The subject pretty much sums it up. When and how should I transplant these? I do have a very nice harvest coming this year but they are taking over the garden!
Latest batch Had stuck fermentation which i did not discover until after 4 weeks. I am not sure how long it was stuck for. I added dry yeast and raised the temp to 65. Viola, bubbles started I thought everything was going to be ok. Another month has gone by, the beer is now at 1.011, but it...
I have my first stuck fermentation. I am pretty sure it's because I turned the heat down in the house when I went on vacation, the basement got down to around 40something degrees.
So I raised the temperature to 65 hoping that would do it, but nothing. I read some of the threats that deal with...
I have a beer in the secondary fermenter. Hydrometer reading show it to be ready. I am leaving town for 4 weeks.
So the question is should I keg it or should I leave it in the fermenter?
Thanks
I am doing my second batch in a 10 Gallon Conical. I dry hopped the first batch with the usual pellets. The problem ended up being murky beer with tons of particles.
What is the best way to avoid that, besides not dry hopping? Using leave hops?
Thanks for the input.
I am wondering if there is any benefit to adding an extra pouch of wyeast? Does it get the job done quicker? Does it make the beer stronger? Does it affect the taste?
Anyone have experience in this?
I decided to plant a couple of rizomes this year to grow my own hops. Both plants are doing well with lots of hops on them. Several are now almost the size of a golf ball. I harvested one and smelled it, nothing. Crushed it, rubbed it, smelled it again, nothing. Is that normal? Do they...
35 minutes to sanitize everything, siphon into the secondary, then clean up the primary and the siphoning tubes etc. Now I just open the valve on the bottom, dump the cake out the bottom into a bucket and DONE!
they actually sell sleeves/blankets you can wrap around them to regulate the temperature, not sure how well they work. I have mine in the basement where is stays cool even in the summer.
I finally broke down and bought a conical fermenter. I read the reviews send some e-mails and decided to spend the extra money and get a Blichmann in favor of a Brewhemoth. I just couldn't get to terms with just a 4 inch opening for cleaning.
I just "transferred" my first batch from the...
WOW, I had some of this stuff yesterday evening, the sour smell is gone and it tastes good. Amazing what 24 hours of conditioning in a refrigerated keg will do. Thanks for the input!
