    I didn't fill my Keg quietly. Have I oxygenated my beer?

    Crap. I got in a hurry and didn't think. Everything was perfect till them. FG right on. Uncarbonated wort tasted as I would expect. I guess I'll chalk this one up to being a relative noob. Next time I'll use a hose. Bill

    I didn't fill my Keg quietly. Have I oxygenated my beer?

    I just got my first ball lock keg and I transferred my Irish Red Ale from the fermenter directly into a keg. I set the fermenter on the counter top and the keg on the floor, and opened the spigot - letting the beer pour into a keg. (No racking cane/hose. Just let the stream flow.) I got a...

    Do you spend too much on this hobby?

    I've always tended to go a bit overboard with my hobbies. When I was younger I used to play recreational basketball at least 4 times a week. Played Bball well into my 50s. Used to play golf every weekend for something like 25 years. Bought a really old guitar a few years ago (though it was a...

    Starter Yeast questions

    I did shake it yes. It didn't break up all that great, but it did break down some. Bill

    Starter Yeast questions

    Also, when I split the yeast, the yeast cake looked pretty firm; like no longer easily slurried (I know that's probably not a word, but you catch the drift hopefully). After warming up the yeast to room temps, do I need to do anything to get it back in slurry state? (Sorry for the stupid...

    Starter Yeast questions

    I made a 1.5 liter Yeast starter a week or so ago. I let it ride on a stir plate for a couple of days and then cold crashed it for two more days. The plan was to then split off 500 ml. for future use and pitch the remaining 1 liter into an Irish Red Ale recipe. But foolishly I didn't look for...

    How long is too long in the fermenter?

    How long is too long in the fermenter?

    I have been planning to brew a nice Irish Ale on Monday - the yeast starter is going along nicely now. But I just found out we will be leaving for 3 to 4 weeks, starting a week from Friday. That would make only 12 days in the fermenter before we leave. So I have options on how to approach...

    Star San Soak - Passivation?

    Yes, I agree! The amount of Starsan they wanted me to use convinced me to just let the new Brew Bucket sit for several weeks - letting in passivate on it's own in air. Bill

    Star San Soak - Passivation?

    When I got my Brew Bucket from SS Brewtech, their instructions included the following: Passivation It’s a good idea to passivate your stainless steel equipment with an acid based solution. Filling the vessel with StarSan at 1oz per gallon of water or other acid passivation solution at the...
