Has anyone had issues with a plate chiller causing too much O2 ingress and funking up their sours? Im working on scaling my 5gal batches of quick sours up to a bigger system and will have to use a plate chiller instead of the IC I'd normally use. I know the process is very sensitive so I figured...

I tried culturing the dregs from a bottle of JWB Dragonfruit Passionfruit and I'm not sure if what I got was lacto. I have my 2L flask filled up ~1700ml and there's a good 300-400ml of bright white krausen on top. I know some types of lacto can produce co2 but is this much krausen normal? It's...

I recently whipped up a few batches of this and it was so ridiculously easy I had to post it up. If you've never messed with sours I think this is a good way to get your feet wet because the process is very simple. This won't make the most complex Berliner in the world but I've found its a great...

Its my first go at brewing a steam beer so I figured I'd check and see if anything looks out of place here. I know most recipes use only Northern Brewer hops but I wanted to do something a little different plus the name was too cool. I also tweaked the IBU/OG ratio to match the area code of San...

Mango season just passed so I got to make one of my favorite summer brews with some delicious home grown fruit. I recently won a local comp with this brew and everyone loved it so I figured I'd share the recipe. Give it a try your sure to enjoy it. Between the Maris Otter, late kettle additions...

Would using slurry from a phenolic batch make the next batch phenolic as well? Any thoughts on this?

Sorry if this has been posted on the board already but I didn't see anything about it yet. 4,754 beers from 1,403 breweries representing 58 different countries competed a couple days ago in the 2014 World Beer Cup. The link below will take you to the WBC site where they have a pdf of all the...

Title pretty much says it all. I kegged an IPA about 5 days ago and after letting the keg chill for a day @ 32f I used a packet of Knox gelatin as directed in the many threads around here. Two days after adding the gelatin I poured off a pint or so of sludge but the beer never ran clear. So I...

Over the summer I want to experiment with different oaking methods and such to see which specifically I like best. So it got me thinking what everyones preferences were. Not looking to have a debate about whats best or why I just want to know what your favorite has been and the details behind...

Two threads in this section in one day :D After looking I cant seem to find any mention of this stuff and Im wondering if anyone else had experience using it? The label says for sanitizing beer fermentation tanks and its much cheaper than star san. Label...

I recently was gifted a keggle and noticed it had some rust spots on the inside. I did some digging around and after reading dozens of threads the recommended method seems to be Bar Keepers Friend and a green scotch brite pad. So I applied a decent amount of the stuff to the wet pad and went to...

So I'm getting ready to bottle a stout next week and was thinking about adding some cinnamon oil to the last gallon or so. I've read tons of threads about people adding ground cinnamon or using sticks in the fermenter but can't find much of anything about people using cinnamon oil....At least...

If you brewed a beer following the parameters of an American Amber except you used an english yeast and a split of MO/Munich for the base malt what BJCP style would it be at that point?

Hello all I hope everyone is doing well. I tried getting into water chemistry about a year ago and decided I wasnt quite ready. Well lately I've been working at it again and I think now Ive got a better grip on things. So I'd like some feedback on these profiles to see if I'm on the right track...

Im trying to come up with another Oatmeal Stout to brew and I cant decide on a grain bill so I figured I'd ask for some feedback. Whatever grist I choose I'll be mashing at 155f and going for about 1.070 OG, hopping with EKG to about 28IBU, adding 1/2 lb of lactose, and fermenting with WLP002...

Sorry for putting this here but I posted in another section and got zero responses. I'm looking into a thermometer from Thermoworks and am interested particularly in the ceramic wire probe as described below in an excerpt from their site... "The High Temp Flexible Ceramic Fiber Insulated...

Theres an old thread somewhere around here someone started that IIRC was about the Thermopen. Someone else post about another thermometer that I believe is from Thermoworks and I cant seem to find it. This one had the option for a thin wire probe attachment that looked about a foot long. Except...

I'm trying to figure out the abv if I add 750ml Everclear(151 proof) to a 1gal mixture with a 1.110 gravity. TIA
