    Confession Time

    Don't make starters? Poor sanitation practices? What do you have to "confess"? I'll start. I've never used a blowoff tube. I oxygenate with pure O2, pitch adequate starters, and ferment at the lower end of the optimal temp range. Never found a need for one.

    Ferment in BK?

    I currently use a converted 1/2 barrel as my BK. I have another converted 1/2 barrel I use as a fermenter for 10 gallon batches. On my last brew day a light bulb went on in my head as I transferred from the BK to the fermenter. Why am I doing this? Just another barrel to clean, and 15...

    FT: Nearly new 3 Gallon Ball Lock Keg

    I have this keg that I am looking to trade. I got it in a trade for a few pin lock kegs that I needed to get rid of as all of my other stuff is setup for ball lock. Not sure exactly what I am looking for. Biggest needs/wants at the moment are an oxygenation system (not an aquarium pump)...

    Cheap, easy, flexible 2-tier setup

    Just wanted to share the 2-tier setup I built. Its flexibility allows you to be able to use a cooler as the mash tun or HLT, and a keggle as the other. Or keggles for both. I know, I could have just built one stand 3' tall and the other 6' tall, but I didn't want to have to climb up and down...

    Time to pitch new yeast?

    Brewed a 10G batch of a cream ale yesterday, OG 1.045. Split the batch between 2 fermenters. Pitched US-05 into both, both were rehydrated with 100* water. 26 hours later and no signs of any yeast activity. Using carboys so I can see inside, no activity at all. Both were from the same...

    Fermentation chamber temp offset?

    Just set up a fermentation chamber, have a question on what temp to set it at. Let's say I want to shoot for a fermentation temp of 64 degrees. I assume that I will need to set the chamber temp lower to account for the natural rise in wort/beer temp due to yeast activity. Would I set the...

    Made a starter, then brew date postponed...

    Made a starter last Thursday with the intent to brew on Sunday....brewing partner had some family stuff come up and we had to postpone. Starter has been in the fridge since Friday evening. We won't be able to brew for a few weeks now. Will my yeast make it that long? Can I just decant and...

    Bringing a cold keg to room temp and using a jockey box

    Hey everybody. I was looking for a solution to bring my kegs to the lake and decided to build a jockey box. Used 50' of 3/8" SS coil. Finished it up last night and tested it today. I have two kegs, a wheat and a saison, which were in my converted kegerator at 40 degrees and 13PSI for...

    Adding bourbon/oak to a carbed keg?

    Has anybody done this? Have this Dirty Bastard clone in the fermenter right now. Was thinking that if I am not "Wowed" by the results I would soak some oak cubes in Maker's mark and toss them in to make it into a Backwoods Bastard clone. Thoughts?

    First kegged batch - tastes like banana after a week - why?

    Brewed an English Brown that was fermented with White Labs British Ale WLP005 two months ago. Had it in the primary for a month and then to a carboy for another month. Kegged it 3 weeks ago, set it to 12psi and let it sit for a week. My brew buddy and I hooked up the beer line and...

    Pitch today or pitch tomorrow?

    Brewing AHS's Hopdunk today, will have a 1.100 OG. Using White Labs California Ale yeast, made a 1L starter last Thursday and stepped it up to 2L on Saturday. Put it in the fridge last night so the yeast would settle. There is a nice layer of yeast on the bottom of the flask this morning, but...

    Do you boil your yeast starter in the flask?

    I have a 2L Erlenmeyer from Midwest Supplies. Currently I am boiling my starter wort in a sauce pan, then pour it into the flask using a sanitized funnel. I have a gas stove and would like to cut out the sauce pan and funnel if possible, but I am hesitant to start boiling wort in the flask...
