I oxygenated by shaking for about five minutes in the carboy. The temp reading came from the temp strip on the side of the carboy. It could be off I suppose. With both of them being bigger hoppier beers I wasn't able to get a full five gallons out of it so I couldn't put a thermometer in there...

After doing some searching on here regarding the bubblegum off flavor I found that it was usually due to high fermentation temperatures. I don't think that this is the case here. I closely watch my temps daily and they stay in the 67-68 range. I have had two beers give me this flavor and aroma...

I like to keep Amarillo, citra, falconer's flight, cascade and switch up on a bittering hop.

My wife will make fun of me when I talk about beer or brewing because I will get really into it. She'll walk up to the pot and make funny sarcastic remarks like "ohh so hoppy you're brewing" or look into the beer and talk kind of dirty to it by saying "I wanna dry hop the **** out of you". It...

Check out brewing tv episode 53. They talk about using either the Bavarian lager strain or a west coast lager strain at ale temps. They do a side by side taste test with an ale yeast with good results.

I appreciate the input guys. I think a pot of warm water with the tank sounds like a good idea. It didn't really start happening until the tank started frosting.

Deleted repost.

Sorry, after the strike and sparge water were fine it back fired shortly before reaching the boil.

So this past weekend my buddy and I were using our blichmann burner for the second time. After using it for the strike and sparge water fine, it back fired by the hose. I was wondering what may have caused this. It happened three times before we brought out the old turkey fryer burner. Some more...

I just checked and the ppg was set at 38 for the flaked corn. After the adjustment it only changed a little bit. It's a step in the right direction though.

My brew buddy and I are struggling with efficiency when using flaked corn. The first time we used it our volume was short, could possibly be from a longer mash that he decided to do. The second time using it I came up .010 off my OG. Has anyone else run into this issue or have any advise for me...

25 gallon SS kettle, blichmann floor burner and weldless kit with a 7/8 step bit. Can't wait to brew!

Just got my shipping info today. I had emailed them and they said their supplier shipped to them late.

Anyone else still waiting on these to ship that were on backorder?

Thanks guys I appreciate the quick replies.

Thanks for the info. Do you use one or two drops per gallon? And how many drops do you think the one ounce bottle has in it.

I purchased some 25 gallon SS kettles that are on their way. My question is could using fermcap allow me to do a 20 gallon batch that would need a 23 gallon boil? I've seen a video online with a 50 gallon boil in a 55 gallon pot, and I'm currently using an eight gallon pot to do six to seven...

I can't wait for this one to carb up. I'm excited for this one.

Thanks for the heads up. Just got two 6gal for less than $35. It did say it will take a couple weeks to ship as they ran out of the 6gal.

I just cracked my first one open and wow. This is delicious. Mine came out a bit hoppier as the citra I got had a pretty high AA. I used the extract recipe and the malt and color are spot on. I'm going to brew the all grain next time as I just finished my mash tun the other day. Thanks for the...
