Way too much specialty imo. For reference my house pale ale (11gal 5.5%) takes 1.5 lb of specialty

I have a concerted chest freezer that I have been using for a couple years, last weekend the temp began to creep up a little. It was humid in my basement and some frost formed inside, I unplugged and out some rags in there for a day then plugged it back in. Now I can't get it to go below 50f...

Mosaic centennial is my favorite combo

EmDubeu - awesome sheet, how do I go about getting my Tilt connected to a copy of your sheet? I made a copy and i am not sure how to get it to connect with mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am going a bit against the grain with this take probably but I make beers with tons of hop flavor and very rarely dry hop. You can get much more depth of flavor in my opinion from a 10-15 min addition and a hopstand starting at 160-180 for 15 minutes with a bit of agitation a few times during...

Get a keg washer. I rinse with hot water place on keg washer with pbw, hook up to liquid disconnect for 10 min, then gas 10 min. Throw the next keg on while I rinse with very hot water. Once both kegs are rinsed I place it back on with hot water so I can get the liquid and gas. Empty, rinse...

Would you be willing to drive a bit north to meet? Interested in 20lb tank but coming from northern mass..

Once a year I always get oversaturated by hoppy beers and drink some American lagers for a week or two, then I'm right back on them. Dry hoppy beers are just so damn tasty, malty beers are never in season for me.

I use wlp090 for 90% of my beers at least. I'm not a fan of yeast flavor and shy away from British yeast for that reason. I actually think the reason I can't make a decent dry stout is I always use Irish ale yeast thinking I have to. I recently made an alt like beer and split with alt yeast...

I have done an overnight mash a few times now. I mash in around 11pm a couple degrees over my target, wake up drain while getting breakfast for my daughter, once she is settled I carry the pot outside and begin to boil. Saves time, beer was as good as anything from a normal batch. Efficiency...

I am thinking of trading in my 10 gallon igloo beverage cooler for a SS mesh basket for brew in a basket. I try to brew 10 gallons most frequently, I would keep the cooler for full mash 5 gallon My thought is I will keep my existing 15 gallon kettle add a pump, 8 gallon induction ready pot...

I'm in!

I was about to buy the ic3500 today and noticed a review about the unit breaking quickly. The response from the website was your pot is over 10.25" and that is why. There goes what I read as simply being less efficient. Guess it is back to the drawing board for 5 gallon batches in the house

Double post

I originally pressurized to match commercial but turns out we both prefer it at a lower carbonation level. So now everything is just on 12psi in my kegerator which puts it at around 2.5 I think? I forget I dialed it in to my preferred level for beer years ago and haven't looked back. The key...

I was under the impression that for induction it was not necessarily max width but more if it gets wider then it is less efficient. I am actually planning to get the ic3500 in a couple weeks to do some 5 gal batches in my basement here in MA and have a very wide pot, so really interested if I'm...

Nugget and crystal? All the standard homebrew shops seem to sell them.

1 seltzer 2 pale ale 3 pale ale I had 4 taps until recently, one was seltzer other three were typically pale ale. Added two more and currently have three pales, seltzer and 2 altbierish. With 1 pale waiting for a tap. I am prepping for a party in September soon by testing some new styles so...

Makes total sense now not sure why it slipped my mind when I was doing it

I have one 2.5 torpedo which I like, needed keg lube for proper seal, only two of my refurbs need it so not sure why a new one needed it but not a big deal. Considering a second one if I can get myself brewing enough 2.5 gal batches on the stove on Friday nights.
