I think this only came out this month and I had one at a joint in Baltimore the other day and absolutely loved it. I have for years felt the only good Hoppy Wheat on earth was FFF's Gumballhead, and I have also felt the perfect example of a Wit with some hop backbone and saisony spice/taste was...
It is a full ticket, including all seminars AND the big banquet. Issues involving SWMBO necessitate this action. PM me or text me 443-827-1156.
The event is in Philly, 6/27-29, in case you did not already know.
I have a National Homebrewer's conference ticket for sale for Friday and Saturday (including all seminars AND the big banquet). I paid $250, will transfer my registration to you for $200. PM me or text me. 443-827-1156.
What I have decided here is to use my serving fridge as my lagering fridge. On second thought it's an old piece of **** and I guess I haven't really tested it's ability to keep the temperature within a few degrees. Is this precision as much an issue at lower temps as it is with Ale yeasts at...
I only have room for 2 buckets in my chamber. Those of you with similar chambers, how long do you primary inside of the chamber (ale yeast, for argument's sake)? Does anyone take them out after x amount of days? Does it depend on the yeast? The beer?
I'm at a loss right now, I don't...
You aren't looking hard enough. There are dozens of threads on HBT about the STC-1000, just search I'm too lazy at the moment to link any. I bought one and wired it up, way more frugal and fun than buying a Johnson or other.
Thank you for the good info!
How long, after you reach your desired gravity and rack/crash/rack, do you usually let it clear or make sure ferment doesn't restart prior to bottling or kegging? And how do you know? Do you just go by sight/clearing or bubbles or do you take a reading every day...
Kevin...did I buy a few kegs off you through C-list like 2 years ago, at a gas station in C-ville? I had driven down from Baltimore for meetings...the guy said he made hard cider for a living...
Anyway, I got a few pages in and love this thread but I wonder if you could make my life easier and...
It didn't ferment for a month, persay, but it stayed in primary for a month.
You are right about the bubble thing, however I've brewed maybe 30 beers, and I've never had one not bubble away for a few days, and the only real change to my process is the chamber, so I'm just wondering if that...
I, being a cragslist ninja, acquired a nice 7 cu ft chest freezer for free a few weeks ago. So I got a STC1000, project box, and power cord and went to work, and now I've taken one of the real big boy steps in brewing to really being able to dial in my fermentation temperature control.
It...
I'm going to just use a regular pot to boil and use the flask for the stir plate.
So what you are saying is a 1 L starter is made with approximately 1 L of wort. However if I were to cold crash and decant the starter wort...that 100 ml or whatever of slurry is equivalent to 1 L of wort?
When people say "1L starter" what the hell are they talking about? I have a stir plate and a 1Lflask. I wish I had a bigger flask but I don't.
When I read "how to make a starter" threads or the Wiki I feel like I have always been told to use 2 cups of water with 1/2 a cup of DME. That's...
I want to make a pale ale base, just 2 row, some munich I think. I'm not sure if 3 oz is enough so I'm wondering what others might use as a 'neutral' kind of bittering hop so I can use the Rakaw as a late addition and dry hop.
Thoughts? Also on the grain bill? I'm kind of looking for a...
I have been thinking about it for a month or two, and when I get around to buying a couple weldless bulkheads/dip tubes and 3 SS ball valves this is my plan:
I have 2 turkey fryer burners and a rectangular cooler MT. I'm going to put a burner and the HLT on a picnic table, pump to the MT...
