Get a couple of oz. of any noble hop and you could make a Dunkle

Is your housing metal? If so, try plastic.

Thanks

OK, so in effect the only way to control fridge temp is to control the air flow via fan and size of damper hole?

Just got a GE side by side fridge and want to use the fridge for ferm chamber and the freezer for a kegerator. Will a plug and play controller work with 2 probes to control both sides independantly, and would the defrost function cause a problem since the power is being cut to the fridge when...

I have an APA that is in pri. for 1-1/2 weeks. I used citra for bittering and 29g bramling @15 min. for flavor, also used wlp005 yeast. This is the first time I have used bramling so I cant tell you much yet, but I will let you know what I think in a couple weeks.

I have a strong wit that is 12 days and took gs last night and it still has a thick krausen also. The OG was 1.072 and the sample I took last night was 1.010 and tasted great. If that is the yeast on top, could I crop the yeast and if so, what is the best way?

Just took gravity sample and is down to 1.010-wow-and there is still an inch of krausen on top. It was only suppose to get to1.018, so how low will it go? BTW it tastes great, I want to bottle now or drink straight from the bucket!

Thanks. I just wasnt sure if it would need a lot more time due to og being higher than normal. I went high just in case my eff. wasnt very good, but ended up with close to 80%

I wasnt even going to open up the bucket until 3 weeks-since it's only been in for a week I dont know. Should be fg of 1.018 or so according to recipe software. Forgot to mention 1.5 oz Styrian gold hops and 1 oz Saaz

New to brewing and decided to go all grain on 3rd batch. So I made a recipe for a strong wit and used wlp400 yeast with a starter, and brewed it last weekend. Its been sitting in pri. bubbling away all week and I was wondering if it needed more than 4 weeks in pri. before bottling. It started...

First time posting, I started brewing extract kits on Jan. 1, and thanks to you guys the first tb brown ale kit is very drinkable now. My 2nd kit was a bb kolsch, that I bottled last week and not so sure about but will wait & see. I wasnt crazy about the kit process, mac & cheese box brewing so...
