Selling all my brewing stuff after 1 use. I thought I would have time to get back into my hobby but not entirely the case. So up for grabs are the following: Grainfather G30 110V all in one system with all necessary attachments to include the counter flow chiller. Works amazing andonly used...

Question regarding bottle conditioning as I haven’t done it in over 2 years. I have my experimental Dunkel ale that I bottled Monday and decided to check the process and so far carbonation looks like it’s going well no volcanos and such. However I noticed a small sulfur taste to is. Everything...

I made multiple batches and none did. I didn’t smell it though

Just bought this one 3 weeks ago so idk

Last night during bottling I had my caps sitting in a small plastic bowl with sanitizer and my wife mentioned a weird smell described it as rotten eggs. Mind you this was 3/4 of the way through the bottling. The beer smelled fine and looked fine but does star San interact weird with some plastics?

I will tomorrow didn’t have time to dig kids stuff out of one tonight

So little update on this adventure. Bottled the beer today, I know lame who still bottles lol. The color is a tad darker than I expected it to be. The aroma is good a little sweet. Taste well warm and mixed with the priming sugar was hard to get a good taste but nothing harsh or off. So now to...

sorry it will be around 66-68

So drawing up a belgian blond with 11# pils, 0.5# aromatic and 2# candi sugar clear. East kent goldings 1oz at 60 min and 1 oz at 10 min. Yeast is lellamand abbye ale 2 packets. Mash at 150 with a mash out at 167. 60 min boil. System is the Grainfather G30 110v

so I have yet to have any temp control for fermentation. Best I was able to do is hope and pray the house didn’t get warm.

If you had to choose between starting to can beers or having a glycol chiller for temp control which would you pick and why? I am looking at getting either the brewbuilt glycol chiller or the cannular top can seamer. Any advice would be great.
