Well, I bought some gelatin finings to try and clear up some mead and beer. I have never used this product. It sais to soak 1 tsp in cold water for an hour and then boil. I am assuming it is about 1 cup of water, let stand for an hour and then boil it for about 5 minutes. Is that the...

Awesome....Thank you for your help, I will give that a try.

Good afternoon all, I have a question that someone with kegging experience may be able to help. I have purchased my first keg, and it has a very strange smell inside. I am not sure what it is, but it is very sweet smelling. I cleaned and cleaned with PBW, Oxyclean, sanatized with starsans...

Hi all, I have been reading so much information on filtering, I am just curious if anyone filters there beer and what system they use...I have some ideas on a home made system, just not sure if I want to try or not...Can anyone let me know if they filter at all and how they do it? Thanks..:mug:

np. thanks.

I will be in Kalamazoo Thursday if its still for sale. I have been waiting for something like this to come along.

Thats kind of what I thought. Thanks for the input. I actually have to packets of yeast, but I was not sure if I should make a starter with it or just hydrate both packets. I'll just do that. Thanks again. Happy brewing.

Ok, I am brewing a big heavy IPA. I have always used a starter for my bigger beers. I have also only made starters with whitlabs or wyeast. I am going to use a dry yeast this time, and as I have never made a starter with dry yeast, is it the same process? Or even necessary for that matter...

Well, if you choose to get it and want to part with specific parts, let me know. I am interested in the enitre thing, but I will take what I can get. I might be intersted in the stand if you want to perhaps part with it.

You still have this system for sale?

Well, I boild the water along with the the dry extract. I used whitelabs american ale yeast. I dropped the temp down to 72, and pitched my yeast. I gave the flask several shakes and let it sit. I was told to give it a swirl every time I walk by it because I dont have a stir plate. I have been...

Ok,....So I did a yeast starter Sunday night with the anticipation of brewing Wednesday. My yeast starter did not start, and I am not sure why. Temprature is steady, I think it was mixed well, good ariation (I think) but I am not totally sure why it didnt start. I dont have a stir plate, so...

awesome...so I am not nuts...cool. Always a good thing. This is my first time using this yeast. This is going to turn out great I think. thanks for the advice....

I'm not too overly stressed about it. I said wyeast..I ment white Labs. It is Dry English Ale # WLPP007. It just seems clumpy...I'm going to pitch shortly we shall see what happens tomorrow. If you hear a big boom it blew up.........
