Great idea... Will do that... I got co2 yesterday... Thanks again everyone

Thanks for the input! I will try those two suggestions... Both sound plausible

I know the title sounds like the beginning of a joke but it's true. I had 4 kegs hooked up and I hooked a 5th keg up and a week or two later I looked in the bottom of my keezer to find the 5th keg had completely emptied into the bottom. There was obviously a leak someplace bit just curious...

It was designed within style and I think it turned out very nice... I added some fresh orange peel and the Citra compliments it nicely If you are a hop head it doesn't have enough but if you are going good for the style guidelines... It's on the money... IMO Best of luck!

Awesome...thanks...once these posts get any higher than a couple pages I find it laborious to go through every page to find the needle in the hay stack. Thanks again...just hoping this beer clears up in a couple weeks

Thanks...quick question...did i add the extract correctly by just adding it, by itself, into the secondary prior to transfering the beer Thanks

so I tasted this for the first time this week and it is really tasty. if I had to change anything I would make it have a bit more body...it is a little thin tasting but very refreshing. How would I go about making this with more body, would I simply mash at a higher temp? the orange flavor...

I made this recently with lager yeast. I transferred to the secondary this week and added 1tsp of amalyze extract in secondary prior ti putting beer in secondary. I added the powdery extract straight in witiut dissolving it first. Did i do this wrong, there has been no added activity like...

OK, so i told you I would report back with an update on how this tastes. I cant tell you exactly how it tastes because I just moved it from the primary to my keg (after cold crashing it for two days)...but...I did sample it and it smells wonderful and the taste was defnitly a wheat beer with a...

Very nice...that thing is a beast! :rockin: I do like my copper wire holding everything together but yours has got to be 100% rock solid...there is still a small amount of play in mine but night and day difference from not having the wire binding it together! I would love to see some other...

No, I simply put the ic into the kettle and move it around a bit... Quick and easy and best of all easy to clean up, just a quick spray of the hose

Perfect... I will try that

I originally thought the same thing and agreed with you about the separation but as you mentioned, if you simply move the chiller up and down gently it chills quick. I also have separated and locked the coils as one unit by weaving in between the coils copper wire. Just like you, I chilled to...

You know, I would consider it send me a PM if you are serious

Thank you... Just so I can clear you would do the diacetyl rest roughly 3 weeks into the ferment (assuming I keep it at 52 degrees for three weeks?) Sorry... Again, a bit of a noobie when it comes to lager yeast

Brewed this today... I have never done a 90 minute boil and miscalculated the evaporation rate... Started with 7.34(ish) gallons, hoping for 5.5 after 90 Minutes... Ended up with 4.75 gallons. Subsequently I missed my target OG of 1.031 and it's at 1.035. Oh well, next time I will plan for more...

Thank you for the help

I am brewing this tomorrow... I am using Wyeast 2007...my first lager I was wondering what temp I need to get my wort in order to pitch the lager yeast... I will ferment at 52... Also, any idea how a starter made from Pilsen light dme will affect the overall flavor of the beer... It's only a...

I recently built my second immersion chiller... Check out this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/great-wort-chiller-386382/ There are also good tips in that thread on where to buy the material
