Wondering if this sold? I am interested in the unit if it's still available. Greg

No, I keep the siphon well above the trub. I may try the grain sock next time.

So, I kegged another IPA last week and went to test the beer yesterday. I had the beer in Primary moved it to secondary and dry hopped in secondary. Then later moved it to the keg to carbonate. I have been using hop pellets and every time the hop "mud" somehow seems to evade the numerous...

Yooper Thanks for the help!

I am using a wyeast ringwood ale smack pack and smacked and shook at 10am on Saturday the 21st. The pack didn't swell in the allocated time so I crashed my wort and gave the yeast a night to multiply. Got up on Sunday not good still no swelling. I opened the pack and made a small starter...

165F not boil bad choice of words but thanks for the tips all.

The only other I forgot to mention is when I steeped the grains I forgot to bust them up. After I began boiling them I strained them out crushed them and put them back in to finish. Would this throw the sg off by .032.

I am brewing an IPA with 7lbs of muntons light dme. The sg should have been 1.064 but when I took my reading I got 1.032. I know the amount of water is accurate having brewed previously. I took my reading prior to pitching the yeast the only thing I did differently was a late extract addition...

I soak them in warm water then use a stainless steel scrubby to remove glue and labels works great!!!

I didn't think I got much yeast at all but not having used the tap system before I wasn't sure how much it took to clog the tube. I am carbonating at 5psi at 40F should I turn it up to 12psi when its time to pour it?

I just finished putting my DIPA in a cornelius keg after secondary fermentation and began carbonating but when I tried to pour beer out after 24 hours I got an ounce or so of cloudy yeast mixed brew and then it wouldn't pour anything else. After taking the tap off and messing with it I...

Welcome. I'm relatively new to HBT and I am in Jefferson County, WV

Has anyone ever tried one of the yeast strains made for distillation purposes. I see some posting 16% alcohol in 24 hours wondering if this could be used for home brewing a barley wine brew.

I dry hopped with an ounce of cascade but i'm still not satisfied with the result Here is the recipe: Would you recommend some other aroma hops???? .75 dingemans caramel pils .25 briess caramel 120 12lbs pale malt LME 1oz yakima magnum 60 min 1oz liberty 30 min 1oz yakima magnum 10 min 2oz...

I have a DIPA in secondary and have been taking readings and sampling. One thing I've noticed is that it doesn't seem to be very hoppy. Will the bittering and aroma hops show more as the beer ages? Will carbonation change the way I smell and taste hops?

My OG was 1.08 and it's been in the secondary for about 10 days yesterday it read 1.033

I just got done brewing a DIPA and am a little worried about the faint smell of iodophor on everything. Should I rinse iodophor with water or just let it dry. I did follow the dilution recommendation but it still seems to have a smell. Would anyone recommend starsan instead?

I'm brewing a DIPA and didn't make a starter with the pacman yeast like the recipe called for instead I simply pitched the smack pack. It started bubbling within 24 hours but I wanted to know if anyone has done this before and if so how did it affect the FG.

I have a DIPA in secondary and wanted to know if you drink it or put it back after testing with a hydrometer. I was told it could contaminate the batch so I've have been drinking it.
