    Placing the thermo sensor on the bottom of a Sankey fermenter?

    So I'm thinking of using a Sankey for fermentation, using a heating cord and glycol through copper on the outside to control temp. Unfortunately, with my current design I will not have a thermowell, and with the heating/cooling elements on the side, I cannot have it there. Is the temperature...

    Honey Ale

    I'm trying to put together a honey-tasting pale ale, and could use some advice. Adding too much honey will make it dry out a lot, and I hear it doesn't really contribute that much to taste anyway. Being in Europe, Gambrinus Honey Malt is off the table (if someone has info contrary to this I'd...

    Repitching harvested yeast on a monthly basis, possible?

    So what I gather from reading Yeast by Chris White and Jamil, you want to harvest yeast within a day or two after fermentation is done (assuming from the bottom of a conical) and repitch as soon as possible, never later than two weeks afterwards.

Was planning on doing a 2L starter, pitch 1.5L and then do another 2L starter with the remainder for the next day. I didn't consider the age...

    Considering building a tower brew stand. Thoughts?

    I'm brewing out of my apartment and while I don't have a lot of space, I could build something small on my balcony. I've researched different brew stands, and from what I can see there's three kinds: Single tier Three tiers Tree Neither really hits my sweet spot! I want to...

    CO2 regulator outlet pressure gauge not reacting to needle valve

    Hey brewers! I just got my first couple of brews done, and am about to keg. When I bought my cornys, they were all out on co2 regulators, but I figured that wouldn't be too hard to find. Fast forward a couple of weeks and a lot of frustration, and I've now had to settle for a regulator made...
