I decided to try out Brett for the first time with a 100% Brett fermented IPA, 1.055 OG. Not thinking I looked at hybrid calculations on Mr malty and with with that pitching rate for an 11.5gal batch, but did not realize that the Yeast Bay Brett vials were such a low cell count vs mixed strain...

For those items that are typically shaped like the above, how do you handle soaking/cleaning them with PBW? On my old 3 tier setup I'd fill the HLT with PBW after each session and do it that way, but now that I BIAC I don't typically have anything I fill with PBW for more than a gallon anymore...

I've had my keezer up and going for over 2 years now and all I've done to maintain the lines is periodically run hot PBW through them and my Ultra seal Accuflex hard lines from Birdman. After doing that and letting them sit for 30 min I run hot starsan through the lines. Whenever I run...

I already have a 2L Erlenmeyer flask that I used a few times when doing 5 gal batches. After reading reviews I've seen a lot of people complain about cracking and breaking the flasks and causing a huge mess. What other options are there for doing massive starters for 10gal batches? Of course...

So I've been brewing for around 2 years now and jumped all in with a full 3 tier system for 5 gallons, kegging, and dual stage fermentation chamber. I loved every aspect of it but eventually got a little overwhelmed with every little intricate process I added to brewing in the effort for higher...

The literature and online reading I've seen all point towards the higher end of the mash pH range for stouts/porters/darker beers (5.4-5.7). I also throw my roasted grains in at the end of the mash for mashout, thus to not bring about a "burnt coffee" sort of flavor that Gordon Strong talked...

Looking around I see many options, but some occasional reviews saying the hops arrived with the seal not intact, etc. I'd like to order from somewhere with mylar bags, nitrogen flushed, and stored correctly from when they were harvested. So, what's your favorite place for quality and price?

I've been focusing on my water chemistry the last 6 or 7 batches and thought I had it all dialed in. I started with both EZ Water and Bru'n Water and found Bru'n Water to be a bit more accurate for my system so I have been using that the last several batches. I use a Thermoworks 8100 with ATC...

I have been brewing for over a year now, all-grain, kegging, stc-1000 ferm chamber, immersion chiller, etc. I, like some people on here, have not been happy with my IPA's/pale ales. There seems to be an "off" flavor that I can't quite describe in anything I brew with quite a bit of hops. I've...

I am brewing with RO water for the first time. I will be using 100% RO water so I can build it how I want it with less unknowns than my local water report. To date I have only brewed with charcoal filtered home water with campden tablets. I will be brewing a pale ale (Russian River Two Hill...

So today I'm brewing a huge 1.100 RIS to age until next year. Everything goes great, first runnings are nice and smooth, no problems. I go to batch sparge and all hell breaks loose. I CANNOT get this thing unstuck. So I'm sitting there blowing into the valve constantly unsticking it and...

I have some store bought Watkins pure vanilla extract I'd like to use for a porter I'm kegging tonight. I was wondering what the approximate amount of vanilla extract is to a homemade extract with one bean. 1-2 tsp per vanilla bean?

How long will this keep in a standard cleaned bucket or spray bottle? I've read various opinions on the matter. Right now I have a bucket filled with 5 gallons of distilled water that I use whenever I need to sanitize something as well as two spray bottles filled with the same. How long...

And by first AG brew, I mean my first brew day period! I skipped extract, BIAB, partial mash, bottling, etc. Built a GE 7.0 three tap keezer with 525ss Perlicks, SS shanks & nipple, 10# aluminum CO2 tank, 4-way manifold, etc controlled by a digital A149. Also built a Fermentation chamber...

Can anyone with a GE 7.0 keezer build measure the overall width and length of their collar? My freezer won't be delivered for a few days but I'd like to get a head start on the collar:D And marker for my keezer build. Planning a dark stain for the collar and chalkboard paint on the unit :)
