    Shipping beer?

    Remember you are not shipping beer you are shipping yeast samples.

    What is the largest number of gallons you had fermenting at one time?

    I have a conical that I can add onto. Up to 50 gallons in one fermentor. I have not figured out how to do it yet but I am working on trying to figure out how to brew that much.

    What is max batch size?

    Does anyone know of more than 20 gallons out of a standard setup with converted kegs. I assume the 20 gallons is a double batch. Has anyone done more than that in a day?

    Observations & Questions from First BIAB Session

    I have had efficiency up to mid 80s. It is possible with the grin crushed just right. There are programs that will help calculate your strike temp. I use Beersmith and have an app on my phone and I hit my strike perfect each time.

    What is max batch size?

    I have been doing 5 gallon BIAB and just did a 10 gallon BAIB with a 28# grain bill. That was pushing it with not much room to spare. I want to increase my batch size and go to a mash tun. What is the largest batch size you have done and what is possible? I have a custom connical that is...

    Pellet Hops Straining

    I always use a mesh bag. It does not get it all as some of the pellet hops makes it through, but it does keep a lot in the bag.

    How many oysters? Oyster stout 5 gallon.

    I agree. I would never do it, but wanted to pass what I have heard of being done.

    Still another water report

    There is a local brewery around me and I found out they use the city water with no special filtering system. They bring water to a boil and kill the heat and then add cold water to get the right strike temp. When asked they stated that what they did worked and that was the water profile for...

    How many oysters? Oyster stout 5 gallon.

    I have heard up to 10 with shells and all. Remember that one of the reasons that this style was created was that their water was lacking calcium and the shells helped bring it up. I would check your water profile first so you do not end up with too much calcium.

    Pliny the Younger Water Profile

    I do not what water they use but I would suspect that it is filtered or unfiltered tap water. Try to go to the City of Santa Rosa web page and see if they have a city water profile. I would also call the brewery and ask they will probably tell you what kind of water they use. RRB 725 4th...

    Beers in San Francisco to try?

    +1 to the above. I live in Windsor near Healdsburg and those are all great ones to visit. But do not leave ot Anchor Steam in SF. I have not made the tour yet but I hear it is a good one.

    When too add more yeast

    What size batch did you brew? Did you only use one smack pack? Most lagers will use multiple yeast packs or need a starter to pitch the right amount of yeast. You can look up Mr. Malty and use the yeast calculator. You may have under pitched and the temps being cold for a lager it may have a...

    Describe the perfect fermentation vessel

    I have a steel conical. I would like to add some cooling and heating to it so I can brew a lager in the summer and never be too cold during the winter.
