So the numbers suggested in the original post in the thread should be cut in half? Both the calcium and acid malt? I never went down the brewing water hole far, yet!

Hi folks! i bottled a pale style beer a few days ago that was fermented with 34/70 at about 59f. In the pass alot of my beer went in the kegs but this batch i bottled. I was thinking of letting it ride at about 59f in the bottles as well. It will be over 4 weeks before i will be able to test...

Just a little update: I've since made 4 batches. The first 3 were has follows; (The forth was more of a blonde ale using lallemand VOSS's, superfast!) 10# 2-row, 1# Vienna and 3oz of hallertau(1.7AA) for 60min I used krispy, lutra and 34/70 Krispy and lutra started out at 68f ambient but i...

Thanks i'm sure i will have a look sometime. I enjoy working with pumps and tubing. Could be my major project next year! For me. lol I couldn't help myself. What kind of pump is it? and the tubing looks like it has a very large ID - the clear one coming from the co2 tank. Double edit: I...

What and how much do you use to prime the keg.

Thanks guys. I've rocked and rolled many kegs :) just trying to refine my process and i spend extended times away from home so i was looking for a solution that i can quickly carbonate a beer that can be sitting in the carboy for 4+ weeks. I've have some of my best beer sitting in a carboy for...

Old thread. But does this thing work well?

I will be trying this method next batch. https://escarpmentlabs.com/blogs/resources/the-forced-diacetyl-test Its interesting.

I see. I'm going to try 7-8 grams for 5 gals. I will be adding it about 24 hours after i place the carboy in my very cold fridge. 2c or so. Have you tried biofine clear?

When did you add the gelatin? How much did you use?

Thanks. I might look into it. I have a pack of dried lutra coming as well.

In a similar vein Bräu Supply as a really nice looking unit, pricey however. Clawhammer supply as well but the basket holders look to be a 2 man job to setup. However, I've had my grainfather a longtime now, i have the one with the original controller. I made well over 100 batches in that...

Hassle is relative. :D My basement is about 62f now so it would be a hassle to ferment and carry it upstairs in room temp.

How long did you ferment for? And did you do a Diacetyl rest?

The grainfather is easy to use. They even sell a 220V now.

First i heard of it. I can get in canada, nice! I'll probably end up trying it. Thanks

Very typical final gravity. Its normally what i get on the vast majority of my beer. Modern recipes kits are leaps and bounds better then they were 10 years ago.

What temperature is it fermenting at? You can visually tell when the fermentation is done most of the time. The foam will drop out. Most ales yeasts will ferment out in 10 days easy with medium original gravity. 1.050 for example. When i was a teenager - over 20 years ago - i literally made...

I'm curious. Did you use a hydrometer? Most if not all those beer kits come with an ale yeast. Even if it does say lager. My go to site for creating recipes, sugar priming calculators etc is brewersfriend. Its free. For 5gals you want 137g for 2.5 volumes of co2

Hi Sammy, just looked over your site a little bit! What are your thoughts on the Hochkruz Mash step schedule now? I have a grainfather and never have tried a step mash before. Maybe i will next week. Especially for the escarpment krispy yeast that i have which they say on their site doesn't...
