I'm with helter on this one. Immersion is plenty effective for me, and I have some of the hottest tap water in the country here in the desert between Arizona and San Diego. We will often have tap water over 90° and then we have to use an immersion prechiller in a bucket of 16 or 20# of ice to...

Its an 11 gallon batch.

I used the calculator here: http://www.brewersfriend.com/yeast-pitch-rate-and-starter-calculator/ and used the 1 million cells/ml/°Plato since it was s high gravity beer. 5 of my packets were fresh, the 4 remaining were expired in late 2015, but had been refrigerated the whole time...

Ya, I had 2.5 lbs roasted barley (500 °L) and 2.5lbs black malt with 32lbs of 2 row and a few lbs of amber DME. A pretty light dose of hops too - 3 oz of warrior.

One last idea, though. I have some SafAle-05 and even some Montrachet wine yeast. Would either drop the gravity down a bit without taking it too far?

I'm taking the advice given here. Cold crashing now and will keg half of it Sunday and the rest will be "coconutted" in the conical for 3 days and will come out with a delicious oil slick of coconut from the 1.25 lb/gal ��

Looking at an attenuation calc, I should have ended up around 1.027 but, after correcting for temp, I'm at 1.031 and about .5% short on ABV. After posting I saw more on amylase enzymes and was wondering about using some. Been out of brewing for a year or two n feeling a bit rusty.

Brewed a big fat stout that came in at 1.105 SG - all 10 gallons. I pitched a whopping 9 packets of rehydrated Safale 04, oxygenated, and the fermentation went off like a shot. We tasted the beer a week after and it was delicious. I took a gravity reading today, 5 days later, and it was only...

Check out my thread here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=492652 You will find some helpful info regarding sanitation, ratios of coconut/gal etc. it's really giving me a hankering to brew it again!

Anyone else want to give any feedback after trying this coconutterrific method? Getting ready to add some coconut to a growler of W00tSt0ut from Stone to share on Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻

The polyurea wasn't hard to put in at all. Two coats with a long knap roller. The off gas was pretty bad and we had to sleep at my parents house even though we did the work in one room that was closed off by a door with no gaps. I have a ton of windows in my room that give direct sunlight...

That's right. One left!

Yessir. Please note that I listed very minor blemishes so that anyone interested would know exactly what they were getting.

Negative, sir. But I will bump to $140 each shipped.

Reviving this thread! I have two of these CO2 dispensers now. $160 shipped to the contiguous USA.

I havent had time to brew in the past few months, so serving homebrew at a party we are hosting this weekend is not an option. So, I thought I would put my keezer and homemade draught tower to work and serve something bubbly but with vodka. Anyone have any favorite drink recipes that could...

Title pretty much says it all, but for the uninitiated, LTS is a fancy way of saying that a person's tongue has been so blasted by hops that they don't get the same flavor induced euphoria. Basically, we hopheads are kind of like heroine addicts, subject to the same Law of Diminishing Returns...
