Can any one here offer me an advice or help in this subject? I have a porter batch that got some contamination, and started molding. At first I thought it was Brit-infected, but in a month time I realized it was not Brit. However, the mold off-flavor is very subtle. I'm planning to flash...

Hi all, Five gallons of porter caught some funk. While this is exciting, we are asking for some advice. This beer was a Parti-gyle, with main beer being Russian Imperial Stout. The grain bill was, for both the RIS and the gyle as follows: 80% base MarisOtter 5% crystal (20 L) 5% chocolate 5%...

Mabrungard; What meter did you refer to when you said it is a good one? The Extech100, or MW 102?

I did open it and take a reading for few reasons; 1- fermentation slowed down very much. 2-I needed to switch to an air lock rather than blow out since fermentation is very slow

It has been going since Sunday early morning, I pitched the yeast Saturday evening. as of now it is setting at 67 F.

At this point I'm using a Hydrometer.

Hello, I bought this low pressure (liquid gas or liquid propane) convertible valve. Installed it wired it to the servo bought the pilot and put it all together on my brew rig. Although it was not easy, but I did all the wiring and connections, and I used an adjustable regulator on my propane...
