Do you have a mash tun? In addition to a 10 gallon brew pot, I use a 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler with SS braid as a filter. I'm not sure the 5 gallon pot would be much use as you would need 10...

I thought it could be the tubing so I have had a hose clamp on it although I'm using 3/8" tubing. I am noticing the bubbles are coming up from the bottom of the auto-siphon as opposed to starting...

Major siphon issues....

So I've been brewing AG for several years and have never had an issue with basic siphoning from the fermenter to the bottling bucket (I use an auto-siphon). A couple brewings ago, I was having...

+1 on Drbobcats recommendation to tape the probe to the side of your fermenter. I have the same controller and tape it to my bucket and then tape some bubble wrap over top of it. I also set my temp...

Pump for immersion chiller

I have to improve my AG cooling methods due to the fact our tap water is over 80. I have been running tap water through a pre-chiller placed in a cooler of ice water then over to the immersion...

I always went to a secondary for dry-hopping but on my last IPA, I just dry-hopped right in my primary bucket near the very end of fermentation with leaf hops. Much easier since whole leaf hops just...

I've never had this issue on my 10 gallon Rubbermaid with a braid. Did you secure a brass head plug to the end? That helps to weigh it down. Otherwise, I try to be careful when stirring and not be...

Use your fermentation temp when calculating the amount of corn sugar to use. I believe there is plenty of debate on this but that is what I always use and it always seems to be about right. I...

I brewed EdWorts Kolsch in mid-March and half of it is gone already. I actually screwed up and added 30% too much priming sugar so after 1 week in the bottles I stuck them all in my fridge to knock...

I would read up on the entire process before attempting again. I'll plug Bobby_M here on his All-grain primer. I printed that out and had it by my side on my 1st one and it was a big help. Also, I'd...

Based on my fermentation temp of 63, I calculated it will be around 3.3 vols instead of the 2.6 I was shooting for. I'm mainly worried about exploding bottles. Maybe I'll try to recap some in a few...

I was debating whether to uncap after a few days to let off some CO2 and then recap but that could result in having them undercarbed....or still overcarbed. Probably not worth it...

Dumb mistake...too much corn sugar....

So as I was calculating the weight of corn sugar to use for bottling my Kolsch, I took the number calculated for DME off Beersmith instead of corn sugar which was about 30% more. Didn't realize...

Temp to use when calculating amount of priming sugar?

I've always used the fermentation temp to calcualte as my fermenting beers have all been at constant temps. I just did a Kolsch and I have cold crashed it at 40 degrees. When I calculate the...

Did you cold crash? If so, for how long? I just finished racking to secondary and set my freezer to 40 degrees. I also bottle so I don't want to keep it cold too long. This tasted fantastic out...

That's an idea. I do have a chest freezer with temp controller so I would have the room. Would it even be necessary to do a secondary in that case? I'm at about 9 days primary now and planned to...

Bottling a Kolsch

I have a Kolsch that is in the primary right now and I know it is common to cold crash/secondary at a much colder temp. Since I'm a bottler, I'm concerned that if I store it at a cold temp for too...

I did the BYO Torpedo clone a couple months ago. While not quite a SN Torpedo, it is tasty. I just had a bottle of their Harvest Ale for the first time over the weekend. Good stuff!!

If it's the same burp I get, it happens frequently for me. Usually my Pale Ale will do it but I had it recently on my Indian Brown Ale. I'm pretty sure it isn't fermentation temps in my case as...
