3 tier- 2 cooler 1 burner all grain setup with one pump to feed the Mash and HLT. I brewed a batch of Amber Ale and when I measure my water for my strike water I use the mash tun which is marked well for measurements and just let that drain into my kettle to heat the strike water. Well when I...

2- row here as well. I am in Jacksonville, FL.

Awesome post guys!!! :tank: It gave me a great idea to use my Keezer with a wood collar to house a 6 gallon bucket filled with water and do a modified version of your whole setup with the fermenter next to it by drilling ports through the wood collar. Then I could even rack straight to a...

Check out untappd.com or download some beer apps on your phone.

Any Idea what is up with my Cascade? All my other hops are doing just fine and i haven't done anything different to any of them. Used mostly good organic soil mixed with mushroom and bat compost.

Thx. I took a swig from the hydrometer bc it smelled so freakin good and it was amazing. Mine was crystal clear too. I can't wait for the barleywine to cold age for a while and taste again each month. :rockin:

So when I got home I brought the carboy to my kitchen to investigate. The movement cleared some condensation so I got this pic. What it seemed to be was the thinnest layer of film and CO2 coming out of the beer that then became trapped under the film. The whiff smelled amazing! It was so good...

Thanks guys. I'll take a whiff and let you know. When you put all that work into a beer and see something you are not used to it's straight to HBT for support or more like a restriction from doing something too hasty especially when you have already RDWA(HadWayTooManyHomeBrews). :mug:

Thanks! I'm on it. 21 day Free Trial as well to test it this weekend. I just want them to make an app for your phone so I can be mobile with it as well. At least an app that will accept your recipe and auto load a Brew Day Timer.

So I brewed a Barleywine on 3/5 and let it Primary for 1 month then I racked it to a carboy to allow it to bulk age for 6 months (was the plan). The barleywine has now been in the secondary since 4/5 and it is now 5/25. Last week I started to notice some bubbles gathering on the surface which...

I got this.

Found this on another sight....... Posted by Laura on Tue, Aug 2, 11 at 0:28 There's an awful lot of misinformation and conflicting info out there on DE, which I'd like to try and help clear up, because I hate to think of folk eating DE with pesticide (yes, some DE has a pesticide bait, such as...

I doubt it was broken off. I thought the same thing on some of mine but found that it was actually Cutworms and Slugs. Go get some Diatomaceous Earth NOT from a pool center, go to Home Depot and get a bag. Gets rid of snails, slugs , and cutworms. Go out at night with a flashlight at a...

If you close it then you would be creating a lot of pressure in it and I have a sight glass which would probably bust. Mine stays open. I allow the trub to collect till the next morning (I do night brews) then close the valve, dump the trub, Clean, sanitize, connect sight glass, open valve...
