    Anvil kettle issue?

    Anvil kettle issue?

    I just got a new Anvil 5.5 gallon kettle and after getting it home I washed it according to the instructions. Let it air dry over night to find 2 small brown spots that I thought were rust but SS shouldn't rust so is it just oxidization? After hitting it with barkeepers friend 3 times I got them...

    Yeast starter noon question

    Yeast I usually use if it is dry is us-05. Typically I'll pull a sample on the 2 week mark and test with either a hydrometer or refractometer. The crystal malt thing is interesting though. The two batches in question with that flavor were made with a good amount of c60 I'm trying to get away...

    Yeast starter noon question

    My off flavors are buttery notes and smell. I'm assuming it's diacetyl. I ferment all my beer at 60-65 degrees. I do not have a fermentation chamber. As far a knowing when it's done fermenting I usually pull a small sample.

    Yeast starter noon question

    That might explain my off flavors. I'll have to wrap the fermenters up

    Yeast starter noon question

    I usually use safale s05 but lately I've been using wyeast slap packs. I only brew all grain. My typical fermentation times are usually 14-16 days depending on style, you think maybe I'm not letting them ferment or long enough?

    Yeast starter noon question

    I've had a couple batches with a diacetyl scent and flavor, mostly ipas and pale ale. My fermentation tanks stay around 60-65

    Yeast starter noon question

    My ipas and pale ales seem to have an off flavor very strong at times. I usually use liquid yeast but I do use dry packets from time to time. Even with rehydrated yeast and the smack packs my fermentation send lack luster

    Yeast starter noon question

    I've been brewing for over a year now and never get a full solid fermentation so I want to start doing a starter. I bought a stir plate and 2000ml flask. My question is this. I'm a small batch Brewer and typically use one packet of dry yeast or one smack pack to ferment 2-3 gallon batches...

    Corny keg question

    Just got this keg for free and it is dented on the bottom as you can see in the picture. Is this still safe to use? It holds pressure perfectly.
