Hi all, I brewed a ~70 IBU Citra and Galaxy IPA at 1.066 OG and it finished out about 5 days ago at 1.014, so I'm ready to keg it. I typically cold crash my beers in the conical, but wondering if I need to for this NEIPA style that haze is normal with. I have a fitting for the conical such...

Hey NathPowe - I'm linking a screenshot of my Beersmith page for this recipe in case you have other questions but it calculates to 14.1 SRM. I actually usually don't go with the timer anymore. I built a second temp controller (first one is on ferm fridge) for my HLT. It gets me bang on the...

^That has a 100 watt light shining through it to show clarity and color. Grain bill: 71% Maris Otter 24% Vienna 3% Crystal 120 2% Crisp Roasted Barley (500 SRM)

To the OP's question, I have never had an issue with a deep red color (which I was always told comes from the roasted barley). I use roughly the same percentage as you, but mine is the Crisp roasted barley (500 SRM) versus the 300SRM variety you listed. I think this one tweak would make a big...

I ended up going with a Belgian Dubbel, and fermented with WY3787. I cheated by adding 8 oz cocoa nibs at flameout. It was very prominent in the flavor and aroma of the unfermented wort. There was a great, aggressive fermentation that scrubbed all the nibs character out, like they were...

Hi all, hoping I can get some guidance here on brewing with chocolate. Not chocolate malt, not nibs, actual chocolate. I have been recruited to brew for a competition based on using locally-sourced specialty ingredients and I have been assigned chocolate donated by a local cakes and candies...

Carefully verify your volume and gravity measurement first. Greater than 100% efficiency is not possible.

You either boiled off too much or changed something else that increased your extraction. Some top-up water is in order to achieve the right starting gravity. Is that as good as just hitting it right in the first place? Possibly not, but that's debatable. If this were my brew I'd add...

Agreed ^^

In it to win it!

In case anyone else is looking for this answer in the future, it's no washer required. http://www.williamsbrewing.com/OXYGEN-REGULATOR-FOR-WELDING-TANK-P3476.aspx Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks for the reply. I'm not home near mine. Here's a link to a regulator like it though: The threaded nut portion on the reg is loose until you have it threaded onto the cylinder valve. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002J7FLTW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 The valve looks like this...

Bueller? Bueller? Anyway, I thought I should clarify - the guy at the welding store when I picked up my tank was not the normal guy, and I thought I recalled the normal guy asking me if I needed washers when I dropped it off. Good excuse to bump the thread as any I guess right?
