i use black ones and never had a problem. i don't boil them though, as some do. just throw them in starsan.

adding it in the secondary could be tough. you will have to stir it in somehow. what kind of secondary are you using, bucket or carboy?

i brewed a chocolate porter once and used cocoa powder in the boil and nibs in the secondary. WAY too chocolatey for me. just did a stout and used chocolate malt and cocoa powder in the boil and it is pretty fantastic right now. i would have to look, but i think i used 8 ounces of powder in...

the yeast in a starter on a stir plate will be thoroughly mixed with the wort. most people throw the flask in the fridge and decant the liquid off the top. as far as shaking it and not getting activity, i assume you mean carbonation? the extra co2 is forced out of the starter by the stirring...

Not to hijack, but I have a golden strong that is stuck at 1.051. I haven't tried anything yet to move it along bsides rouse the yeast. I have a couple other ideas, but if nothing works, I was thinking of throwing brett in it. anyone have a particular favorite brett strain that would work...

nothing too fancy yet. a bausch and lomb off ebay. using slanted yeast and would like to be able to do cell counts before i pitch. yeah, i'm a nerd like that...

my buddies and i started a new thing recently where we get different craft brews we never had. we have a nice bottle shop locally that has a LOT of different stuff to try. it all started by each of us contributing a couple bottles. that first session we didnt finish everything, but everyone...

Here ya go: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/hop-quesadilla-305073/ That's my buddies thread who basically did the same thing as me. I recently started using a hop bag as well which helps. I found with just the screen on the diptube, my flow was very slow. I use the hop bag for my pellet...

I have one in my mash tun for visual uniformity (OCD) and for the sparging reason Yooper mentioned. I have a cheap gun cleaning kit that I use to clean the tube when I'm done. As far as sanitation, it's not a huge issue, you'll be boiling it anyway.

I made a hop blocker "taco" to use on my center pick up boil kettle. Both carboys are pretty clean with very minimal trub, if any. That is except for last night. Forgot to install said hop taco.

I remember this site, back in the day, when threads didn't involve getting someones panties in a wad. Just sayin.. On that note, I would either use the second runnings for a starter if you really feel you need a starter. I myself would direct pitch.

That style wrapping also is used for shipping Airtex fuel pumps. I'm a mechanic and see them regularly. Only difference is I'm not sure if it has the little flap on the top. If they do, I will start saving them.

Watching you guys on Facebook and want to be subscribed in this thread. Very awesome and something I hope to do someday. Good luck man!

I have a saison I just put in the secondary. Main reason is to get it off the yeast. I want to cold crash it, but my chest freezer is filled at the moment. I may just throw it in my keg fridge. Oh and I used Wyeast French saison 3711. Ended up at .998

I know this is an old thread, but I made a cabinet for the brewery. Cabinet is to mainly hold stirplates and glassware (mason jars, flasks, etc). I mounted the doors lastnight and took these pictures. I have glass cut to put on the doors. I am currently looking for a vinyl shop in my area to...

giving a buddy a six pack to take home only to have to pest him for the next year and a half to get your bottles back and when you do finally get them back, there is mold and cigarette butts in the bottom of them cause he never rinsed them out when he poured them. Yes its a run on sentence and...

I bought a cheap gun cleaning kit from Wal-Mart. the extensions are nice for pushing a rag through blow off tubes and the small brush attachments are great for cleaning smaller tubes.
