I'll Try it!!

Thanks, healthwise things are looking up!

Hey all, it has been a while since I have last posted; hence the e-mail that just reminded me. I have not brewed a whole lot lately due to health and finances. Money has been a little tight, but last July I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and had to really learn when and how much I could...

Should I pitch another smack-pack?

I built a huge starter and fermented at 50 and then a week ago raised the temp 68 for 3 days and then took it back down to 50 for 4 as the yeast then dropped out of suspension. The intial starter was 4 oz DME and 8 oz water, 24 hours later added the same as before. 24 hours after that I added 8...

I am just getting done with fermenting my first lager. I decided to start with a dopplebock. My O.G. was 1.097 and I just transferred after 40 days of fermentation and it is currently at 1.033. My estimated F.G. was 1.024. The question I have is do I transfer to my lagering fridge and leave it...

My buddy and I brewed on Saturday and he has a blichmann burner. The reason I see that it does not freeze up is his is a 10 psi regulator and mine is a 30. If find that I like the power that mine puts out when it is not freezing up. Doing 10 gallon batches I need the power so my brew day is not...
