    Seems like many are returning to home brewing....

    I can comment to this. I was a new user around 2 or so years ago and fell out of brewing. A bad transfer when racking my beer fouled my whole batch (because I messed up, have since learned) which totally took all the wind outta my sails. Had my folks down for a couple weeks and just got it...

    Relax and have a home brew. It could have been worse. No sanitizer would be worse going into your fermenting beer, I would surmise.

    There goes my perfect record

    The previous two brews were the exact same all grain recipe. This is my third iteration of it. Those two were burst carbed down as they were cold crashed for clarification and fined with gelatin. Both recipes were perfectly fine after 36 hours at 30 psi. This is not a matter of CO2, but of...

    @jerbrew That is an AWESOME solution. I will def look into this. THANKS!

    Additionally, I do the same thing preparing my kegs for beer. I fill them half way with Star-san solution, shake it all about, then gas it with CO2 to move the solution out of the keg to ensure the out tubes are nice and sanitized.

    There goes my perfect record

    TBH, I think it's, most likely, sediment taste that I am getting, maybe? I was nearly certain it was oxygen until I read comments here. Now I'm unsure. To clarify, I racked it to keg and put CO2 at 30 psi on Saturday afternoon and tried it for the first time last night after about 7 pm...

    Hard to pin down, but my initial reaction is to say it tastes stale, somehow.

    There goes my perfect record

    So I started brewing maybe 3 months ago. I've done an extract brew, and about 3 all grain brews. All came out better than I had hoped. That is until my most recent, fourth brew. I was just coming off my best brew yet with my last 5 gallons of California common. Was the clearest, best...

    Cold crash with bottle conditioning?

    I believe, and those in the know can correct me here, that one only cold crashed after the yeast has entirely flocculated, or fallen out of the suspension after fermentation is complete. The cold crash essentially sinks everything else to the bottom. Yeast is still in the suspension, however...

    What Is Your Brewing Philosophy?

    My philosophy for brewing beer is EXACTLY the same as my philosophy for cooking food: I enjoy eating food. Therefore, I enjoy cooking. It's rather simple, but says a lot behind the words. I would wager that every person living enjoys food, to an extent. When you cook for yourself, you're...

    Finishing with less beer than expected - why?

    Just a suggestion as this was something that I found myself encountering as recently as a few months ago. I worked my way around it by getting a bigger kettle.
