A 34 Lintner mash is on the cusp of full conversion, but if you avoid stirring it may not fully convert. You can move the odds in your favor by keeping the mash pH high (like ~ 5.8) and striking high and keeping the mash temperature high (like 158°F)

Got my 1318 reproduction line going full tilt boogie this morning aiming to crank out enough cells for 20 gallons of 55 point hazies plus overbuild for the next cycle. Safe and sane kitchen take-over: boil water on stove, set pot in sink, stir in four drops of Fermcap then add the DME. No...

Then you should toss the regulator because those jets expect the full domestic NG gas pressure (typically 11" WC) to operate correctly. Cheers!

How do they get beer inside the kegs? Put the coupler on, leave the gas connection unconnected/open for venting, then run a line from a faucet to the beer connection, ideally terminated with a beer thread swivel nut but the right size vinyl line could be simply held to the bare beer port on the...

Now that the weather is heading towards fall I'm getting geared up for brewing two 10 gallon batches on successive days and as soon as I can, so I ran up to Jasper's and picked up a 2nd 5 liter e-flask along with a couple of smack packs of London III and a crapton of light DME, along with some...

Buh bye FSD... https://electrek.co/2025/09/05/tesla-changes-meaning-full-self-driving-give-up-promise-autonomy/ But "Hello, payday!" for Elon o_O https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/05/tesla-elon-musk-trillion-dollar-pay-package

Go Chargers! ;)

My Juicy Bits clone... Cheers!

I believe all roads lead to this Github page... https://github.com/hotzenklotz/picobrew-server

fwiw, my very first wheat beer started life as a rather insipid brew due to lack of IBUs. I made up a quart of hop tea on the stove, cooled it down and added it to the base beer, and it was totally transformative... Cheers!

It is correct that super-rich gas mixture will result in incomplete combustion. Those jets are specific to the gas supply they're to be used with, so if they were meant for domestic NG but are being run on propane that would be a problem. The typical wok burner needs to be re-jetted to move from...

I'm up north at our New Hampshire house to do some electrical work mixed with some smallie fishing on the Connecticut River. Got to the Moore Reservoir boat launch this morning and discovered they drained it. Woof! The actual ramp was unusable, but fortunately there was a viable path to the...

I just let the fermentation gas do its thing on its own because it's easier and @doug293cz's work on the subject assures me of success while leaving my precious Star San reservoir sans odor 😁 Cheers!.

Dragged my boat up north for a few days of fishing and caught a rainbow up in Littleton NH. And while I was trying to shoot that one, a second showed up. Cheers!

Some yeasts are far better at biotransformation of hop compounds than others. If that site did not examine that then I would once again bin the results. Cheers!

I don't think it matters if you had the gas line connected immediately after racking, the beer's gonna do what it's gonna do either way. Also, it'll likely take more than 10 days. Ime, it takes 2 weeks plus a couple of days to reach equilibrium at ~2.4 volumes for five gallons of a typical pale...

fwiw, I'd ditch the splitter and valves and extra tubing and simply fill the shorty as described with the single line then move it over to fill the 5g keg... Cheers!

Remember, it's only arson if it's from the French region of Arsonne. Otherwise, it's just sparkling fire.

Sky is sketchy here. Hopefully someone Out There will have a better shot at seeing the aurora b. tonight/tomorrow morning. That red spike happens between 1 and 4 AM Eastern time... Cheers! (and good luck!)
