    Dominate a room with yeast?

    I am going to be brutally honest here. The quoted statement in itself shows that you are in over your head in helping them, the best advise you can give them at this point is to hire a new consultant; somebody who makes a living helping breweries stay in business and understands brewing...

    Should i risk this yeast ?????

    Couple of questions: - Have you tasted the starter or checked gravity to see if there has been any fermentation occuring? - What was the size of the original starter you are stepping up from? Based on your description of the starter still being quite dark I would guess that there is not...

    Details on the modified chugger pump head? Is it welded drilled and tapped for NPT tri-clamp fittings?

    Purge Valve placement for chugger SS pump

    I have the same problem with my Chugger pump, on my setup (connected to a Blichmann Boilermaker) it seems like the pickup in the kettle picks up the bubbles from the boil and creates priming issues. I have not come up with a solution so I have been working around it; the only time I need to pump...

    Recycle Bombers into Drinking Glass

    Trick to cutting glass smoothly is to score only once, anything else just makes a mess.. You are not cutting the glass with the cutter, you are creating a fault for it to break along.

    Yeast immobilization: magic beans of fermentation

    Great experiment, I am anxiously awaiting the results. Based on the experiences and experiments of others I suspect that this is not going to be a viable alternative for any beer with any yeast character at all. My understanding is that if you pitch at such a rate as to prevent reproduction of...

    Big fail tonight....

    Have you measured the actual voltage at the outlets? Many times it is not 120 which will effect the actual wattage of the elements.

    33 gallons of fermentation space!

    Awesome build, I have been looking for a way to maintain multiple fermentations in the same freezer. Have you tested how much of a temperature differential you can maintain with this?

    Beer has garden hose taste...

    From the symptoms described my vote is on a wild yeast problem, it may have been introduced during bottling. Did you sample the beer prior to bottling? How did it taste then?

    Trellis Plans

    Thanks for all of the inputs, I have redesigned things a bit with these ideas in mind. I am now going with a two pole system with a rope between them that the twine runs to. I am setting this up so that I can lower the top rope when I need to for maintenance or harvesting. Here are the current...
