I'll do that, but in Europe (for some reason) everything is more expensive than in the USA when it comes to brewing. A simple 5 gallon plastic bucket with spigot and a lid costs 19 dollars.

I dont get it at all. Why would wort go through the spigot? Wort goes into the fermentor, it ferments, then it gets bottled (and at that stage as u were saying it is with alcohol,,,so through that spigot, it will be beer that flows through). I think people are worried about what starts...

I used to do that.....but when I got the fermentor out of waterbath it would be filled with water (no matter what :))

I am just wondering how many of you submerge a fermentor with a spigot on? I know that the fermentors on the market are of good quality, but how safe is it to submerge them with spigots on? After weeks in the waterbath, some water from the bath could leak into the batch, right? I guess it...

Ok...makes perfect sense. The actual weight is not important, but the AA % written on the packaging. This also means that T90 pellets are not as economic as T45, right? I was wondering....is this the same rule for aroma and flavour too? I mean surely I can get more out of T45 pellets than...

I have just found this info: "T-90 Pellets are milled into a powder and then squeezed through a die. They retain all of the vegetative matter that came in the hop cones and can be used as a full replacement for cone hops. T-45 pellets follow a similar process except that when they are milled it...

Oops......placed the comment on the wrong thread. Sorry.

Well, that was the idea behind my mixture, but at this stage I havent discovered where to get the same cheap chemicals I used to buy in Madrid. That's why I am looking at these detergent.

Thanks for the message. If I am not wrong, there should be some other chemicals apart from Sodium Carbonate and Hydrogen Peroxide to guarantee the necessary cleaning. My mix included: -sodium percarbonate -sodium carbonate -Trisodium phosphate (TSP) - I know it is toxic and not legal in the...

How fast is it when from start of fermentation till you can bottle it? 2 weeks? Or even less?

Well, I dont dig esthers in a light beer that I wanna label as pale ale. If I ferment it with a Saison strain and wanna drink a saison type of beer (once every now and then when in the mood), then it is a different story.

Hey guys, I am looking for some local Spanish active oxygen to buy in Barcelona (since I dont wanna pay too much for ChemiPro o PBW. I can get 2 pounds oxiclean for 3-4 euros while Chemi and PBW can be as expensive as 10-17 euros per 2 pounds). I was wondering if you could have a look at the...

Hey M00ps 3 weeks? 2 weeks in the fermentor and then forcecarbing it? I still bottlecarb. :(

I am wondering if there is a way to ferment wort to create hellas or dortmunder at high temps like 65F-70F? I guess it is all up to the yeast, but the lager yeasts need low temp. Any lager yeasts that can produce a clean dortmunder (or hellas) at higher temps?

What happens if I ferment this beer: https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/cc23-elysium-summer-ale with the fermentis lager yeast at 65F-70F? Will the lager yeast produce a lot of off flavours at high temp? I think steam beer by anchor is produced like this, right? Pale ale malt fermented...
