Took 3 bunches to get roughly the 2 pounds I used. Also looked up beets. Contain high amounts of sugar obviously but also phosphorus, magnesium, and b6. Pretty sure that's about the ingredients listed on brew craft yeast nutrient. Makes sense because at 9 days I still have krausen and a lot of...

Processed in food processor. Peeled like a potato first, then halved and processed. Added directly to mash. I biab at total volume so no sparge.

Left out the traditional bitter orange peel and coriander to try and maximize red x flavor.

Blah, blah, recipe.

I should look up the b vitamin content in beets. 9 grams of sugar per cup for those interested.

So I think it had something to do with b vitamins in the beets. Acted as yeast nutrient. I put 2 pounds in the mash. After boil you couldn't taste them but the color was there. Doesn't smell bad or beety. This is also a wheat beer.

On mobile so I'll keep this easy. Brewed a beer with red beets and got crazy fermentation. Anyone else experience this?

Hey all, I just started making cider and wanted to say a few things about my first batch and had a few questions of how to proceed. I started off with 5 gallons of pasteurized cider from a local orchard and used the one gallon starter technique. I drained about a glass of cider out of one...

Where are you and what extras are you selling? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Home Brew mobile app

I didn't leave it for 3 weeks intentionally. I was going to brew and got side tracked. Either way, brew is now up to 71 degrees and clicking like a mad man. Just needed more patience. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Home Brew mobile app

No it wasn't boiled...i assumed freezing it for 3weeks would kill any wild bacteria. This was the practice perpetrated by the Sam Adams brewing contest a few years ago. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Home Brew mobile app

Today I made an extract kit and tried a fast way to cool my wort. I had premade a gallon of ice and intended to do a 4 gallon boil, chill it on a sink of ice water and them rack it to a fermenter on top of this gallon of ice thus getting me my 5 gallons as well as speeding the chill process. I...

I'm pretty sure patience is key when brewing, fermenting, and kegging. I've only brewed about 5 times but I think that it is really important to take your time with temps, mash rests, and especially fermentation....which is why the early transfer got my OCD all wacky. Sent from my DROID BIONIC...

He has two kids and between sports etc he didn't think he would have time during the week.....so I racked it for him. Otherwise I would have preferred to let it go another couple days to a week. This being his first brew in almost 20 years i think he is just excited to have his first one done to...

Try brewing him his favorite beer and explain that you can make it for him at a fraction of the cost and that those little bloops are money going into the bank. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Home Brew mobile app

So despite my better judgment we racked to a secondary today. We were still in very active fermentation but brother said we had to do it due to time constraints on his part. Tried the wort/ partially fermented beer and took another gravity reading. Everything seems to be tracking along. Sent...

Yeah I don't think I would drink that...but I have a weak stomach. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Home Brew mobile app

As an aside, I would also like to brag that i just bought a pound of citra pellets and half a pound of amarillo hop pellets for 20 bucks. Looks like an ipa is in my future. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Home Brew mobile app

I didn't think you were being disrespectful, just direct. I love your false bottom. My setup plan is a two keggle system with true false bottom, sight glass, and sparge arm. This is my brothers setup and his first time brewing since 1996. He isn't into the math and science so much and more just...
