    Pennsylvania Blichmann 55 Gallon Brew Kettles and Floor Burners

    I wanted to refresh this thread. The items are all still for sale. I won't ship. However, if you're in the Philly area you'll get a deal for these items. The burners retail for $150 and I'm selling each for $100. They are used but only for a year and are in great shape. The pots I'm asking...

    My First Brett Saison

    Yes, the brett is still viable and will carb up your beer. My saison carbed in two weeks and it was over 6 months old when I bottled.

    My First Brett Saison

    I didn't use heavy bottles but I don't think the gravity will drop any further. I pitched brett six month prior to bottling. At three months I checked the gravity and it was the same when I bottled. Reading up on all this beforehand, I know that doesn't mean the gravity won't drop more but I...

    My First Brett Saison

    Thanks for the thoughts. The final gravity was around 1.005. I used 3724 not 3711. I'm not sure if that would make a difference. I did transfer some of the yeast cake in hopes that the Brett could eat what was in there. Maybe now that the beer is bottled the Brett character will come out more...

    My First Brett Saison

    I'm now drinking my brett saisons - 2 halves of an all citra hop saison, 1 with brett brux in the secondary and the other with brett lamb. I brewed the same batch with centennial, split, and added the same strains of brett. Each were fermented in the primary with 3724. I reracked and added...

    Wine Yeast + Brett in beer

    I'm brewing today a beer I'm going to primary with GRE and rerack on the yeast cake of a Rodenbach Grand Cru clone that's been in the secondary for 16 months (I used the Wyeast lambic blend in that beer). I'm using the same recipe I did for my last beer with GRE, which I think is the best beer...

    WLP644 -Brett B Trois

    I just kegged an all brett white IPA with 644. I used only mosaic and citra hops for flavoring and dry hopping. It's by far the fruitiest beer I've ever had, almost to the point of a tropical carbonated soda. That may not sound terribly appealing but it's actually a nice refreshing beer for...

    My First Brett Saison

    I would wait at least until they're three months old, if not six. My brett saisons are all at 6 months now and I actually just dry hopped them and will bottle next week. All four 2.5 gallon batches are between 1.004 and 1.006. That's what they were at 3 months as well as now at 6 months...

    I'm asking $100 for each burner. New they're $150. Local pickup only (I'm in the Philadelphia area).

    Pennsylvania Blichmann 55 Gallon Brew Kettles and Floor Burners

    Sorry for the delay posting pictures. Here are a few of the pots and one of the burners. I had the volume cylinders removed and patched since I was using these for making BBQ sauce. I have all the parts, just need to be reattached. We only used them 15 times or so so they're in great shape...

    Sour Beer in Washington DC

    Mike's blog is awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on his book! I'll have to check out Right Proper. I'm definitely going to ChurchKey - it's only three blocks from my hotel.

    Pennsylvania Blichmann 55 Gallon Brew Kettles and Floor Burners

    I have two used Blichmann 55 gallon brew kettles and two floor burners for sale. They're only two years old but have been used a number of times. The burners I'm asking $100 each and the pots $500 each OBO. Send me a message if you're interested. I live near Philadelphia.

    Sour Beer in Washington DC

    I apologize if this is the wrong forum for my question. I'm going to be in DC in a few weeks for business and I'm hoping to find a few good beer bars with decent selections of draft beers but most importantly, sours. Do any of you know good bars in DC for sours?

    Wine Yeast + Brett in beer

    My second wine yeast recipe is much better I think than my first attempt. It's pretty basic, pilsner malt with a tiny bit of cara pils and melanoiden. I used styrian for bitter and flavor hops then EKG for dry hopping. I fermented half with wlp001 and the other half with GRE. It turned out...

    My First Brett Saison

    I checked the gravity and tasted mine at 12 weeks. They were all around 1.004 but with little to no funk. I'm going to check again in June at 6 months and probably bottle regardless.

    My First Brett Saison

    I'm in the same boat. I've heard that pilsner malt has been modified so you don't have to boil for 90 minutes. I use pilsner malt as the base for most of my beers and always boil for 90 minutes. Like sweetcell said, why risk it?

    Regulator Problems - Need Help!

    Thanks for the responses. I called the manufacturer and they're sending me a new one. It's defective.

    Regulator Problems - Need Help!

    I am fairly new to kegging and just purchased a dual regulator. I hooked it up last night in my kegorator and set it at 12psi. When I woke up this morning it was at 45psi! Every time I try to set it it keeps creeping back up to 45. Am I doing something wrong or is this a broken regulator...

    Rack to secondary or not? Too late?

    You're fine to let them ride. If they were in plastic I'd worry about oxygen.
