When I get food trucks or semi trailers that haul food, wd40 is a no go. We use a silicone spray on them when fixing anything that might come in to contact with food. From what i have learned. (older and wiser brewers can input more) I use silicone spray, then clean with dawn dish soap. Then...

I stuck my used kegs when i got them upside down in almost boiling water with some oxyclean for 45 minutes each. It helped me alot getting them apart. Once they cooled down everything came apart easier.

4 -5 gallon batches and 2 - 2.5? (mr beer kits) and does the beer I just tossed in the keg count? Not bad for my first year brewing. edit I read it again 30 gallons (some of it went down the drains) 12,936 for the running total

do you do custom bags with loops? I am thinking 8 loops to raise the bag and sparge easier. So it stays open

Actually I finished the garden project. And then realized. Wow I got a lot more than I needed.

So I got into homebrewing this year... I tend to dabble in electronics... just a bit. Saw the threads on home automation. Love a few of them, dont have parts for others. You know it happens So I dumped out some extra parts: left overs from my garden automation stuff, I...

i was told buy it and think this is the only batch you are getting out of it. That being said. I have no clue as i did not buy it

Bought 4 gallons, pitched some sugar and yeast. Kid was reading the bottle and asked what sorbate was. #$^$!#$% didn't read the label. It is bubbling now. got lucky

hey can you pm me on the arduino setup, I would like to know more on it. Doing my own but don't want to remake the wheel on it.

sf-05 washed and washed right. 5th gen of it. It pop the top of the jug i had it in. I figure, if anything I can take care of yeast. Temp has been 64-68 max, north country weather, my control system has yet to kick in. (big arduino fan)

sorry post boil gravity, hence why i ask here. I mess up the terms.

maybe I mis-measured and over pitched?

just checked it, its sealed. with some krausen, the high mark is about 2" higher than it is now. Give it an extra week (5 instead of 4)?

my starter was almost 1L for a double ipa. Here is the recipe: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6351/doubleIPA.pdf\ my final gravity was 1.070 so I was a bit under. I am learning still. But it only bubbled in the air lock for about 24-30 hours. It started in the...
