    Weird Semi-Frozen Keg/Bottling Experience

    My kegerator is dial-controlled and likes to freeze on warmest setting (working on that solution now). Was bottling with a beer gun the other day and did not realize the keg was semi- frozen. I got about 20 beers bottled and the liquid ran dry (so I thought). I had been drinking from this keg...

    Ok to add gelatin late in the game

    I have a tastey SN Celebration Ale clone in "secondary", aka the keg. The carb is spot on and beer is good but I transferred a good amount of yeast cake etc. into keg on accident and it just hasn't cleared up very well despite irish moss during boil and cold crash. Looks hazey with good amount...

    Yeast Cake in Blowoff Container

    Thanks! Turned out fantastic. Great yeast leaves a nice head retention and brings out my "house" maltiness. Very quick acting dry yeast - I've used dry 3 xs in a row and am wondering these days what the advantage to liquid with a 24-hour starter is? Seems like too much trouble for the payoff...

    Yeast Cake in Blowoff Container

    Just racked from my primary fermenter and noticed a layer of yeast cake at bottom of my blowoff jar on receiving end of blowoff tube. Apparently, I had quite the violent fermentation going on with 2 packs of Nottingham (Danstar #-) [23.66 ml]. Very active stuff- I just rehydrated before...

    Re-bottling question

    Thx Flars. Good approach. In this case, I used a beer gun the first time around with the bombers and the beer was fully attenuated so no yeast or seds to speak of in the bottle. Given that, I got a keg super cold and super clean and transferred the bombers into it tonight and set it at 30 PSI...

    Re-bottling question

    So I have (3) 22 oz bombers left of a tastey big Rye IPA that has reached its prime. I wanted to enter this batch into a local competition, not in hopes of winning anything, but for good solid feedback and the chance to experience the competition atmosphere and taste some other kind beer during...

    Accounting for extreme relative humidity

    Good input. Sounds like this will come with experience but I should try to estimate how much volume is actually in the kettle after sarging vs. just measuring the amount of sparge water I add. For example, I probably had 6.5 gallons of sparge water, but 7.5 or so after sparging off what was...

    Accounting for extreme relative humidity

    Had an extreme all grain brew session in Hendersonville NC a few days ago in my unheated barn brewery. It was 3 degrees outside. Not sure what the RH was, but the air was abnormally dry. I planned on a 6.5 gallon batch, so used 6.5 gallons of sparge water. After a 90 minute boil, I only had...

    Dry Hop 101 Question

    As I was stuffing some lovely leafy hops into a bag to drop into the fermentor this weekend, I wondered how and why this introduction of plant matter doesn't present a risk of introducing bacteria/wild yeast to a fermenting brew. Everyone's always careful not to introduce any foregin material...
