I’ll experiment with that next time! Thanks for sharing

I’m not too sure. The one I shaved down a bit with my utility razor is dead silen and has been mixing well for a couple hours now. I had a bag of these things and figure I try the “free” route before driving 2.5 hours to a home brew shop. The bars in the picture are 1 inch. Could be operator...

Thanks! This worked for me. I love that. I can always count on the library and database of HBT when I’m in a pinch. This post is almost 10’years old. That clicking was driving me nuts.!😣

How you making your pils?

I’ve done this same technique as well when fermenting in a keg. It’s pretty cheap also. Plus with you have the all rounder you can see where the bag is when you are trying to transfer to the keg. I had issues with my floating dip tube getting in the way of the bag in my keg but other than that...

Thanks for the heads up. The open fermentation is something I wanted to toy with and have read several people on here mention that It aids in enhanced esters and banana flavor and aroma. It’s my understanding also that there are the breweries in Germany that brew Hefeweizen this way also and is...

Yes I want that banana and clove flavor that I know and love. My last Hefeweizen I made was pretty bad. It had a deli meat flavor to it that kinda went away over time but no clove or banana flavor. Used the Munich classic yeast. I think autolysis is to blame after reading palmers book. Idk but...

Sounds terrible dude. I’m frustrated for you.

Yeah I noticed that bag was really hard to clean compared to the Wilser bag my old system. I also can’t fit the lid with the wholes on for recirculating. I have to fold the bag in on it self and the out the lid with the whole on it. In this hobby we spend money it’s what we do within reason of...

Yeah I watched his video and and it was his video that made me wonder if I was gonna scorch my stuff or not. What was the goo stuff?

I’m doin g 50/50 wheat and Pilsner malt. I have been using the brew bag that came with my second hand purchase and have been crushing my grain twice at local HB shop. I’m going to try using the malt pipe alone this time and crushing once. The bag is cool but I don’t want to clean it if I don’t...

I’m wanting to attempt my second Hefeweizen and deciding to do 2 new things 1. Step mash 2. Open fermentation With regards to the step mash has anyone experienced scorching issues with this process? I was wanting to use the element to achieve temps. Also I’m looking into getting a claw...

There’s no going back now buddy. Enjoy.

I started this thread months ago and wanted to come back and say that I’m now the owner and user of an Anvil 10.5 boil kettle with control head. It’s been so nice using this thing with all the features. Especially the delay timer. I did 2 SMaSH beers (2 row experimenting with lemon drop and...
