Hey all! I just ordered the Fermzilla tri conical and will be playing with pressure fermentation right out of the gate. I've seen a morebeer video that states not to leave the butterfly valve open during pressure fermentation and the Kegland instructions just state to leave the butterfly valve...

Hey all! I'm working with a non hazy pale ale recipe. The grain bill is simple 95% 2 row 5% c40 and hops will be Idaho Gem, Amarillo, Centennial. Have some Conan laying around but I like clear beers lol Would be ok with non clear beer if yeast being in suspension is what really gives the...

Hey all! I was recently gifted a butt ton of exipred yeast from a lhbs. I'm looking to try and bank this up. Two of the strains are WLP067 Coastal Haze and WLP590 French Saison. These strains are diastaticus positive. Last time I used a diastaticus positive strain (Belle Saison) was way back in...

Hello everyone! I have been running into an issue with vinyl draft line in the ol kegerator. It seems no matter what I do the line lasts for right under a year then it has to be replaced. The lines are cleaned with an Oxiclean soak after every empty keg including disassembling and soaking the...

I am currently on a kveik kick and have Espe in the freezer bank. It hasn't been used yet. What hops play well with this strain? Is it more or less of a just use fruity hops like most other kvieks and enjoy type of strain?

Hey all! I plan on using Wyeast 2565 in a cream ale next weekend. The short of it is I have a potentially borked batch of cerveza with Cellarscience Baja. So I wanted to have a back up plan for Cinco De Mayo. The closest, readily available yeast for light beers, I have on hand is Wyeast 2565...

Hey all! I pitched WLP850, 50F, into a simple Pils which is 95% Pils and 5% light munich Sunday. There was activity right at 24 hours and well...I've never used this strain lol What are your experiences with this strain? Good, bad? Is it just a run of the mill macro lager strain? Also would...

Hey all! I just wanted to share my current experineces with Cellarscience Baja yeast https://cellarscience.com/products/baja-dry-beer-yeast I have a Cerveza that was brewed yesterday and it appears there is a good bit of lag time on this strain. 2 12 Gram packets were used on this batch. It's...

Hey all! I am wanting to try a cereal mash using 2lbs quick grits, .4 lbs base malt and 1 gallon of water. This would be 2 qts per lb of adjunct and 20% base malt per weight of adjunct. The plan is to let it sit around 158F for 20 min or so, bring it up to a light boil (maybe simmer) for 30 min...

Well it looks like hades might have frozen over https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-single?id=101&type=YEAST I'm curious to see if this means they will be putting in more effort to send other popular strains to the dry yeast market. I'm also curious to see the price point on this. Either way it's...

Hey all! I currently have a kegerator with these faucets...

Hey all! I will be brewing a Munich Helles around Mid December and am torn on what yeast strain to use. I was thinking of giving Omega Bayern a shot since it's supposedly the Augustiner strain. However, I have quite a few banked lager strains on hand so that's not the end all be all. Here's what...

Hey all! I was looking to see if anyone had experience with brewing using unfiltered tap water? A few breweries in my area use this and it seems to be ok. Now there are chlorine/chloramines in the water so all water that touches the beer will be treated with Campden. The mash PH will be...

I had an idea on creating a hand pump pin lock beer line cleaner. I have a few of these sitting around...

Hey all! I upgraded my kegerator from plastic cobra taps to the El cheapo rear sealing chrome taps earlier today. The kegerator warmed up and all pours are foam city! When I used the cobra taps I never had this issue. Now the mouth on these taps are a bit wider than cobra taps. At first my pours...

Hey all! I'm currently toying around with brewing a blonde ale based solely on Southern Hemisphere hops. I already have WLP001 cultured up, mostly, from the freezer so that's why that strain is listed in the recipe. I'm not well versed on the blonde ale style and wanted something that was plain...

Hey all! I have WLP051 and am wanting to learn this strain. Figured a Blonde ale would be a great recipe for this strain. The recipe in works is something that's a bit plain and would have to assume there is a pinch of character. Victory is something that was added as there is some left from a...

Hey all! I brewed a Witbier with old dried bitter orange peel. It really hasn't come through on this brew. The beer is kegged, carbed, and ready to go. However, it's missing that Orange flavor. Would it be ok if say I boiled a cup or two of campden treated water (we have chloramines so have to...

Hey all! I can't remember if this is a recipe I came up with earlier this year or if it was pulled from another site. Either way I'll be putting in the grain order for this and the Marzen on Friday. I have almost all the accessible White Labs homebrew lager strains (outside of wlp820 and wlp833)...

Hey all! I have a Northern Brewer Hullwrecker. I've had this since December 2020 and have brewed quite a bit with this. At first it worked great! Then about 9 months in or so it quit grabbing the grains. I found the "How to clean the grain mill" post in these forums and that fixed the issue...
