    Mash Tun Question

    Do any of you guys continue to use your mash tun as a regular cooler for drinks or whatever as well (obviously not at the same time you are mashing :D)? Just wondering if the heat of mashing negatively affected the insulation in any way, or perhaps caused it to breakdown faster.

    Bumping up IBUs: post boil

    Is there anyway to increase IBUs after the wort is brewed and in the fermenter? I've heard of some people making a hop tea type deal, but does this really work? and at what point should you add it? before, during, or after fermentation?

    3711 max temp

    What's the max temp you would let this yeast rise to? I know with 3724 you basically can let it go to whatever temp it wants, but I think 3711 is a little more sensitive to heat. I would like to start at 68 and let it go, ambient of 78-79 so it would definitely end up in the 80s, what do you...

    BIAB kettle volume/sparging question

    I want to do a 3 gallon BIAB with a 5 gallon (20qt) pot. Ideally I'd like to do single pot, however I'm thinking I may not be able to make that work. Using Green bay rackers can I mash it calculator I'm showing about a max of 2.5 qt/lb with the 7 lbs of grain I am using to still fit in my...

    Wyeast 3787 Ferm Temp

    Anybody fermented with Wyeast 3787 at 72-74*? If so, how did it turn out? I did the NB Patersbier kit at that ferm temp, samples have been good and haven't been overwhelmed by any phenol flavors but its hard to judge at room temp.

    Cleaning & Sanitizing bottles

    hey guys, brewed my 1st batch (NB Patersbier extract kit) about 2.5 weeks ago, and am looking to bottle this weekend. Just wanted to know how everyone cleans and sanitizes bottles, since I'm about to do that and there seems to be a lot of ways to go about it (specifically the sanitation)...
