I have used PB2 in a porter for some time now. I use it in too ways: 1) as a slurry in the boil the last 10 minutes. I mix the entire jar (mix it watery) and 2) in my secondary I add 1/4 cup of dry powder per day for a week. I do not stir. I have entered this recipe in a few contest over the...

Does anyone have a good diagram for a control panel? I'm looking for something to plug into a 120v wall outlet. All I'm trying to run is a pump, pid, and heating element. I would like to have the options for upgrades. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That's what a co-worker told me. Do you think I could cold crash it to settle it? If so what is the best way to do that? I have never cold crashed before.

This is going to be a Cream Ale. I make it all the time in 5 gal batches but, this time I tried some different hops.

No I did not. Honestly I have never heard of doing that, how is the best way to do that.

This is my first one gallon batch and it does not look anything I have ever done. On brew day I did exactly the same thing as if it were a five gallon batch. When I pitched my yeast I did use a complete vile of WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast Blend. My temp is set at 68 degrees. This going on the second...

I just got home and check my wert. I have the fermenting chamber set at 67 F and it is going like crazy. Hopefully this is a good sign.

I did make a yeast starter just under 500ml for a 2.5 gal batch. Is that too much of a starter?

Does it hurt anything by me not aerating?

Yesterday I made and IPA and forgot to aerate. Will this cause any trouble or just a slow response from the yeast?

Sorry Cinnamon stick If I back sweeten do I need to worry about re-fermentation?

I made my first batch of cider about two months ago. The OG was 1.055 and when I transferred it to my secondary it the FG was 1.010. I have tasted it along and it was dry and tart, so I put a couple cider sticks in about a week ago. The cider has been kept at room temp and in a dark place. So...

I thought HERMS was where the wort ran across a hot water heating element and REMS ran threw coils immersed in hot water?

Basically I was thinking of using two pumps. One for the CFC to push the wort and one for the HLT. I was thinking I could use that instead of using an immersion chiller in the HLT.

I'm in the process of building a REMS system. I'm wanting to use a convoluted counter flow chiller. I'm thinking this will save me from truing to figure out to keep cold spots in my HLT. Any ideas?

I just thought it was kinda of strange

Is this going to be typical occurrence?

I took a gravity reading yesterday for a batch of cider I made last week and was kind of surprised. When I spun my hydrometer in it stuck at 1.050'ish and had quite a bit of bubbles come up. However as I was standing and looking in amazement I noticed the hydrometer slowly sinking. Is that normal?

I'm still kinda new at all grain. So I'm trying to understand, how can I be too efficient? Is that bad?

Beer Smith gave me an OG of 1.063. However when I too the OG of preboil it was at 1.055 and my post boil was at 1.070. I took readings at 60 degrees. Does any one have any ideas?
