He got me into the hobby! I've quickly moves to AG but if it weren't for that video, I would never have started!

If you ever top it for 10gal batches, just compensate with a good extract :D

Whirlfloc in the boil and gelatine while cold crashing made filtering useless to me :D

You might want to try some extract kit with hops! If you're in Canada, you might want to try the kits at ontariobeerkeg. Their prices are aright and the service is excellent! Welcome to this madness :D

The strawberries, once the sugar fermented out, don't taste like much. You might want to dose it a little with strawberry extract after.

Fermentation issue.

Been there, I get you buddy! Turns out that my problem was ****ty hops! Yup, got some batches from the same supplyer which must not have been stored properly. I've changed suppliyer and my problem went away!

I suck at multiquoting.... see my replies in the message above :P - 7th : What about your chilling regiment? Could you introduce something there? Worth uncovered? Not cooled fast anough? Chiller unsanitary? As for the soft plastic parts, I tend to replace everything each season. Are you using...

Hi there! I've got a couple of things comming to my mind reading all of the above. 1st - Your kegging system is most likely fine. Even if a part was super nasty, it'd take more than 3 days before you could taste any infection. You could drop a whole pack of Reoselare in a 5 gal of fermented...

I'm doing a no sparge BIAB on my stove top during winter. I gest consistent 76-77 efficiency by doing a 10min mashout @ 167 degress for 10 minutes. Why would I ever want to sparge or even use a mash tun!

19 is very very sweet indeed for a 55 wort. I'd go with a fresh pitch of yeast to get a couple points down. With 1 packet of rehydrated US04 you could probably shave 4-5 points out of that. IMO, this would bring your porter to an optimal FG. enjoy the beer :D

Absolutely! It is slightly less fermentable thought so you might want to up the qty a little bit. My 2c; it won't have any impact on flavour and simple sugar (dextose etc etc) will be easier for the tired yeast cells to convert. Enjoy!

It has probably more to do with the temperature at which you have fermented the beer... It should mellow a little bit in a month though.

I want to **** you like an animal. Nine Inch Nails

If she feels that way after 10 yrs together, you're probably past the "sit down and talk together". It'll fix things for a couple of months but the situation will come back. I'd go with couple counseling ASAP. I sincerely hope you two guys will find what is needed to get thing fixed.

6w ..... Well, this seems like the perfect moment to brew gallons and gallons of lager :D When the waiting period will be over, you'll feel like a kid in a candy shop !

Seems like you've just made some LME ;) Water it down, pitch and pray for the best :D

Have you tried to use carbon filtered tap water? What sanitizer du you use? How do you store your grains and hops? Maybe if you walk us through an entire brew with every step detailed, we'd be able to give you some hints. I hope your brewing gets to you taste soon :D

Infection is quite probable. If a bacteria is in there, it'll slowly eat the sugars that your yeast could not process. In the long run, this could result in too much carbonation, a beer way too dry and off flavours. If you're lucky, only a couple of bottle could be affectec from improper...

Go ahead and build your own by all means! The biggest issue is to make sure not to kink the copper tubing and from what I understand, it is very unlikely to happen to you!
