    Dry Hop = No Flavour

    So I brewed a 5g Burton Pale Ale a few weeks back. After 3weeks I dry hopped it with 0.95oz and let it sit for 7days. I then cold crashed it (no gelatin) innmy fridge for another 7days before kegging. Once it was carbed I tasted it and to my dismay, it kinda tasted of nothing, like a very...

    Temp control - out of control!

    Doh, so I brewed 15g of beer last Saturday. Wednesday night I noticed that the beer was burping along at 16c so I turned on the heat to set it to 18c. Checked it 1x or 2x and all was good. Just found the room at 26c and the beer as well. Shut off the heat. I'm guessing the heat has been...

    Im an electrical newb so I had one of our LHC members who is some kind of an engineer build me a very simple sinhle vessel biab setup. The setup uses an SYL-2342 PID, a Liquid Tight RTD Sensor, 2” Probe, Weldless Fitting, and 2x 1500w elements, all from Auberins. My problem is that I dont seem...

    Somewhat screwed up yeast starter

    So about 12 hours ago I pitched a wash of wyeast 568 with 0.5cups of dme and 2cups of water. I neglected to top up with another 2 cups of water. Can I just add more water or do I wait say 2 days, do a refractor test and basically step up?

    Bypass Temperature Control on Kenmore Wine Fridge

    So I bought a used Kenmore Wine fridge, model 461.99610. My goal was to use it for lagering. Problem is the control panel is a wreck, you can't read the numbers, also it doesn't appear to get colder than 5c. What I would like to do is somehow bypass it's internal temperature probe and use my...

    What can I brew with 8# of Pilsner malt

    Need to brew this weekend but all I have left is 8# of pilsner. I believe I have wheat malt so I was thinking a wheat beer. Any recipe ideas? I might have to go with us04 or us05 because I don't have time for a starter. Is that a bad idea?

    Want to build/buy a very simple eBIAB system

    Ok, so i use a Cajun Injector (electric Turkey fryer) to do my brews. Its only 7g so for most of my batches the wort is right at the lip when i start the boil. The electrical element is also only a 1650w so it takes forever to heat the water and then boil (yes, it can boil 7g). Here's what...

    Winter Brewing

    So I've been brewing 5/6g AG batches using a Cajun Injector since spring. I don't plan to try to use it this winter and so I was thinking of how I would brew during the winter. To this end I was thinking of using a 4g stock pot to do 3.5g batches. I believe I should be able to use a bag...
