I have beer gas to the nitro tap that runs at about 25 psi on beers carbed at low volume. I use CO2 for my other two with only one regulator. One of my perlick taps has the dampener which I really like.

Honestly, unless you know and input your water profile into an even marginal water management program like BeerSmith, you're just pissing in the wind and will have no idea what is actually in your water. Sounds like your ready to graduate from "5.2" gimmick to real water chemistry and that...

I put a double tap topper on my True single tap bev fridge a couple years ago for three total taps and I really like it. I have the nitro in the middle and two perlicks on the sides. Id worry about the T style on mine because the metal isn't that heavy and the tower is only mounted with three...

Rdon, is quite right about sulfates, and bobcat as well. BSM offers a date option with their hop addition, oxygen wastes hops like anything else. Unless, your hops are vacuumed sealed you can expect about 50 Alpha Acid loss or the like. Also, if you're so inclined many brewers will CO2 purged...

Was the wort at pitching/room temp when you measured its specific gravity? Sometimes the paper inside a hydrometer can be way off. The recipe sounds pretty good regardless, I've had plenty of success with safe ales dry yeasts in the past. I'd let it worm right up myself for to get the fruit...

yeah you might have what you need, but your measures are off. Judge by how it ferments and tastes, pr fine..

Thanks guys, yeah I went with it cause it is a really mildly spiced beer, plus its very low alcohol, also was made with the same trappist yeast as the next high gravity batch trippel going into the barrel. Until the barrel is soured I will rely on a thorough 180F plus hot rinse between batches

Right, I am curios about mash pH in the true double mash. And yeah I strayed cause I think a parti glyle would almost be requisite as otherwise waste would be substantial.

Right, really I was wondering if anyone knows of a method or a software that allows for multiple mashes and the like in a single recipe. Averaging fractions is pretty simple.

Thats exactly the situation so that is why I was considering it. I'm generally maxing out my signal infusion 10 gallon mash for 10-14 gallon batches.

So many excellent responses here, no room to quote them all. Thanks. For interest sake my intentions were to make a 1080 trippel with as much malt as I can cram in my 10 gallon cooler appropriately as well as course DME (which is too pricey even bought in bulk) and less than 10 to 15 percent...

Thanks Cyblman, Yeah the spiced beer has been in the barrel for about a month. It's very mildly spiced though so I'm not worried about it much. I'm kegging that tomorrow and putting a triple into it.

I've been a BSM user for quite a while, but unsure how to log a double mash (that is use the first mash runnings to mash a second grain bed) in the software. Any insights into this? Any other softwares like Brewers Friend capable of this?

I have a 15 gallon charred American oak bourbon barrel from a small distillery that produced a wonderful BBS that I just bottled and kegged after three weeks with two stout fractions in the barrel. There's a lot of bourbon left in the wood and the barrel is still free of lacto or any unwanted...

There are many ways to to estimate the cell count, but your going to want to pitch a lot for that jump. Use a yeast calc and play w the variations of cell density from 1-3, input your big gravity and volumes. You'll need a large pitch and fermentable sugars to not end up with sweet beer. It's...

Rupert is closer to right, if it's done which is most surely is, it's done. Don't let it sit on the yeast, that's dumb. Either package it or if you feel compelled to rack it do so, but you'll oxidize and lose freshness. It's fresh, it can mature in the package. Enjoy it. Sent from my iPhone...

It's going to take longer and that's a very small pitch. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The Krausen is your airlock. Just put some foil over it and let it spew till it chills back. Then airlock it again. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks, that the feedback I was looking for. I'm really happy with the product I have sampling now, so think the elderberries are a no go.
