    Westy clone with 530 - what should I bottle with?

    for my Westy 12 clone, after lagering, I decided that I needed bottling yeast. I used 1/4 pack of US-05 hydrated then mixed in the bottling bucket. Bottles are all carb'd perfectly without ridiculous amounts of sediment...

    High Gravity BIAB Electric Brewing System

    I have 4 1/4” legs (which I bought myself) and the false bottom easily clears the element and my temp probe. But I mounted my element myself very low in the bk. Last brew I did I took the legs off and just let the false bottom rest on the element because I like to remove the fb before I go to...

    High Gravity BIAB Electric Brewing System

    I only do 5 gal batches in a 11gal bayou classic setup. I've got the 240v boilcoil, a brewhardware false bottom and whirlpool arm. I use a wilser bag. Don't see a reason to do an expensive arborfab basket. I get great efficiency recirculating with the bag. I can do pretty big grain bills in...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    I lagered mine for a month at around 35, so I added 2.5g of rehydrated US-05 to the bottling bucket along with the priming sugar. I tried one at six months and the carbonationis fine.

    Duvel clone

    +1 for using CSI’s recipe and reading the Duvel write up in BLAM. This was my most satisfying “clone” as I feel it was really close, nearly identical, in appearance, taste, and mouthfeel. Besides, I love Duvel and at $15/4-pack I cant justify buying it very often. Although I love CSI’s...

    Finishing/Aging Farmhouse Ale

    This has been my experience with saison yeast - they may seem to be done but may need some time to clean up fermentation byproducts - I think resting it at 68 for a week or so is a good idea. I am not an expert by any means but I had a farmhouse type saison that was bad bitter apple shortly...

    Finishing/Aging Farmhouse Ale

    Do a search for common off flavors in beer. Like a previous poster said, we need more info. But, what you are describing makes me think it could be acetaldehyde (bitter or green apple flavor). A little extra time in contact with active yeast frequently fixes the problem. Sometimes it will...

    the foamless finish adaptor for the the last straw

    I have used the last straw with foamless finish a couple times. I’m happy with it. I’m not getting a bunch of foam and the fill is where you want it. No need to drop pressure, bleed headspace, etc. I had a CPBF but I’m glad I moved on to this one.

    Stainless mesh basket for Bayou 1044 kettle?

    Subd. I like many have that kettle: cheap, quite adequate for 5.5 to 6 gal batches, and has the ridge for its steamer basket, so it would be great to have a mesh basket that fits right in there. But if the cost is twice that of the kettle it starts to seem like putting dubs on a civic...
