Compressed air prior to each crush. Blast the rollers and you are good to go. I personally would never take a wire brush to the rollers.

Go to Tonsmeire's Mad Fermentationist blog - he likely has several kick ass Gose recepies available and will freely exchange info/advice.

Yeah, look at how it destroyed Russian River when Vinny gave out the homebrew recipe to brew Pliny The Elder... What was he thinking?

I always enjoy this board and the expertise of someone who has brewed a handful of batches with certain yeasts... The bottom line is that there is not all that much of a flavor variation between the end product using 3724 and 3711. Brew a number of batches using each yeast and judge for...

First suggestion for future reference - check the archives on 3724 - everything you could possibly want to know about this yeast has been covered over the years by homebrewers and those of us who have gone pro. If you are at 1.011 or so after 4 weeks with this yeast, allow it to go for another...

My guess is that it is the Sorachii Ace. It often leaves an oily, slick mouthfeel which is my guess for what you describe. I have never used it in a wheat. Have used it frequently in a Saison. Cheers!

A simple solution that was already mentioned generally works most of the time. - open up the tank all the way and Spray every connection with Star San, spray all tank lids, posts, any place where the gas could possibly leak out - if it is leaking it will bubble, plain and simple. If this does...

You are only supposed to sell tickets on Craigslist for face value (no scalping) but I know that this does not always occur. People often list the tickets for $1 and then negotiate. Then there is Stubhub, where $75 Sat. Members Only tickets are currently going for $195.00 and the other $75...

Yep, you are correct. Denver Post said that the Member's Only tickets sold out quickly but does not state that it was within 3 minutes. The article says that the remainder of the Pre-Sale tickets sold out in under 90 minutes with the Sat. evening session the last one to sell out.

I spoke with someone at the BA regarding the problems that I encountered and he told me that the Members Only tickets sold out in less than 3 minutes and the Pre-Sale Gen. Admiss. tickets for Thu-Sat. sold out in less than 15 minutes. Crazy. I too was shut out of the system when I tried to...

Yeah, this is my concern. While I clean the equipment that I have dedicated for sours thoroughly anyways (PBW/Oxy and Star San) I have separate equipment specifically to avoid cross-contamination. Guess it only makes sense to make another beer gun - not that expensive and good insurance...

Question for those of you out there that bottle your sours. Normally I just keg the sour and then clean and sanitize the auto-siphon, tubing, fermenter, etc. I do have a specific siphon & set of tubing that I use only for sours because I don't want to risk infecting the other beers I brew. I...

Being easily obtainable (via piggybacking on a Brewcraft kit order if you have a LHBS that orders regularly from Brewcraft and being available on a regular basis as part of Wyeast's regular rotation are 2 different things. :cross:

I have been doing this for quite some time although I have only mixed within a few specific styles (i.e. PA's and IPA's and IIPA's). Have had some really nice results/surprises and will continue to experiment.

I ended up pitching a pack of this into a batch that I started with 3724 that stalled at 1.050 (OG was 1.098). Normally 3711 is my go-to when 3724 occasionally acts stupid and stalls but I had this on hand so decided to give it a try. It will be interesting to see how it compares to 3711.

Yep, it has been off the PC list since the 1st qtr of 2010 - didn't realize this because it has been available on a regular basis at the LHBS so I had just assumed that they were releasing it as a PC now and then. The majority of people who homebrew in these parts still use extract kits so...

I did not have a positive experience with it. Was a bit apprehensive about a yeast that bills itself as both an ale and lager yeast. Used it in an ale recipe and it did not attenuate well at all. The beer is still sitting in a keg in a corner - I have an aversion to throwing out any beer and...

I use a 7.8 amp DeWalt on a 3 roller Crankenstein which is what I recall the manufacturer recommended. It is hot after milling a batch of grain (I mill very slowly with a lot of torque).

I have had a chance to use Mosaic in a few different brews with different hop and yeast combinations and I am finding that it works very well in combination with many other high alpha hops. Paired it with some Aussie/NZ high alpha hops (Galaxy, etc.) and a neutral yeast and it turned out great...
