So I have a 1.086 DIPA pitched on 1/1/2012. I racked it to secondary on 1/19 and dry hopped it tonight with 1 oz. Amarillo and 1 oz. Simcoe. Minutes after dumping the hops in the beer started going crazy. The hop particles and even whole pellets were flying around in the beer like a full-on...

Just seven hours after racking:

I have little white floaties in one half of my 10 gallon batch of American Pale Wheat Ale. These don't look like off-white yeast "rafts". They are pure white with greyish centers. I think this batch is f**ked. What pisses me off is that this batch was in "Better" bottles in my basement. You...

So I harvested some yeast from my carboy, using co2 to rack, and put it into a 1 gallon glass jug and added some distilled water to try to wash it. After allowing it to settle for a while, this is what I've got: Its hard for me to see where the yeast has separated from the trub. Can I...

I repurposed my immersion chiller and coiled it around my banjo burner. Usin a tub and water pump I recirc water through it. Worked like a charm.

Hello all! I've been lurking these boards for a good while now, and this is my first post. Anyways... I have a cider that won't seem to stop fermenting, and I'm curious of two things. 1.) Why, and 2.) What can I do to speed it along? The cider is 5.5 gallons of locally pressed...
