    Campden Tablets and Fermentation Question

    Measured OG is 1.109. I will check Gravity tomorrow and see if it has actually changed any. I have a three-piece airlock on the fermenter and the cap inside hasn't even begun to move or act like its pressurized. I rehydrated the yeast in about half of a cup of boiled spring water after...

    Campden Tablets and Fermentation Question

    Too Much Go-Ferm?

    Hey guys started my first batch of mead today and my scale for measuring out my Go-Ferm and Fermaid K decided to not work correctly. It measured in ounces and I couldn’t get it to measure in grams. Because of this I was worried that such a small amount of product wouldn’t trip the scale to...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I just brewed an IPA using only Chinook hops. Doing the Palmer Method with extract and forgot to add the other half of the extract at the end of the boil! Oops! Reheated the wort a bit so it would pasteurize the second half of the extract and went on with the rest of the Brew day. I expect a...
