    Screen print ink/ painting on bottles

    Anyone had any luck screen printing or painting logos on their bottles? All I am finding online are examples of inks and paints that require either high temp firing in a kiln to adhere the inks to the bottles, or using screen print ink and a clear coat on top afterwards. I don't have access to a...

    Possible CO2 leak from corks

    I think its tapered. I just uncorked one, the cork itself is tapered towards the bottom. :confused:

    Possible CO2 leak from corks

    I bottled a sour beer almost 2 months ago, using 750 ml brown bottles that can be capped with regular crown caps. I figured it would be ok to use corks instead (maybe this was my first mistake), using a floor corker, they are just about halfway in, mushrooming at the top. Finished with a wire...

    Salvage un-carbed sour

    Is it possible that CO2 is escaping the corks? The ones I used were designed for Belgian beer bottles, which I used, and they look to be really tight in there.

    Salvage un-carbed sour

    I’m starting to think I either it didn’t mix in well enough, or maybe the amounts were off.

    Salvage un-carbed sour

    If the gravity reading is 1.000, indicating no more fermentable sugars, then would this really help? I’m thinking it needs a new dose of sugar in each bottle. I’m not sure what the best method would be to do this.

    Salvage un-carbed sour

    I barrel aged a golden sour with a brettanomyces blend for several months, and it finished at 1.000. Come bottling day, I used Lallemand's CBC-1 bottle conditioning yeast, and according to their calculator, I pitched 1.89 grams of the rehydrated yeast with 4.5 oz of corn sugar per 5 gallons...

    DIY Spike Conical Extension Legs

    Any engineers or DIY'ers out there have some ideas for replicating the extension legs for a Spike Brewing conical? https://spikebrewing.com/collections/conical-accessories/products/leg-extensions I can get casters with a male threaded rod pretty cheap, but I want to make sure whatever legs I...

    Ice build up in DIY glycol chiller

    thanks everyone for the replies! definitely more humid these past couple months. The container is pretty tightly sealed, but I could try to fill it up to the top with the glycol mixture to cover more of the evaporator coil. I thawed the system out and started over, and I am able to get lower...

    Ice build up in DIY glycol chiller

    Bumping to see if anyone has any advice on how to prevent the frost build up on the condenser. I turned it off to let it melt away, but is there something I can do to prevent this?

    Ice build up in DIY glycol chiller

    Will this cause any serious issues with performance? Ice build up pretty bad on the pipe leading to the condenser, and then tons on the condenser itself. I had it set to 25 degrees, but it cannot seem to get any lower than 29 right now. Ambient temp in the brew space is around 80, but I haven’t...

    Small clusters near mature hop cones

    Wow thank you! That’s exactly it. Seems like these seeds are sterile and won’t affect neighboring hops.

    Small clusters near mature hop cones

    My 6 year old Centennials are getting close to being ready for a first harvest, but I noticed these large clusters of small pods near the matured cones. To me they look different from the very early stages of the current cones. Are these a whole second yield waiting to mature, or is this just...
