brew magic system for sale

Looking to upgrade to a larger system so I need to get rid of my Brew Magic V350MS. This machine is a year old and due to a cross country move only has 15 batches on it. In mint condition. Connection for both natural gas and propane. Included with the system is a chill wizard chilling unit...

Took a taste sample of the decanted beer from my starter. It is incredibly tart. I messaged Al on facebook. Probably wont be pitching this into my dubbel this weekend.

I generally do not use any hopspider/bags/etc at all during my brewing process and after a cold crash and gelatin all my beers are brilliantly clear. Even after more than 5 ounces of dry hop. Although similar, the hopspider and dry hopper are meant for different things. The dry hopper is...

I'm rather disappointed with this product. Both the Stainless Brewing website as well as Bertusbrewery.com claim that this drop hopper will allow little if pellet hop material through. This dry hopper allows TONS of hop material though. I cold crashed and gelatin fined after removing the dry...

So far I've been disappointed with the dry hopper. Both bertus brewing and the stainless website said little if any dry hops will make it through the screen. I've poured 12 pints and all have loads of hop material in it

Update on the beers that I acidified. Sent them in for first round NHC in Seattle. My IPA was judged in two separate flights. Both Flights chose it to go to mini BoS, but they mistakenly used both bottles and had no bottle to judge in mini BoS. They gave me a administrative pass and the IPA is...

Hop oils will stick to yeast and flock out with the yeast. Over pitching will remove more hop oils than a correct sized pitch.

Speed, from what I have read that's acceptable ph for lagers. I'd suggest experimenting with a pint of beer first, see if it makes a difference.

Nice! Thanks for the link. I added lactic to my kegged beers yesterday. Took 4.5 ml and 5 ml to get the batches down into the area of 4.3. They do taste much better and I am not picking up any acid flavor. On to a few competitions where I can get some feedback

I used a 1 ml medicine syringe that is graduated in .02 increments. It's a freeby from cvs but it's all I had. I came up with 5.63 ml per 5G which I do agree seems like a lot. Maybe beer is a strong buffer. Comparitivley, I know that 1 ml lactic will take 6g of RO water from 6.8 to 3.9...

Transferred my beer into kegs today and decided to take some samples and play around with some lactic acid additions. First thing I noticed is that both beers have risen in ph after a 3 day dry hop. I calibrate my meter every time I use it so I'm sure the readings are accurate. My pale ale has...
