I like to take kegs of my home brew to family for the holidays!m, a growler just isn’t enough!

What in particular about your climate or location did you find that was contrary to the growing of hops? IMHO they’re pretty adaptable and resilient plants, weeds really. Now quality and volume of production may not be at peak for your specific area, but growing the plants shouldn’t be...

Link? I’ve not heard of it, or seen it at any of my normal suppliers …

Seems to me like every small brewery that has any food service I have been to has spent grain bread items on the menu, flatbreads for pizza, sandwiches, etc. well as mentions on the menu or website of their cooperation with a (or several) local farmer(s) that they supply it to as feed; usually...

Agreed-more like a Banana-weizen or some other clever name... Though that’s not to say it wouldn’t be very tasty to those who appreciate that particular character. I appreciate the clove character but I prefer banana forward Hefe’s-I just might take Omega’s advice as noted by Funky Frank above...

They may still be using good yeast and just making a recipe or hopping it such that you do not like it. If they’re the only close option it may be worth a shot to check and ask what yeast they use and see if they would source some or give/sell you some of theirs.

Indeed, please do confirm OP 9-0-0 liters?!?!

I do commend those with the ingenuity and fabrication skill to accomplish this-however I need to just ask one question to those who deem it necessary... What is wrong with just filling the hopper 2(or more times) and just grinding in batches? If one cannot carry everything necessary from point...

It only serves to help mitigate the risk that it does, kind of a mechanical insurance to help. It also serves to assist in making that wort infiltration more even-with the flow out of a hose, there is a chance the direction of your flow that it’s possible that portion downstream (the direction...

In addition to flow the perforated disk helps to avoid channeling of the recirculated wort thru the grain bed. The diffusion of the pumped wort thru the holes means a slow, steady even soaking of the grains instead of a directed laminar flow that could be less efficient for conversion.

The schmutz could be hard water precipitate as well-that should be still soft when wet right after a boil.

More important question is what you are cleaning with?? Household dish cleaning agents have surfactants in them to eliminate foaming and help rinse and dry clean and spot free. If you are using one even with rinsing multiple times it can inhibit the head into your pour. try using a dedicated...

Brewing Deadites? I need to call Ashy Slashy
