Assuming 2 months, Mr. Malty has your viability at 10%.

How long since you pitched? After 2 months you may get some lag, but should still take off. I wouldn't be surprised at 24 hours, if not a little longer. Probably a little faster if you had a stir plate. Some yeast nutrient in the starter doesn't hurt either. Now for me personally if I had 6...

Takes me ~5 minutes at 1 psi. I use a spigot rather than a racking cane, but I done think that should matter too much. You're fighting 2 vertical feet, but with 1.5 psi over the surface area of a carboy to 3/8 inch tube there should be plenty of "push". Do you hover the cane over the cake or do...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. You take you liquid ball lock qd off the beer line and attach it to a co2 line. Then snap the new setup to the liquid post. This allows you to push co2 through the liquid post the easiest. Personally, I'd only do it of you have MFL(aka threaded) connections for the QDs...

I'd say the volume isn't the issue so much with your smaller than normal batch as the time is. Takes less time to 1) Cool the beer and 2) Get the co2 into solution at the CO2 volume your looking for versus 5 gallons going into solution; 2 could also be said as: you need less CO2 to mix with the...

Last two are my bet. Likely a clog. Purge the keg and swap a liquid qd onto your gas line. Connect to the liquid post with the PRV open to see if you can blow it out. Then return everything to normal. You'll need to let it settle for a day as that will stir everything up.

Second this. Im a whirlpool the dont care about what makes it into the feementor guy too. Couple days from my first NEIPA (two weeks after drinking my first one, soooo hooked). With that style you actually want the hold to stick around a little. In the past I've used a paint strainer bag in the...

I use hot out of a 15 year old tank. Saves me time(and money as it is NG and my burner is Propane) and my beer is identical in taste as when I've used cold. No other changes to process. As to sediment, that stays on the bottom, or it mixes with my food too, in which case I'm ok with it also...

Though I'd post my LoDO Big Mouth Bubbler Pressure transfer process I rigged up tonight. Might have been covered already, but... Parts List (had most already): Plastic Big Mouth Bubbler with spout 10' 3/8 OD 1/4 ID hose for CO2 flow (homedepot) 1/4 barb to 1/4 MFL for CO2 tank connection 3...

If it helps at all, they are my lhbs. I've bought plenty of 1 oz bags of cascade from them repackaged and all of those beers tasted great. Drinking some edwort Haus Pale Ale at this moment using thier cascade, right there hop taste/aroma wise with sierra nevada or the like.

I'm thankful for finding this hobby, which combines all of my favorite things. Beer, science, art, helpful people and, hobbies (I'm a hobby jumper...). Also have to say I'm thankful for great family and friends that I spent some quality time with the past few days, sharing the fruits of this...

Might be better solutions from some more experienced brewers out there, this is what worked for me when I got a clog. Turn the gas down all the way, vent keg through PRV all the way until no hiss, then swap a liquid qd onto your gas line and connect to the keg liquid port. Increase pressure...

I do cold brew. 4oz coffee (french or kona so far) added to quart mason jar, top with water, refrigerate overnight. Strained through coffee filter in a sieve or cheesecloth (preferred by me, but I never have any), then dumped into keg. 3 days and it's balanced just how I like.

100 percent the way to go. Skip the cooler altogether. Add reflectix around the kettle for mash and get Wilser to stitch up a bag for the new kettle. 10 gallon biab rocks. Easy, effeciant and consistent.

As several others have mentioned, a programmed solution is likely your best bet (BrewPi or custom). The proper Inkbird might do the trick as well, certainly for compressor time.

One thing that occurred to me when I bought a few digital thermometers for around the house years back. One thermometers accuracy is only as good as the nexts. I bought 5 and it wasn't until I put them all in the same spot that I realized two were likely inaccurate (other three read the same...

Quick update, my dial says northern brewer on ot, not sure who makes thiers, but it's dead accurate throughout its range.

Assuming you use a spunding valve? Also, doesn't this limit your net to 4.5 ish gallons? Or do you use two kegs? My lbhs always has pin locks dirt cheat and every once and awhile ball locks. Have enough ball locks right now to fill the fridge and store 2 more, been thinking if picking up a few...

Could someone recommend a bittering hop based on what I have? Going with the CMG 1.5/1/.5 schedule for the rest of the hops from 1418. I have: CTZ Centennial Cascade Citra Willamette I'd think the CTZ or centennial would be best and I have lots of each, but would like to know if anyone has...

I have glass carboys, buckets (with and without spigots), and plastic big mouth bubbler. The bubbler is my favorite, as it is clear and easy to clean. I'm not a huge fan of the lid on it though, it is just a silicone seal that uses froction to stay in place and will almost come out with the...
