Last saturday I brewed an IPA with O.G. of 1066 and pitched a wyeast 1056 1.5L starter at 70F. From saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon vigorous fermentation brought the temp up to ~73F according to my aquarium thermometer strip. At this point I had some concern about the rising temp...

I was just browsing around the internet for LP gas tankless water heaters, and I stumbled upon a fairly cheap model. Does anyone have experience with this kind of water heater? Could it be easily modified for lower flow-rate and higher temp? I would really like to have on-demand sparge water...

Hello everyone. I have decided to invest in a brewing stand to make my brew day easier and more efficient. This thread will hopefully allow others to help me to identify any weaknesses in my plan. Thank you in advance to those who take the time! First, I haven't yet found a method to scan...

The thread title says it all. Can I add coffee after carbonation? Here's the situation. I want to add a pint of cold press coffee to a porter I made recently. I have two cornie kegs full of the same porter recipe. One of them is already carbonated and has a FG of 1015. The other has...

Tonight my 5lb CO2 cylinder decided to tip straight over onto the tank pressure gauge when I took the last empty keg off. Needless to say, without a gauge protector, the tank pressure gauge is shot. Are there any vendors that sell gauge protectors that will protect all three gauges on...

I did a cold crash/gelatin fining experiment on my honey nut brown ale today. Everything went better than expected. The gelatin dropped the sediments out in 8 hours in my 40F garage. :ban: About 15 minutes ago I racked the clear beer into my 5 gallon corny keg and brought it into the 62F...

First: I recently brewed a honey nut brown ale. I pitched wyeast 1056 on the wort with an OG of 1040. I took a sample today and the gravity read 1008, however, there is still a good amount of yeast in the suspension. Will this affect my gravity reading with a hydrometer? Second: If this...

I've got a starter going with yeast that I recovered from a bottle of New Holland Black Tulip Tripple (which was excellent). I have never made a tripple as I am fairly new to the all-grain scene. Does anyone have a recipe recommendation? My MLT can handle a maximum of about 15lb of grain...

I have a 7 gallon stainless steel conical fermentor that I would like to keep at slightly warmer temperatures for fermentation. Currently the fermentor levels out at about 60 deg F. I have been looking at this type of drum heater, but I am unsure what kind of wattage will be sufficient to...
