Any idea how to clean hop oils off stainless steel? I've been using CO2 hop extracts lately and wow has it brought the aroma to the next level. However hop oil is a real PITA to clean off equipment. It turns the plastic abrasive brushes green and gooey, and my last batch has proven to be a...

I have three 28 gallon stainless steel fusti tanks for sale. 2 new in box and 1 new out of box. They're Italian made and work great for fermenters. I bought too many so my loss is your gain. FWIW I have a few I've been using for 2 years that I'm keeping. They work great with big lids for...

Well looks like I have a water dilemma. I have well water high in Iron, but low in every other parameter. Raw water = 2.3 ppm Iron which is about 7+ times the EPA recommended limit and well above what you want to use for brewing. Post water softener the Iron is eliminated, but of course it...

Not my first ever AG batch as the title might suggest, but it's a 1 bbl batch so it has to be solid. I'd hate to dislike a beer when there's that much to be had! Please let me know your experiences with Smoked Malts and if you think there's too much or just right. C'mon goldielocks!! James...

Does anyone have any experience they would like to share? I know Bobby_M has maybe 2 under his belt if he's out there. I've expected the obvious like keeping headspace for krausen and using a blow off. I'll top off later to kill the headspace and prepare for the full angels share over a long...

Has anyone ever tried priming with Granulated Maple Sugar? While heating the sugar to sterilize it smelled delicious and was used in a 1:1 ratio for carbonating my pumpkin beer. I'm also going to prime with it to amp up the maple flavor in my maple porter. I'll let you know how it goes:ban...

I brewed a White Chocolate beer with Ghirardelli Sweet Ground White Chocolate and want nothing more than for it to glow with a vibrant white color. Currently it's only a tan color similar to cream soda. In my head I imagine it being solid white the way a stout is solid black. Is there any...

I have a growth on an all brett C beer, but don't know what the heck it is. I've searched through photos and haven't found what I'm looking for. Nor have I found a thread where there's a compilation of brett pellicles. This is an opportunity for any brewer to find what is growing in their...

Does anyone have any experience with using Cherry Syrup? I've found very limited information on the subject, but have recently been experimenting and will give feedback as soon as the batches become drinkable. Apparently it's common in Poland to add cherry syrup to the beer while serving in...
