So basically if my conical is carbed and ready to transfer at 38f and 13-14PSI, I would purge, and then pressurize the corny to 12-13PSI? What would I set the spunding valve to? And would I leave the spunding valve set to the same pressure the entire transfer?

What is the point of the spunding valve then? I could just pressurize the keg and pop PRV periodically by what you're saying?

Hey guys, I ferment and carbonate with my spike CF15. I have been using their closed loop transfer setup, and have issues with foam. I transfer at around 35-36 degrees F. I was recently told I could use a spunding valve on the Corny keg, and pressurize the corny and use the spunding valve...

That makes sense. How much would the 145 at 30-45 change the sweetness and mouthfeel rather than a straight 155 60 min mash?

I have a thermapen mk4 which is fairly new so I do not think it’s mosreading. As well as all my PIDs

Having attenuation issues. 3 20 gallon EHERMS Spike cf15 w glycol chiller and heat wrap. Oxygenated for a minute-minute and a half with oxygen bottle and carb stone 4.5 L WLP028 yeast starter, used sterilized pre canned wort, kept around 68-70 degrees stirred for 24 then crashed for 24...

Have cash, want to buy a MM2/3 Pro.

So sparge as usual, and add my minerals to boil kettle once volume is reached and then adjust PH if necessary?

I brew on a 3 20g EHERMS system. I have a Hanna HALO ph meter, and a 100GPD RO/DI system. Second brew using RODI water and I know you can’t accurately check PH because there isn’t any ions etc. I’ve been adding my sparge salts to the boil kettle once hotbreak forms and clears like Kal...

I already slanted and played this strain. When I made the starter.

The recipe OG and FG is way lower than beersmith a predictions when I entered recipe. Idk what’s going on with that. Just worried this batch won’t turn out. Btw I brew on a 20 gallon blichmann eherms system, with a spike CF15 w glycol chiller and heating blanket. After this batch I will grow...

And I got my new hydrometer in the mail and it’s reading 1.030 so tilt isn’t too far off. Sucks not knowing what my actual OG was though. Note to self I already knew to have multiple hydrometersnbut I broke my own rule when I broke my one and only.

So I did rouse it an hour ago. It’s currently at 69. So just let it ride for another 3-4 days before dumping and cold crash? First time brewing this recipe and using this yeast so idk what to expect. Maybe shouldn’t have entered it into nationals but who knows. My other beers usually turn out...

So i brewed an oatmeal stout. Recipe is beerwreckdus from NHBA. Starting gravity according to TILT was 1.073 (supposed to be 1.080 according to beer smith, and 1.076 according to recipe) I broke my hydrometer right before post boil/OG reading so no idea other than TILT. Beersmith final is...

great answer!

21 lbs 9.6 oz 2 row 1lb 14.7oz german chocolate wheat 1lbs 3.2oz crystal 80 11.9oz carapils I tried the brown full profile in beersmith and it seems more reasonable. my magnesium is a little high, at 14PPM from the faucet, should I worry about that? Or should I dilute with RO or distilled? I...

I’ll post the recipe in a few, it uses some 80L and a little chocolate wheat. But keep everything else as Is and adjust down the sodium and chloride?

I am doing my first water adjustment for my brew tomorrow. I have used EZ and BS and the salt levels differ greatly. The sodium beersmith suggests for a porter are very high, and almost everywhere is recommending lower sodium levels. I also read an exbeeriment on high sodium vs low sodium...

I added yeast to the wort around 12:30am, it’s now 10am, there’s a small amount of foam on top. Doesn’t look like krausen to me. It’s been stirring all night. Look abnormal to you?
