Hi Guys We are doing a brew next week and have a plan to get wort from the kettle to the fermenter via a plate chiller. We have no pump, and plan to put hot wort into a corney keg, then pressurise it slightly with co2 to push the wort through the chiller and into the conical fermenter. Does...

Hi Guys I want to use this little pump to pump my wort directly from my kettle to fermenter, via a plate chiller. This pump will sit on the hot side of the chiller before it passes through. My questions are: 1. Will this pump airate the wort (hot side airation) to much before it goes through...

My chiller does not fit in the boil kettle, so I chill in the fermemter.

Hi all. Today I brewed an APA and used my copper wort chiller as normal. I let it soak in idophor for about and hour before using it. After using it and removing it from the wort I noticed black stuff on it that I could wipe off. It had a sort of copper penny smell. I hope this had not...

Thanks for the tip. Definitely keep that in mind.

Wow, you must have done a lot of batches! I try keep it simple. For example i ferment in the primary, cold crash in the primary, then straight to bottling bucket for bottling.

No just regular dish washing powder.

Hi I bottled my pilsner last night, and after i went to sleep it occurred to me that many of those bottles went through the dishwasher over the last few weeks with detergent and other dishes. My process for bottling day is to get a big bucket if idophor solution, and soak all bottles in it...

Yes after cold crashing i will bottle then let the bottles sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 weeks. So i think i will dry hop a couple of days before cold crashing.

Hi all So i did my "IPA" yesterday and seem to go according to plan. My hop addtions were: 25g Southern Passion at 60min 25g Cascade at 15 min 15g Southern Passion at 10min 15g Azaaca at 3 min 30g Azaaca at 1 min But now i want to put a dry hop addition of 30g Azaaca. When would be the best...

Thanks for the advice. I am new to this. �� I have changed the hops a bit. I am replacing the simcoe with 15g cascade at 3 minutes, and 30g azacca at flameout.

So does 34 liters of water sound like enough to to get a 20 liter batch.
