and help
  break loose s...

  Once you solve the temperature control problem, I'd thaw it out and repitch an active starter.
  Should be just fine.Bob

  I might add a couple of reasons for secondary (bright tank). 1. If you use a less flocculant
  yeast, racking to secondary will really help your beer drop clear. I use US-05 a lot and beer
  will still be...

• Posted in thread: When to Use Blow Off Tube? on 01-09-2013 at 12:05 PM
  Yeah, this is what I really can't figure out? And if you attach a tub to the airlock, won't the
  whole apparatus still be limited by the smallest diameter? If it clogs at the connection
  between airlock...

• Posted in thread: New years day brewing. on 01-02-2013 at 05:48 AM
  Brewed a full bodied West Coast IPA today. I like IPAs and when it gets cold, a full bodied
  brew has more of a warming effect. Also, after the busy holidays, my supply line was lagging.
  Have a Happy a...

  First, you must be sure that fermentation is complete. After that, another week or two for the
  yeasts to absorb their by-prodcts never hurts. Next, you need to be sure of the volume and
  temperature of...

• Posted in thread: Safale S-05 high attenuation on 12-23-2012 at 08:53 AM
  I have used US-05 in beers with OG of 1.07+ without a problem. Also, Yeast would be the last
  player I would blame for issues concerning head. As I stated before, yeast is only part of the
  equation. I'...
