I am wondering if there is wheat mixed in with some barley. I know that the barely that I have grown is almost impossible to de-hull. Where as, wheat come out of its hull rather easily.
I agree with bracconiere, in that 8 hour soaks are way to long. Attached are notes that I have used for...
I am also a loyal patron of Windsor. I go out of my way to avoid the other LHBS farther south and drive further to go to Windsor. I recently had about 20 pounds of home grown and home malted grains that they happily milled for me at no charge. The other LHBS farther south, charges for milling...
Thanks. That got me going in the right direction.
I contacted Adventures in Brewing to see if they sold the adapter by itself. Sure enough, they do. It is part number 40-1884 (Welcome to Adventures in Homebrewing - What is your Adventure?). This will connect to a faucet on one side and a 1/4"...
Question: How do you plumb, preferable all stainless steel, from a sanke D coupler to a faucet, without using a shank?
Background: I ferment in a half barrel sanke keg and want to move to having the ability to do pressure fermentations. With a sanke spear and coupler installed, I can connect a...
If it is a yeast raft that is holding trapped CO2 as Vale71 suggests, how about shaking the fermentor attempting to dislodge the floating yeast from the trapped CO2 bubbles and then doing a cold crash to help expedite the yeast settling process?
Interesting topic.

Matt, that looks fairly old and pretty well used. I don't need the hoses or the ball lock couplers. Can you do any better on the price? I don't have much of a budget to work with, sorry.
That’s a very interesting product. I thought that your could use the Bluetooth token protocol to transmit temperature. Token packets are smaller than regular Bluetooth packets, thus tokens should be lower power.
I notice that the temperature sensory has an accuracy spec of 0.7F, yet this...
For Sale $45 or willing to trade for a 5 gallon ball lock keg or a 7.75 gallon Sankey keg. Used half barrel (15.5 gallon) Sankey keg. Still under pressure. Convert it into a Keggle or use it as a fermentation vessel. Weights about 30 pounds. Local pickup only (Laguna Hills, CA).
@ btbnl Nice work on the Excel file. I too do not understand your equations, so a more detailed explanation would be helpful in gaining a better understanding of the science and math behind this.
@ doug293cz I really like you idea in post #5 to purge sanitized kegs with CO2. I have also...
