Has anybody done one of these? Can't find references to this specific model, but it appears to be like most other Danbys.

I thought it would be interesting to compile some people's results with doing a true, spontaneous fermentation wherever they live. It might be useful to post general location and process so we can learn what does/doesn't work and try to improve our process. I suppose I'll start. Fairmount...

Hey guys, I have some lambic-style wort sitting in a carboy that I pitched a big healthy starter of L. brevis into. Within a few days the pH had dropped down to around 3.55. My plan was to pitch a starter of Brett Trois in once the pH dropped to the low 3s. I figured maybe something was...

So, it seems my pH meter is going nuts. I'm trying to do a two-point calibration with 7.01 and 4.01 solution. When I put the meter into calibration mode and it comes up and says "7.01 Use", I put it into the 7.01 solution. Then, it switches to saying "10.01 REC". It used to just stay on 7.01...

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of the Domaine Dupont ciders and would like to make something similar. I'm a little bit confused by some of the stats for the Bouche Brut on their website, though. To me, this cider tastes bone dry, but on their site they say they bottle it when it reaches 1.024...

Hey guys, I'm moving here in about 2 months, at which point my Flemish Red will be around 7 months old. It's been sitting in a BetterBottle for the entire fermentation without me disturbing it too much. I've read on here that most people recommend transferring to a keg and blasting it with...

Hi all, I've got a bunch of experience adding brett strains at bottling and I've had great results from that. However, I've never tried adding lacto or lacto/brett at bottling time. Has anybody ever tried this? Does anybody foresee an issues with the lacto acting under pressure...

Hi All, I can't seem to find this discussed all that much and given the focus on huge hop stand/steeping additions these days I figured it was an interesting topic: What is the effect of a 10-20 minute whirlpool after flameout on hops added during the boil (FWH, 15, 10, 5, etc)? It seems...

Heading to Brussels and Bruges with the wife for a few days after a few other European cities. Wanted to poll the audience here on some cool bars to go and interesting beers to try. We are stopping by Cantillon, Moeder Lambic, and Delerium and probably will swing by Bier Tempel. Obviously...

I have a saison that I brewed a month or so ago that came out nicely and I would like to enter into competition (my first). It is a regular saison grain bill, but hopped with north american hops (citra, mosaic, calypso), fermented with saison dupont yeast and then bottled with brett brux...

Hey guys, I'm brewing up a Russian Imperial Stout next week with around 72% pale, 13% roasted malts, 25% caramel malts and other adjuncts. According to bru'n water, my mash pH comes out to an even 5.0. My current brewing water has an RA profile of 27. According to everything I've read...

Hey guys, I'm throwing together a recipe for an RIS that has a ton of coffee flavor and more of an oatmeal stout type base. It has a ton of different ingredients right now based on different flavors that I'm looking for and I'd like some feedback from you guys to see if all of these are...

I've been having an issue with my beers that utilize large portion of pilsner malt (both german and belgian, both from multiple suppliers). Most of the beers that have pilsner come across with an off taste in the middle, with an overwhelming finish of cracker/saltine. The taste in the middle...

Hi All, Recently I've been experiencing bottles that seem to always have excessive carbonation. I always clean my bottles after pours, leave them overnight in an OxyClean bath and then fully submerge/sanitize the bottles in my bottling bucket with a StarSan solution. Several bottles...

Hi all, I'm looking to brew an Anchor Liberty clone for my next batch. I've seen a few all-grain recipes on here that people have put up, but it has never been clear if the poster has brewed them before or they're just offering up recipe suggestions. I'm fine trying to convert an AG recipe...
