i grow my own too. i am having really good luck growing Crystal. first season from a rhizome i ended up with 2 pounds. I brewed a pale using locally sourced white wheat, soured it (goodbellys- pomegranate/blackberry), and secondaried with wild blackberries around our property and added a little...

hey guys. i havent been on here in almost a year to post. i normally do all grain but after almost a year since last brew ,just made a red ale mostly extract kit from NB , there was a small portion of grain to steep . Nottingham high performance yeast. EVERY time i do extract , i get that...

upgraded my strike water element Friday. Our kitchen stove was replaced so i salvaged the large element and transferred it to my rig . cut a 1/3 off my heat time.

just this page. and not much in the past year. after a few years of being a regular poster, some people have turned me off to participating.

been a brewer for a few years and just a couple months ago my wife and I started talking about hard cider. so , she picked up 3 - 1 gallon jugs of Greenwise apple juice, organic, pasteurized. i bought some cider yeast and its been going 2 weeks and i think im ready to get it bottled up. Should...

does your wife have Lupus?

STAR SAN is a blend of phosphoric acid and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. This synergistic blend provides a unique killing system that is unaffected by excessive organic soils. STAR SAN is also a self-foaming sanitizer. It can be applied through a foamer to produce self-adhering sanitizing foam...

First of all MATE, go back to the #1 post on this thread and you'll see where I got that co-souring method. cut and paste. I might as well open my own thread. Y'all are acting like a bunch of 3 yr olds. nit-picking mf'ers . if its not 100% worded like you say , its wrong. I'm just done.

Co-Souring Method: Make unhopped wort. Chill as normal. Pitch Lactobacillus plantarum and the yeast of your choice. Ferment as normal, at 65°F or higher. Optional/recommended add hops when it reaches the desired sourness. (Dry hops or hop tea) Package as normal. So. My method which I got from...

When did i mention lagering??

i was under the impression this was still a discussion forum. Im sorry to say the attitudes in here are going the way they are, everybody is so butthurt and on the defensive to usable and practical information . might as well just start a whole new forum stating if your thoughts differ from the...

I did pretty much what you listed in the first post. How is that a different method.

I think you're confusing yeast death with what is actually dormancy... we can kill yeast with high temperatures , we know that. If we dont filter our beer theres still a trace amount of active yeast that could be used to propagate another batch, its been done. It has reached its limit in...

Exactly. if they would make these "starter kits" with a little more thought ,they could very well open up the hobby to more people . I think these little brown barrel kits are what puts people off from going beyond. I'm still at the opinion that these kits do not make beer as the first time...

I havent done a batch since summer and I probably wont do another one for a while. But, I do use all the wash ,but I have done sour mash batches that turned out really well. Last batch I made I used my regular recipe and instead of running it on my usual 6th day I let it ride in the bucket for...

looking back at my first brew in a Mr Beer ...its a lot of things. Cheap ingredients ,maybe not so fresh, yeast maybe not so perfect for the brew or again , not fresh. Water - I didnt consider water chemistry then and it didnt taste right , most likely due to chlorine. Stale hops pellets. I...

ok, i dont keg but the possibility to keg prime exists. so... to answer your question there can be enough pressure to serve beer from a keg.

it could break glass ...hope for popping a carboy bung first.

your post mash boil needs only to be up to a boil or actually just pasteurizing temp WITHOUT HOPS for a few minutes then chilled , THEN you add your souring and let that ride (up to 48 hrs for mine) then bring it back to the full boil (stops the souring) with your hop schedule and proceed to...

Im well aware of that... However, most home use conventional style water heaters are set at 120*F or below for prevention of scalding(mostly for kids safety) If one were to assume this is the HOT water used by people who dont know, it feels very hot to the touch but its not high enough to...
