    Do you need a 1 off Stainless part built for your system? Let's discuss it.

    Got ya beat. Cold crashing under 1-2 psi... I transfer in a similar fashion. Since I starters tilting the 60l with the bottom spigot up, I haven't had any clogged spigots or poppets. A foot long 2x4 scrap will do the job. Just push it under until the bottom left and top right corners of the...

    Detour IIPA Recipe

    NM above Per unita's site: Munich, C40 Bravo, Citra, Simcoe 9.5%, 96ibu, 19srm So build an all Munich beer to 9.5 based on your system efficiency Add c40 until you hit 19srm I would guess Bravo is bittering with citra and Simcoe as later additions. Shouldn't be hard to get to 96ibu with...

    Detour IIPA Recipe

    Da Yoopers house pale is a good place to start. That grain combo is pretty close iirc. Just adjust the gravity up and swap/add more some hops. I think detour may have a bit of darker crystal hops, but it's been over a year since I had one so going off of pure memory.

    Homemade Bread Thread

    What are you drinking now?

    Hope yours was better than mine. Tasted like a hoppy bottle of 002. But props to SN for attempting to mass produce it. They have another hazey IPA in the works iirc.

    Single IPA hop you can't live without

    I would say Centennial, but the last two years have not been great imo. 13-14 were nice. Haven't had any of the 17 yet. That being said, I'll call Columbus as well. So versatile, depending on boil time addition. I just got my first comet on black Friday (thanks Yakima valley hops) and I'm...

    A vitality starter might be food as well. Get the little buggers active before they get too drunk

    1.220 OG RIS

    Though it is often called distillation, it's not. Its perfectly legal as far as federal laws go. I think there are only 2 states that have laws restricting anything to do with them. Neither Of which have to do with the Homebrew scale iirc. Also of them has been cleared my the moderators.

    I've never been personally disappointed. Keep a watch on the dates though.

    1.220 OG RIS

    As I stated earlier, eis beer is the way to go for BIG bees in my opinion. It does take a bit of still to pull it off though. If you can pump co2 into the FV as it crashes/freezes, you are on the right track. OP: definitely gonna need some sugar to dry it out after the large DME additions...

    1.220 OG RIS

    That's a pretty good final gravity for so5 and that ABV sidering along boil and DME additions as well. I'm curious how efficiently one could double or triple sparge a double or triple Mash IE using the same sparge water over and over again for a second beer. Surely you could gyle a Saison or...

    Smallest Possible Chest Freezer

    Upright freezer here $200 on Craigslist. Holds four cornies and a shelf for bottles. Co2 on the outside. Drill through the front door without worry and no collar etc needed. Probably a similar footprint to a small freezer. The taller uprights will hold 8 cornies, but I don't have that kind of...

    Thanks for the info. Reading up more on yeast is definitely a to do. Been wrapping my head around water the last few months. Think I'm almost there. :) For serial mash info, Blichmann did an episode of Brew Strong on it. https://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/brew-strong-triple-mashing-2/ He...

    1.220 OG RIS

    I don't fully understand the stepped feeding of wort. This article is written as though high gravity wort is hard on the yeast. It's not. High alcohol% is. You can pitch any yeast you please and it will ferment until it reaches a point of toxicity. Correct? On one hand, I kinda get the idea...

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    Really long way around, but doable. In the future, you could just set up a profile for no sparge in beersmith. You can over build your recipe, so instead of 2.5, go for 3 or 3.5g. Collect wort until you hit your preboil volume and close the valve. Drain and sparge accordingly for the second...
