    How much cane sugar to prime 22 oz bombers?

    There are several priming sugar calculators out there, like this one: http://www.brewunited.com/priming_sugar_calculator.php These let you dial in exactly how much carbonation you want based on beer style. (A bomber is 22oz / 128oz/gallon = 0.172 gallon.) I usually weigh the sugar on my mini...

    Brew Bucket owners - What Mini Fridge are you using ?

    I wiped down the inside surfaces and left the door open for a few days. After closing it up this morning and leaving closed for most of the day, the plastic smell is still there. Not as bad as before, so perhaps it will lessen as the fridge ages. These are still a great buy, and I have no...

    Brew Bucket owners - What Mini Fridge are you using ?

    Definitely a plastic/camphor odor inside the box, but it has not impacted flavor of any of any fermentations. I also use one as an aging fridge and the canned/bottled stouts coming from the fridge are still quite tasty. I'll leave the door open on the ferm fridge for a few days to see if the...

    Correct way to calculate a starter overbuild

    I have been using the calculator on Brew United site, with good results. It allows you to add your overbuild to determine the correct total starter volume. Then, before pitching you just pull out the overbuild portion: (Overbuild cell count/Total cells) * Total Starter Volume The rest is for...

    Does CO2 cannister temp matter?

    Expansion of a gas causes the temp to drop. CO2 coming out of the tank at high pressure to low pressure absorbs a lot of heat energy. PV= nRT (Pressure * Volume) = n*R*Temperature If you drop Pressure on the left side of the equation, the Temperature has to drop to keep the equation...

    Does CO2 cannister temp matter?

    I think once the canister is full the temp does not matter. When you take an empty tank for refill, a cold canister will accept more C02 so you get more gas for your money. I carry mine in a cooler to the shop. I leave the tank outside of the fridge (1) more room in the kegerator for kegs...

    Harvest yeast from bottle no brix/gravity change since pitching 24 hours ago

    ^^^ exactly! This has worked well for me. Some will say the crash cooling stresses the yeast, so stepping up the existing starter with fresh wort should keep them happy, stress free little buggers.

    Harvest yeast from bottle no brix/gravity change since pitching 24 hours ago

    Yeah, my experience harvesting the same yeast was about 1 week to build up to pitching quantity. I harvested all the dregs from a sixer of Bell's Two Hearted, which did take a few days to see initial activity. After that, rather than decanting each step I just kept adding additional wort in...
