I haven't used a brush in years. A gallon of HOT water and a lot of oxi-clean. soaked for 10+ mins or longer and all the gunk will be lifted. I normally swish it all around every 5 mins or so. Then pour it out and rinse. Spray it out well then star san

Never. I clean the crap out of the bucket before... similar to what you posted. Idk

Thx. Haven't tasted yet... I'm thinking it's something to do with dry yeast rehydration process. I'm so done with that. From now on I'm just pitching directly dry. Gonna toss the bucket as well.

Can you guys help me out? I've never seen this on top in 10 years brewing. It's a Munich Helles. 4 weeks after fermentation started. We to check gravity but my hydrometer is cracked in half 😢 Yeast 34/70 It smells good. It's for my Dad who's 80yo. I kegged it last night.

I bet 90% of people can't tell the difference between Pils and Pale malt in an IPA

My Brewzilla has been a freakin workhorse. Been over 3 years 200+ batches and still going strong. It's the 1st gen version too. I'm sure the new ones are even better. Piece of cake BIAB style (with no bag)

If anything, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is OVERrated. Not sure how it's underrated when you can find it pretty much everywhere

Anyone know a place that does free shipping? Delta brewing used to... but finally stopped. I thought ity was crazy they would ship 200lbs of grain for free. Now it's a 2.5 hour drive to buy "local"

I messed up and filled the wrong keg. The keg i filled was sprayed out with water. I smelled it (empty) and it smelled hoppy (from the last batch). It had been sitting probably 4 weeks empty. I filled with star san and purged it before kegging. I know star san isn't a cleaner...... anyways i...

OK thanks. So it's mostly a clarity issue? If so i'm not really worried.

I read a lot of people transfer their beer to a new keg to rid of sediment. Is this a must? I cold crash my IPAs and my closed transfer are pretty clean (from the fermenter).

I have been wondering this too. I am probably around the same (125) brew days. But it's still riding strong.

Same. For years I thought liquid yeast was the big reason my beers tasted great (good fermentation). Nope. I've been using dry yeast the past 2 years and haven't looked back. So much easier as well. Especially if you're a new brewer. Dry Voss Kveik should be recommended for all Newbie starter...

It's 2023 and people are still adding this crap to their instructions?

Hi. I brewed a Helles a few weeks back for my 80yo Dad. He loves the previous batches. I was aiming for 1.049 OG but ended up 1.061 Looking like 1.011 FG Any ideas on diluting it? Or should i just tell him to add a little water to the glass before pouring from the keg 😆 (kind of serious) I...
