No. I don't think a 6.5 will fit with the door shut. I had to cut the shelves out to get the bucket in. A five gallon carboy will fit. I don't know what size the fridge is but it is old, free and...

Calcium carbonate is more likely what you needed to add to the mash.

I've gotten good mouthfeel form the classic 10% roasted barley, 20 flaked barley and 70% base malt recipe.

Aeration is bad once fermentation stops (CO2 from fermentation will scrub it all out anyway.) And most of the O2 will still be there when you pitch the yeast. There is no real need to re-oxygenate...

Temps depend on yeast strain. I use cal ale and lager yeast mostly, pitch cold and let it warm up as activity drops off.

No vent is needed. In my little fridge the beer seldom gets more than five degrees hotter than the temp controller is set at. It depends on how active the yeast are at the time. I tend to set mine at...

More head space will make for less CO2 in the beer because more of it will go into the head space. 1 inch to 1/2 inch is not a huge difference but it is noticeable. I doubt it it the cause of your...

If I mashed 8 lbs of 38 ppg pilsner malt and runnoff 7 gallons 100% would be 38 ppg x 8 lbs / 7 gallons = 1.043. I'd get about 1.037 (85%) and boil down down to 5.25 gallons. It would be 37 points x...

A decoction can help release starches that a poor crush could keep hidden from the enzymes. I'm not sure what you mean by BIAB decoction. That can't work. You would kill the enzymes. You still need...

If your done with the yeast crash them out. I've not found any draw backs doing it. The slowly cooling it down method is the old way that it was done. The beer carbonated as it lagered so it had to...

It's good for what they say it's for. If you don't have another setup with a tank and regulator you will have a hard time carbonating kegs. The injector does not have a regulator it just spurts...

Some lager yeast are bad for sulfur. It should go away. A couple of months should have done it. Keg it and purge the keg a few times over the next few days. The CO2 will scrub the sulfur out to the...

Some might say that's too much crystal malts with the c-20 and carapills. I think it will work out. It will be kind of honey-like sweet but balanced like a blond ale should be. I'd use less crystal...

Boil off raises the gravity in proportion to the volume loss. It makes no difference in BHE.

The only real difference for pre boil to post boil is losses from hops, break and what might be left in the equipment. With only my first running gravity (I batch sparge) I can figure what my gravity...

Some of my favorite stouts have been just between American and Imperial with a good amount of Columbus, Cascade, Willamette or Warrior. Guideline wise they'd fit into both categories.

I like both of those strains. Most of my lagers are at FG in a week but I still tend to leave them at room temp for a few days then crash them to 30F or so for lagering.
