wow is cold/hot break causing that fermenter on the right to stratify like that or is it something else?
I wondered the same thing myself. After I pitched the yeast starter this happened. It was like this for a good 8 hours before fermentation started. Now it is thoroughly mixed after fermentation became vigorous. I thought it might be the difference in gravity in the wort vs the gravity of the starter.
I thought you were making a Black and Tan.
That Evil Twin is some good stuff.Jamil's Evil Twin on the left and Indian Summer Honey Red Wheat on the right
Sadly this is the only one I currently have and it will be bottled up today. Guess I have some work to do. Heat Stroke IPA cold crashing along with its fridge mates.
why are they on buckets. please explain I am interested in this concept.
10gallons of a citra blonde base. 5 gallons got US-05, and 5 got kolsched with WLP-029. I am probably going to fruit one of them as well just to make them even more different.
Oh why aren't we buddies?My quasi hop slam clone.
This sounds so delicious. I hate to ask and sound like a ****** canoe, but is this from a kit?Well here's mine...
Currently have 10 gallons of vanilla caramel cream ale finishing up!!
You have me very worried now that my bucket will suddenly explode. I've brewed one batch and not completely without error. Now I have something else to be neurotic about.I prefer better bottles because in my experience, I've had some very vigorous fermentations and I think the bottles do a better job as focusing the krausen for expulsion into the blow-off tube.
I've never heard of a properly inserted bung being shot out of a carboy, but you hear about fermentation blowing the lid off of buckets, literally, all the time.
I looked up the brew belt and it only speaks of heating not cooling. Is this right?The first pic is my Belgian Golden Strong (Shut De Do). It has finished primary fermentation and is very, very slowly crashing out. The second is my Flanders Red, which just started primary fermentation (after about 36 hrs lag).
The final two pics show what the brew belt is getting me . . . 58°F to about 70°F. I want to build a chamber soon to nail these numbers down (I'd have loved 67°F on the dot for the Flanders).
Do you have to ensure the airlock is secure all of the time? Is this why blow off tubes seem to be favored?Zipties were my only remedy at the time since I did not have another blow off tube...that IPA blew its load all over the shower walls and ceiling...the Mrs. was nowhere as impressed as I was! :rockin:
It's a great thread. I am even more excited to expand on my brewing.I started this thread and never expected this many pics. Now I feel bad cause haven't brewed in a month. But soon very soon. Great job guys and gals
I love the name. If only we can deal with councilmen/women, religious leaders this way, and all other seated undesirables this way!Yes. I learned about it in Prague.
It means to throw someone out of a window, usually to their death, but sometimes just seriously injured. It happened a bunch in Bohemian history and was an easy way to deal with councilmen and religious leaders they didn't like.
Drool! I am in awe.Figured I'd add mine to the list. Most of the clear carboys are all in experimental sours/wilds in their primary. Kegs are all "secondary"s, which will eventually go on draft. Barrels are both full, saison and a sour. All I wish for was a little more head space, ceiling is about 4" too low.
Do either of you have a recipe for this? Sounds interesting.Peanut butter stout going crazy!
Peanut Butter Ballz stout bubbling away nicely!
Now we totally get what Sponge Bob is up to down there.HellaNutella Milk Stout's blowoff tube kicked in over night!
That is an awesome fastback. Do show more pics.American IPA. kegged right after pic was taken, now i have to brew this weekend. empty carboys are unacceptable.
What is wrapped around the carboys?Amarillo+Summit IPA and an Oatmeal stout of my own design.
Are you fermenting in home depot buckets?I don't know what happened to all the beer I had, OK I know, but this batch will be different.
This APA is 34.5lbs of two row and only a half pound of C15. Lots of hops.
After reading this thread, I feel like I am lacking.you only have one fermenter?!
That is awesome actually. It seems most first brews are just the kits. Nicely done/Here's my first brew! In the dining room!
Is the Left Hand Milk Stout a kit? How does it compare? That is one of my most favorite milk stouts I've ever had.10 gallons of Left Hand Milk Stout clone and 5 gallons of Dogfish Head 90 Minute Clone cold crashing for kegging tomorrow.

HD buckets are a great idea. I was reading about all grain brewing and I think the buckets will be ideal for storage. Thanks.That's a lot of quotes, I'm using home depot buckets as grain storage containers. I buy in group buy's twice a year. The bucket lids hold carboys like little cups and it keeps them off the floor.
Here is the thread. A lot of people say its better. 1 week into fermentation it tasted dead on. I havent cracked the keg yet.
