Ok so what are your thoughts on what I should do? Maybe start cold crashing on day 7 of dry hoping and keging the next day. No matter what the beer will be drinkable...I hope...what would be my best plan of action.

No beer smith said primary for 4 days and secondary for 10. It's easy for me to secondary so I can have the beer not sitting on the yeast cake. All I have to do is turn a 1/4 turn ball valve on the conical and out comes the yeast cake. So my thought was to dry hop for the 10 days then put it in...

Ok thanks for the input. The only reason I did it after 4 days is beer smith said to secondary after four days and then leave in secondary for 10 days. I just figured secondary meant dry hop. Any thoughts on glelitain add in. I do have the ability to cold crash. My chamber is a full size...

Is that to soon? What's is the norm? I was able to grab the foil hop bag and pull it out the hopes stayed in. If that's to soon for dry hoping what will happen? And again what are the odds of in fiction happening?

So I am all excited because I just moved from buckets to the mini brew conical, today was day 4 of fermenting so instead of transferring to another bucket I pulled the lever and out cam the yeast cake. Wow that was easy! I go to dry hop I flip the 2oz bag of hops upside down and the bag slips...

Anyone have a clone for BNS revolver IPA one of the best I have ever had. I am also looking for Karl's Strauss aurora hoppyalis clone. Can any one help?

What would it do to the beer if I added a cream ale yeast instead?

Anybody?

Does any one have any good ideas for wall mount drip trays? I saw one here a few months ago someone did motorcycle headlights but I can't find it. Thanks

Will it work? Will it work good I found one one Craigslist for 150? Or should I keep looking for an upright freezer? Thanks for the input

So my wife is tired of the beer fermenting in the spare bathtub so I was thinking what I should do and I thought I would get input from all of you.what is your opinion on Chest freezer, build my own, upright freezer or a upright fridge with no freezer? I am leaning toward an upright freezer...

so I am stuck at 1.26 it started at 1.58 so that makes my 8% beer like 4.5% so I think I screwed up some where. Is there any way to get my gravity to go down further. It is a kit Russian imperial stout so having it 4.5% is kinda a sin. Is there a way to increase the ABV? Why did it stop...

thanks for all the help

Ok so I am looking at all the home bulit fermentation chambers and they look great. But buying a chest freezer looks a lot eaiser. So my question is how many 6 gal carbouys will fit in lets say a 7 cu ft chest freezer (sams club). Do you need a collar for the freezer for it to fit the carbouys...

So I put my brown ale into secondary after 3 weeks in primary (vacation caused the long primary) so my question is how long until I can cold crash this beer? how long should I cold crash for until I keg it? Thanks for the help. This will be my first time cold crashing.
