thanks for the reply yoop. this first lager is quite exciting! im gonna wait for airlock activity to slow to about 2-3 bubbles a min. i personally only check the gravity before it goes in the fermenter and before i rack to bottle. its still bubbling away krusen has been there for 3 weeks

im fermenting Jamils pilsner and its coming up on 3 weeks of consistent fermentation. i plan to do a diacetyl rest but do not know when to do it. any suggestions?

for sure i will im also making a standard curve of known glucose concentration to figure out the concentration of my samples.

thanks guy i think i will over pitching because im going to up for 24 hours! so as long as i get atleast 5 data points im good. i had some styrafroam floats that i will be boiling the 1 ml microcentrifuge tubes.

the rate and temp will be the same for both. im trying to mainly show that yeast reduce sugar concentration and br able to measure the decrease using spectrometry. if i make say 500 ml and pitch half a packet of notty into both will i get data points in the first 24?

hello everyone, i am conducting an experiement in my molecular biology lab where i will be measuring the rate at which yeast reduce the concentration of sugar in solution. the protocols call for a 24 period where i will be taking samples every 3 hours. so my question to everyone is should i...

i like to ferment 1056 at 62

ive got a batch of raspberry ale sitting now. i racked onto 4 pounds of frozen fruit. its been 2 weeks im bottling this week ill let you know how it turns out

thats exactly what i was looking for. there is a switch for the light on mine but im not sure about the fan. did you drill a hole for the controller prob or what? how do you have it oriented inside just as is?

couldnt find a manufacturer but the inside is metal and i dont want to mess with that so i think the best option is the external controller. do you have one of these, how is it set up?

yess glass front with the coke bottle on the door. not sure about the manufacturer but this thing is heavy duty

i just picked up a 3.5 foot coka cola fridge from a friend of mine who ones a gas station for $50. i need to do something to be able to adjust the temp and havent the slightest clue abot electrical anything. i ahve been reading on here about love controllers and what not and came across this...

thanks for your replies guys. i wouldnt imagine a sanitation issue if they were frozen right? also i was concidering a light dry hop with an ounce or so of cascades to give a fruity note

i brewed up a raspberry ale 3 weeks ago and i plan to rack onto some fruit this weekend and let it hang out for a week or so. how much fruit should i use? i want this thing to be explosive. thanks

i have recently got my AG system up and running smoothly. i thrw together a few receipes of my own but i looking for an endless book of delicous receipes. does anyone have any suggestions for reading material? i am looking for a book that will take me years to brew through. thanks!
