Thoughts and prayers for Lupulin, who has Trubisky on the bench.

I'm in again.

3722 + 5 gal. Richland Rum Raisin Porter + 5 gal. NEIPA + 5 gal. Grapefruit IPA --------- 3737

The temp goes up when I remove the probe and rub it between my hands. Put it back in the thermowell and it only drops to 73. I will reach out to inkbird. Thanks.

I brewed last night for the first time in a while. We've been in the middle of a move and settling in, so I was happy to get to brewing. In an effort to conserve a little water, once I chilled the wort to about 95 F, I moved it to my fermentation freezer like I usually do. Usually I get it down...

I have a California Common going. Cold crashed and added gelatin last night. Got home this afternoon and peeked in my fermentation chamber... My carboy is frozen solid. The inkbird was set at 36, but it never shut off. I'm warming it up and will go ahead and keg it to see how bad it is. Anyone...

5.5 of California Common -- moving to corny tonight to lager for a few weeks.

+ 6 gallons Uncommon California Common = 7601

If you have a waiting list for new members as others fall off, please add me.

First time kegging this - second time brewing it. Worth a trip to the shed in a downpour for a pull off the tap.

6150 + 5 gal. Slim's Lemon Lime Hefe + 5 gal. Duchess de Bourgone clone 6160

I'm using Omega Yeast Labs Lactobacillus Blend. I found more places that called for the boil than didn't, so I did a quick boil last night. It added a little bit of time to my brew night, but it gave me an opportunity to drink another beer.

I'm kettle souring for the first time. Some places call for a 5 minute boil after the mash and before adding lacto. Some don't. Then I will watch the pH and do the 60 minute boil with hop additions after it reaches my desired pH. What's the common, preferred practice on the pre-lacto boil?
