I ordered Centennial pellets from Midwest last week, they sent Centennial type. The site did not mention potential substitutions or the word "Type" In a shining example of today's customer service they have opted to not respond to my inquiries on the matter and in a rock solid user driven...

In please!

This stuff is insanely good! I brewed it 6 weeks ago, kegged it 2 weeks ago and at this point its drinking excellent. Has a ton of flavor, great mouthfeel/thickness and awesome smell. This will become a regular for sure, already planning to brew another batch in a few weeks.

Been on my todo list, probably will wait until spring.

Do you guys recommend a particular vendor/maker/model of corona mill? There seems to be a lot of variance in pricing

Are all Corona mills created equal? I see prices all over the board, are there any brands or specific vendors that a home brewer sould deal with?

I have the same issue, see any of my posts, they almost all degenerate into the WTF is wrong with my beer. I have done 4 extract brews, 1 partial mash and 1 all grain brew. The first extract was the best by far, all since have been mediocre at best. The only one that has not been tasted yet...

Interesting, i get so much conficting advice and my process is not repeatable enough to do a real scientific approach at testing results. It seems most people here are professing a 3-4 week primary for most things these days. Even the "big guy" home brewers like Palmer and Jamil are saying the...

decent was not the right word, its a quality product - better than my homebrew by a mile and expoentially better than my homebrew after only a week. I feel like I pitch properly, and arerate well (not great, manual process, no forced aeration) and typically I ferment out in a few days with...

A local beer spot in my area recently built a brewery. The beer they are producing is decent (nothing magical, but good, clean and very drinkable). I noticed that they are doing 2 things that amaze me: 1) They are turning around beer in just over a week - and its good! How do they do this or...

I will sit on this for a few more weeks to be sure, but wow did it taste good at 8 days!

I brewed this 8 days ago using recipe in post 1, I pitched 1.5 packs of Nottingham and fermented in a tub of water with ice packs (upper 50's / lower 60's water temp). The fermentation was mild, no blowoff needed - started at 1.066 and finished at 1.017 (or 75% attenuation - seems about...

This stuff is not slimy, its actually gummy/sticky - like i can touch it with my finger and lift it off the table sticky..... its weird. I had miltiple lines in the bucket: one thin walled siphon host, one thick walled beer line and one gas line. The siphon hose seems to have been affected the...

I left a few feet each of various hoses in a bucket of starsan after cleanup on Sunday. When I retrieved them Tuesday I did not notice anything wrong and just left them on a rack to dry. A day later I went to put them away and discovered they are sticky or gummy as if the starsan (diluted 1oz...

I was secretly hoping this would be my first beer that needed a blowoff tube :ban: Its gurgling along, bubbling good every 20 - 30 seconds.

I need to get a themometer with memory but for now my random checks show that the water in the temp is right around 60 with the frozen water bottle additions with a few degrees of fluctuation as the bottles melt. Fermentation has started but is rather slow (from all visible signs), I suppose...

Brewed this today, first all grain attempt. Hit 1.064 using BIAB and pitched 1.5 packs of Nottingham on top of the foam/wort in fermenter. It looked and smelled great while mashing and boiling - cant wait to try this one in a month or so. EDIT: Its been close to 24 hours since pitching, temp...

I just completed my first BIAB using EdWorts Bee Cave porter recipe. I mashed just under 14lbs in 8.5 gallons of water in my 10 gallon pot - it was full!. I ended up with 7.5 gallons of wort after squeezing the piss out of the bag, BeerSmith says I hit 76% efficiency pre boil. I did pull the...

Alright, you guilted me into it. :-) I just pitched the yeast ~1.5 hours ago. Its sitting in a tub of water, draped with towels, in a room that is ~68 ambient and will soon have frozen water bottles added. I can swap the water bottles 2-3x a day. Should that drop the temps enough to get...
