    new MLT won't clear the wort during recirculation

    About a year ago, I upgraded from my cooler MLT that I'd had forever to a traditional keggle-style MTL. Previously, when recirculating with the cooler MLT, I would use my chugger pump for about 15 minutes. The wort would be crystal clear going into the boil kettle. At the time, I never used...

    Kettle sours getting too sour

    I took the advice of this forum and kettle-soured a batch with L Planarum. It worked like a beast, and got the pH down to 3.2 in less than 48 hours. The second time I used it, I was trying to keep it from getting quite that sour, so I reduced the dose from the recommended 5 pills (in 5...

    lager starter size and pure O2

    For a 10 gallon lager, Mr. Malty suggests something like a 2 gallon starter, even for normal gravity lagers. Because that is huge pain, I was wondering if I could avoid it by pitching something easier, like a half gallon, using pure O2 for 60 seconds, then giving the beer a second dose of pure...

    Keezer wiring problem

    I'm installing an 8-tap draft tower onto an old chest freezer I found on craigslist. The lid is with a welder now having the holes drilled for the tower. The lid had wiring going into it for a light and an "auto defrost" button. I can't imagine why, but someone had once cut the wiring and...

    FG is a 2?!

    I made a Belgian blonde with Wyeast 1388 Belgian golden strong yeast. The initial gravity was a 1.058. I just measured the FG after 3 weeks in the primary and it was 1.002. That's right, two zeros. I was hoping for a low FG, but this works out to 7.35% ABV and 96% attenuation, which is...
