I have a 10 gallon SS Brewtech kettle that I am using as a HLT. I wanted to convert it to electric but I am not sure what exactly I will need. I am new to electric brewing but I have people who can help me put it together safely. I just wanted to see if anyone has converted the SS brewtech...

Did you oxygenated your wort enough?

I do want some. I've heard of excessive diacetyl if not done right

I'm brewing with wlp002 for the first time to make a holiday spice ale. I've read it can produce a lot of diacetyl. Anyone have a good fermentation schedule for this strain that includes a diacetyl rest. Also the best temperature for a moderately clean fermentation. I was thinking of starting at...

Awesome. I was looking at them but just figured you guys could give good feedback on a good location for them. Thanks alot. I'll have to post pictures when it's finished.

When I made it i used my ss mashtun with mtss for temp control. I purged the little headspace remaining with co2 and sealed with sanitized plastic wrap. After 2 days I emptied the mashtun and boiled.

I brewed a berliner weiss 2 months ago. It's attempted to do a sour mash and it smelled horrific at first which I've read might not be abnormal. The vomit or butyric acid smell has decreased tremendously but it still is there a little. Now the flavor wasn't there before but will the scent go away?

I brewed a berliner weiss 2 months ago and attempted a sour mash. I heard it supposed to stink and everything I've read speaks about an unpleasant aroma when it's done in the sour mash. The smell of vomit is subtle but it doesn't taste like it. Will the smell ever go away?

Love citra hops

I also what to see what happens when I take a very full bodied beer and add brett to see if it thins out. This is pure experimentation to see what happens.
