WOrking on a weizenbock recipe and plan to do a step mash/single decoction a la Gordon Strong's book's weizen mash schedule. Lots of recipes have small amounts of special B and melanoidin which appear to be used to replace decoction, however no one actually says this. Is this true? Also, BJCP...

I cannot get the results of both question with one poll.

I am trying to find a temp to ferment US 05 below which blowoff becomes less likely. Please fill out the poll only if you have good control of fermentation temperature, meaning your thermostat probe is inside the fermentor or taped and insulated on the outside and you have active cooling. I...

In their book "Yeast," White and Zainasheff recommend raising the temperature 4-10 degrees at the end of fermentation. I cannot find any research to back up this recommendation. Does anyone know where this came from? I have an IPA (OG 1.074) that is on day 15 fermenting with wlpoo1. It has...

As he said, easier and quicker to clean since I can reach my arm in and scrub the corny directly. Also, I can fit 2 cornys in my chest freezer but only one carboy/bucket, so I can ferment 9 gallons with cornys vs 6 gal with a carboy/bucket. Also easier to take a gravity sample than a carboy...

The fermentation does take a little longer and doesn't seem as vigorous. I think i am underpitching, despite a 3-4 liter starter. I am not sure of the storage question.

Thanks. There are other possibilities, mostly starter related, that are probably to blame.

I converted recently to using cornys to ferment and have noticed fermentations seem to take longer than with carboys. I was wondering whether it could be because of the reduced surface area to volume. I have searched high and low for some research on this to no avail. Does anyone have...

I have searched up and down the forums and can't find the answer to my question. My brew rig takes a long time to get water/wort to temp. I have a low pressure Marshall Gas 150 propane regulator www.squibbtaylor.com/brochures/marshallgascatalog.pdf, a 6 inch (hurricane like) burner, under...
