    Lager Cold Crash Delay?

    I made Bohemian Lager last Sunday. My method is to leave a room temperature until activity and then put in refrigerator at 55 degrees for two weeks. Remove from refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 3-4 days to finish fermentation. Then transfer to corny and cold crash at 35 degrees for...

    Ground Beef Jerky

    Did a batch this weekend. I mixed the mix until it was emulsified. Put in in the Jerky Cannon and pushed out my strips onto the dehydrator trays. I could tell right away that this was going to be different. Laid down nice and smooth. Cooked on at 150 - 160 for 6-7 hours. Perfect

    Ground Beef Jerky

    I use a dehydrator. I think you are dead on with the mixing. I am trying a new batch and mixed it four 3 - 4 minutes. Definitely could see a difference. In addition I picked up some tips to avoid using anything with vinegar. Will keep everyone posted

    Ground Beef Jerky

    Ok, I'm about to give up on this experiment. I have a homemade ground beef jerky recipe that really has a great taste to it. My problem is that when after dehydrating the meat it falls apart. In the two batches I have made I have cooked it to long and not long enough. What I am left with are...

    Running a heating element without a controller: Can it be done?

    When I started out brewing I used a Infinite Control Switch. It is very easy to hook up and I think it is a good starter to electric brewing. Basically the switch work like a magnet. Depending on the setting it is open (allowing electric current to the element) or closed. You use a the control...

    SSR

    I have several heat sinks sitting around, pm me and I will send you one. It will cost you a beer. It is my semi informed opinion that if you are using a SSR in a enclosed box everything in the box will be hot. Including the SSR, PID and wiring. I would hate to see any wiring come in contact...

    how to strip with stainless steel sleeve on thermocouple wire

    I take a exacto knife with a pointed end and split the braid down the middle to length. You don't need to do both sides, just one. It will take a few tries. Then I peel it back and trim the sleeve with fingernail clippers. As for the thermocoupler wires I again use the exacto knife and peel the...

    In praise of Auber Customer Support

    Been dealing with them for years. Never had a issue. You might pay a little more on the front end but service on the back end more then makes up for it

    DIY brew kettle element

    I assume your power source will be a 220 volt. With a 30 amp breaker you could use a 5500 low density element and be under the limits. But you are using a kettle with 21 gallon capacity. That's a lot of wort. Plus a 5500 element would be somewhat underpowered. Not saying it can't be done just...

    Looking for beer gas sources in Buffalo NY

    Try a Fire equipment store. Especially one that sells and refills fire extinguishers. I use our local and it $20.00 for a 20 lb tank.

    Slow pouring keg

    I had the same problem. When I was done with the keg I realized the dip tube was logged against the bottom. I rotated it a little and problem solved.
