I'm planning a keezer collar and I wanted to know if anyone has come across any more elegant solutions to running the temperature probe through the collar than just drilling a hole or just running under the gasket. I will be attempting to ferment and serve in the same keezer so I plan on...

Quick update. I started getting activity again from my blow off 1 day after adding the amylase enzyme but didn't see any gravity drop on my Tilt so I got impatient added another packet of re-hydrated dry yeast the next day and started seeing a 1 point drop every other day or so. After 12 days...

How long before people are seeing fermentation start back up? Added 2 tsp 24 hours ago to a Baltic porter that was stuck at 1.028 down from 1.072 and no activity from the blowoff yet or change on my Tilt. I have some more yeast ready to go in case nothing happens but Id like to minimize how...

Right on, that's exactly what I ended up buying after reading those links and will add tonight. I'm definitely not looking to give this thing the Brut IPA treatment with amyloglucosidase but if I can get this thing down to even 1.02 I'd be happy. If not, it tastes decent as it is but its a...

In the two times I’ve tried it I’ve found the key to keeping a consistent temperature is just doing a full volume mash with no sparge. That much water in the cooler doesn’t seem to drop much.

I've been messing around with mashing overnight at full volume (so I guess you could call it BIAB eventhough I'm still using my converted Igloo mash tun) to split up my brew day. It has worked pretty well but I recently brewed a baltic porter (recipe below) and I missed my target mash temp of...

I'm looking for any experience combining WLP565 and WLP566. I have scoured this thread and people have mentioned wanting to try it but not any specific results. Any feedback would be great but I am specifically debating on how to combine them. Co-pitch 1:1, Pitch WLP565 and pitch WLP566 when...

Mind telling me what the internal dimensions of that fridge are? I was considering buying one to convert to a kegerator and want to know how many kegs I can fit. Thanks.

I have been sitting on 5 gallons of Berliner Weisse brewed with WLP630 for the last six months. I'm ready to bottle half and split the other half into a 3 gallon carboy with raspberry puree. My concern is that the yeast is dormant by now and will not ferment any of the puree, leaving me with...

I currently have a Russian Imperial Stout in primary and plan to add some oak chips soaked in bourbon at some point during secondary. I don't have a set plan as to how long I will be bulk aging the beer in secondary since I think that depends on personal taste but I plan on tasting monthly to...

If I leave this in primary for a about a month and then move it to secondary for 5-6 months will I need to add any additional yeast before bottling like you normally would for a beer that conditions for that long?

After that long of a fermentation, do you need to add additional yeast before bottling so ensure carbonation as you would with non bugged beers?
