    Turning down the propane burner after hotbreak?

    I turn it down to keep a nice rolling boiling. If I keep it turned up I waste way to much propane and whenever I put anything in it wants to boil over again.

    Irish moss question

    I have never seen a difference with Irish moss. My clearest beers have come without it. Just my observation.

    If you bottle with caps, get a bench capper. Seriously.

    I have both and like the wing capper. Simple and fast.

    Secondary??

    I left mine in the primary. Turned out great. Mine was a whiskey oatmeal stout and I just added the oak chips to the primary.

    OVERhopped - No, I really mean it...

    Yep I love hops and the IPA brews i have made I have never noticed much of a difference between 10 to 20 oz to 35 oz. I have done both and do not gain much after 10 oz except for aroma. Usually using about 4-6 ounces including dry hops.

    Used grain ideas- what to do with it???

    Anybody concerned about this hobby on their health?

    Liver problems?? You would need to be an alcoholic or have a pre existing condition. Weight gain?? You would have that same problem eating to much food. Your liver can get stressed with many things not just alcohol. Some much worse in stuff we drink and eat everyday.

    Ipa temps.

    I keep mine on a box above the floor. I have not had a problem yet but yes I am on the very low end of the yeast capability. You definitely do not want to set it on the basement floor it will leech all the heat from the carboy.

    Ipa temps.

    I keep mine at 54F. I like the taste when fermented at lower temps. I leave it in the primary for 4 weeks no secondary.

    My Ale is fermenting at 54??

    I keep mine at 55F. I like to stay at the low end of the yeast.

    Will warm first 24 hours cause off flavours?

    Alot of books recommend if its your first lager to wait to cool it down until fermentation starts. Especially if you are under pitching/ not using a starter. You need around 240 billion to cold start a lager at 5 gallons. From what I have read it should be fine but others more knowledgeable...

    Witbier Blue Balls Belgian Wit (Blue Moon Clone)

    Can this be kegged and use that as secondary? Or just leave in primary for 2 weeks?

    Can my Carboy be too big?

    The yeast would eat the oxygen up very quickly. I use a 6.5 and it works out fine for my 4 gallon batches.
