I bought my Cascade rhizome at my LHBS it was a spur of the moment thing while I was buying supplies. I'm not a green thumb I planted them in early march and they are about six inches tall there is about 8-10 sprouts. I have read around and I know I will need to build a support system and...
I racked my beer to the secondary 2 days ago. I made sure my primary fermentation was complete. So, there should not be any activity in there but the the airlock looks like there is some type of activity I have not sat there long enough to see any bubbling but the middle piece is floating...
I'm not a pro or anything I've only have to batches under my belt but if I read correctly It sounds like a pretty simple problem. I'm I correct you racked only after a week? What was your target FG? It sounds like you did not give the yeast enough time to do their job. I thinked you racked to...
I did that too. But did not see any airlock activity until about 48 hours. I thought it was going t be vigrous. It's now bubbling but only about every 20 seconds. I'm not worried though. This was easy (only my seconed batch) and very easy on the wallet thanks ED.
I kinda thought they would work but to be on the safe side I ordered a couple fender washers from Fastenal.com. They sold them buy the piece SS are $1.40 and the zinc ones are $.20 pc. You can also buy all the parts for the MLT there too. My shipping cost was more than the washers but with...
I'm interested in building a MLT but I too can not find the 5/8" fender. However my lowes has SS 5/8" flat washers. Does anyone know if these will work because me building this thing hinges on whether I can find these babies.
I also have a 20qt pot and my next biggest one is an 8qt but my water filtration system also has a heater and I can get about a gallon out of that @ about 160F. I was going to mash at a ratio of 1.5 h20 for every Lbs of grain then sparge with about 8-10qt. Really I would just like to know what...
The one in Woodland Hills is called the The Home Wine, Beer, and Cheesemaking Shop. Thats my local place they are only a mile or two from my place and there very helpful and they have a great brew club.
Bit confused about Final Gravity. Should your final gravity reading be after it has fermented in your primary or after the secondary or before bottling. I have a bass clone that has been in the primary for a week with a starting gravity of 1.050 and the instructions from my LHBS states that I...
I'm new to home brewing and for my next batch would like to make a cali common. the question I have is it customary to add the bulk of your hops at the beginning of the boil. From what I noticed for cali commons most of the recipes use an 1oz. or more for bittering. I was thinking of adding...
