Have you opened and cleaned the inside of your kettle ball valve? A few years ago I was getting a weird off flavor and the gunked up residue in the ball valve was the cause.

You are good. I don't usually see any real activity until 12 to 24hrs later. I usually let my starters go for 2-3 days.

I don't think these packages are meant to be opened and decanted from. According to Fermentis, once the package is opened, it should be used within 7 days. This package appears to be geared towards micro brewery size batches.

You are fine. I've fermented kombucha for over 20 days and it turned out good. It just becomes more tart as it is eating more of the sugar. Your PH readings show that it was fermented. Taste it. You do not need to through out the 2 scobys, they look healthy to in the pictures..

I boil mine for 10 mins the morning or day before I brew. I clean it after every brew by running and soaking in PBW. Even after thorough cleaning and back flushing, hops still come out after boiling the chiller. Never had an infection or plugged chiller. So far imo the plate chiller is far...

I brew a lot of Kolsch using WLP029. The longer I let the beer cold crash, the better it taste. I don't mess around with any ph adjusments. I find fermentation on the cold side 60-65f give the best results I usually primary for 2-3 weeks then keg & carbonate and let sit in fridge for at...

At flame out a take a large spoon and stir the heck out of the wort until it whirlpools. I put the lid back on and let it sit for 5 -10 mins before draining. I use a plate chiller so it's easy to stir the wort and then close the lid. I get a pretty good trub cone in the middle of the kettle.

Never mind I just saw mt pleasant in you price lidt

Where in Michigan are you located?

Yes it was at Jakes Hop Shoppe. They are the only local home brew store now that they just bought Innovative Homebrewing. I used to buy my supplies from ihb. To be honest, jakes prices are good and now they have all of ihb's inventory. This where I will be shopping now. The only other...

I was at the lhbs store today and found a flyer for Windsor Homebrewing guild. I think I may check them out. There is also ECHO (Essex County Homebrewing Org). I'm not sure if they still meet. I sent them an email about 8 months ago and no one got back to me.

Welcome to the hobby! I'm located in Windsor. Not too far from you.

I like the speidel as well. I have the 60l and it's very easy to clean. I use a little bit of pbw and a microfibre cloth to clean the inside. I brew 11gallon batches I have yet to see the krausen make it to the lid (tons of head space). Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I live in Windsor On and bought a Costco special Danby Kegerator for $450. It's a single tap and comes with the CO2 tank. I think you will be hard pressed to make one yourself cheaper. The downside is that it only has 1 tap. This has been serving me well for over a year...But I do plan on...
