That is really slick. Nice build and well documented but boy that is a lot of work. Just made me glad I ferment in my 10 gallon cornies :D

So this is like a counter flow chiller without the counter flow? What is the end goal? I have always been leery to pass my wort thru something I can't see into.

Homebrew is made at home. Some of our members have started brewery's or written books on the subject of beer but if they brew at home the are also homebrewers. If someone is on a hot streak you need to pick their brain, find out how to tighten or tweak you recipe or system. I don't know about...

Buying the 3 kegs from you last year was the best thing I have done for my beer. I wish I had some extra cash I would take that 13 from you in a heart beat now.

That is a good deal. I paid 200 a piece for my two and picked them up in person. I could have gotten them cheaper form another source but I wanted them right then. I have had them like two months and have used them for 6 batches already.

Banana or orange. See I can do it too!:D

You didn't answer if it is a hydrometer or refractometer. Did you take the reading with a refractometer? If it has alcohol in solution it messes with density of the solution and how light travels thru it.

Where? I am looking for some more.

This what I ferment in now. I bought a couple of these from a HBT member. They are awesome! I transfer to 5 gal kegs under presure, and yeast washing is super easy.

Most of the ciders I have done fermented down to around 1.005. If it is sweet it isn't done.

I have had a super saturated wort a couple of times. I once nuged a better bottle with a toe after 36 hours dormant. I looked away for a moment, just a few seconds and heard a hissing squeal. I lost almost a gallon and a half and painted the ceiling. If you rouse the yeast put a rag with starsan...

I am going to just go with beers from brewery's that I have been to been to, because I am apparently a lush(and a hater). 1.Rouge, I hate everyone of their beers. All of them! 2.Stone, your beer gardens are pretty but your food is over priced and crap. And your beers are awful, I hate them...

I use a bench capper for Most of my capping for this reason. I was using a wing capper and just pressing down. After a few close calls with token bottles I stoped. But if you get a bench capper get a self adjusting one. It is a pain to use when you have a mixed batch of bottles.

Wow it is really dark.

Did you try raising the temp or rousing the yeast? If those fail you could always try Champagne yeast.

I did mess up on my second batch of this. Used RO water(my new house has a rust problem) but forgot my mineral additions.:drunk: It tastes as if I tried to clone a BMC. I will bottle and give to BMC drinkers as Christmas presents :rockin: and brew another batch.

I would also like to know this.

What are you fermenting in? It sounds like a lactic infection one of my buddy's had a few months back.

Please keep us posted. :D

What is your favorite beer? I go with hops I can use across a couple of beer styles. I go with a high aa bittering hop, an aroma hop, an english hop, and a noble hop. If I really want some thing special later I have to buy from lhbs.
