My OG was 1.104 and after 1 year in the secondary I decided to rack to a keg. FG came in at 1.012 so hit around 12% abv. a vanilla bean and oak chunks were added for the last 4 months in secondary. This is my 2nd year making this beer. Will brew again

I am in the middle of a fermentation chamber build and am trying to decide on which direction I should go for temperature control. I really love the idea of brewpi I just haven't decided if its the direction I should go. Is brewpi something I can setup once....and use consistently while...

Brewing this up as I post this. This will be my second time brewing this recipe and I didn't change a thing. The first batch was excellent. I found a bottle of it hidden with a bunch of other beers. It was over a year old and the profile was completely changed but still really good. This...

Thanks guys helps a ton!

Thanks for the quick replies. So set the PSI to the fridge temp and it will be fine once I remove it after a couple weeks and let it sit at room temp? the fluctuation won't over/under carb the beer when I put it back in the fridge next winter?

I like sours too. The FG is def stable. This has been in the secondary for almost 2 months now and this just started forming

So this appeared in my RIS a couple days ago and has grown to this. I realize that its an infection I am just looking to identify it and figure out if it has ruined my RIS or if it's gonna be ok to bottle. Don't mind the floating chunks, those are bourbon barrel pieces. Best picture I...

Ok I was a little nervous because when I brewed this my OG was 1.10, when I went to bottle I was sitting at 1.010 for an abv of 11.8%. Yeah I overshot it just a bit, I assume because of efficiency. Well I bottled this brew and I cracked one open after 2 and a half weeks and I was shocked to...

Thanks for all the replies!

Thanks for the info? Do you have a link to the youtube video?

I apologize if this has been posted before. I tried google and searching the forum but couldn't find anything specific. I have an russian imp stout sitting in my primary for 30 days now and im about to transfer into my secondary and let it sit for 6-8 months before I bottle. I picked up some...

My OG was measured at 1.10 and after 10 days I am reading 1.010. 11.81% abv.... whoa. Tastes delicious too!
