Definitely not. I am from Brazil and, as far as I am concerned, braumeister is not available here. Maybe the guys from mybeer have some worries (and maybe that's why they don't market the product so much), but if there isn't any damage to speidel, they won't have any issues. CJ, please let me...

I've talked to these guys. They seem to be good people, and the product looks really nice. The 50/100l costs R$ 30k (around U$ 12k), and the other two (15/30 and 30/60) are half of that. They do have an issue with marketing. It is kind of a family business where the father and the older son...

Bobbrews, Thanks! I'll do that!

Bobbrews, when you mention that the alkalinity should be as low as possible, how low to you mean? I say that because I have a pretty soft and flat water (most salts lower than 1 ppm, except HCO3 which is 3 ppm) and I can keep alkalinity (following the "brewing water calculator" from...

I guess I won't dry hop outside anymore. Even if the taste isn't bad (which I will check tomorrow and let you guys know), I think the aroma was kinda ruined by this little accident. Either way, thank you very much for the help! Cheers

I haven't tried it yet - I just sipped a little, but there was a lot of pellets mixed in the sample so I couldn't tell if there was something wrong. I put the keg in the freezer to cold crash and try to clear it up and will see tomorrow if it's drinkable. So let me get this right... you guys...

Same primary but I can't say which one was racked first. Do you believe the difference between FG's came from the amount of yeast that eventually went to the exploded corny?

They were supposed to be sanitized. Looking back, I might have used an old batch of star san, so it may have lost its effectiveness. One thing I didn't mention was that the bag in which the dry hops were settled in the second keg (the one that exploded) were opened during the new...

Dear Fellas, I've brewed a 10 gallon batch of a session IPA (1.051 OG) about three weeks ago and a really weird thing happened and I am hoping you could help me. Fermentation went fine (i've pitched 3 packs of US05) for a couple of weeks, starting at 62º - for like 4 days - and then raising...

Scott, you are definetely taking clone beers to the next level. You have probably nailed the recipe of one of the most mythical beer in the planet. That is pretty awesome and I hope I can try to brew it here in Brazil (I'm still waiting for my hop extract and amarillo to get through our...
