  I have used gelatin exclusively for beer. I only use it on beers that I really want to clear up
  or with yeast strains that don't flocculate well. As gelatin has worked so well and is cheap I
  haven't f...

  I'm brewing a 5.5gal batch which will use 11.5 lbs of grain, if I go 1.5qt per pound I'll have
  4.3gal of strike water. Add that to the .5gal of sparge water per pound and I come up with
  10.05 gallons ...

  I used 1.25 - 1.5 for several years when I had my three tier system. I finely decided I
  couldn't taste the difference and the 1.5 was easier to work with. I have since made a
  recirculating "brew in a ...

• Posted in thread: recirculating BIAB where to put my probe on 03-27-2013 at 08:39 PM
  Placed mine in a tee on the pump output because mine is a gas controlled system and I wanted

  Mine came out on the numbers but way too dark for an Irish Red. However, it is an outstanding
  beer.

  I was curious if the lactose is factored in to the OG at 1.062. When one is working up the ppg
  on a grain bill I assume you do not include non-fermentables but don't they add to the OG?Does
  anyone kno...

  Popped the cap on my first bottle. Very good indeed. Modest head, good lace and a malty finish.
  What more could a man want....Is a tad dark for a red but thats a minor tweak for the next

  Looking for feedback on those of you that bottle condition......Original post here recommends
  to add 1/2 packet S-04 into bottling bucket to help clear beer....is this really necessary or
  beneficial? ...

• Posted in thread: when is yeast shocked? on 12-12-2012 at 02:32 PM
  I think I understand the yeast being thrown into 35*F brew will stay dormant even though they
  become hydrated. I'm assuming once a cold crashed bottled brew warms to room temp these little
  critters wi...
