Had a horrible time with CO2 and my new Kegland kegerator and went through many tanks before discovering 1) cannot have any bends leading to the connections (last 3" or so must be straight leading into the push-in connector), and 2) locking tabs help a lot (Finding DuoTight Compatible Locking...

I have a Saison Solera going in a 0.5BBL foeder. I ferment in a SS conical with the Mad Fermentationist Saison Blend, which includes Brett and Lacto. Hop wise, I shoot for about 30 IBUs using a lot of Nelson Sauvin & Saaz late additions. After 6 months of aging, the Brett is more prominent that...

I primarily use two 5 gallon jugs that fit in my sink for RO filling. Never cleaned one, cleaned the other with Oxyclean when new. The Oxyclean one, after more flushing that I can count, still smells like Oxyclean. I will not ever do that again.

I have a Brewzilla 65L and have done many 5 to 10 gallon batches in it. It seems happiest with 10-14 pounds of malt, and efficiency goes down the more you add. For a typical 5 gallon batch of normal gravity wort, I usually get between 75-80% mash efficiency, and a few times I have saw 83%...

For those that have tried Aromazyme, when did you add it? Did you rehydrate it beforehand, or just sprinkle on the wort/beer? It seems the 5g/hltr equate to about 1 gram per 5 gallon batch. Seems I could add that with the yeast, or later with the dry hops. As I pressure ferment many Chico...

Nothing like reawakening a 9 year old thread. Just poured this incredible beer (SN Narwhal) and I need to brew this for the holiday season 2022. Please tell me there is a semi-standardized recipe of this wonderful creation! Has anyone nailed the grain bill? Best choice yeast? There are plenty...

If your yeast already flocculated, and the pH now too low to pitch new yeast, you may be stuck. Doesn't mean it will not taste great. Would not hurt to rehydrate a couple packets of US-05 and pouring that in.

I brew with a Brewzilla 65L, using the internal pump for everything. I run a camlock fittings and silicone tubing to my CF chiller after the boil has ended, and then a return line to the Brewzilla or the fermenter. I can insert my Hoprocket before the chiller, but it's either there from boil-out...

Harbottle Brewing (Harbottle Brewing Company Home and Merchandise) in Tucson has a fantastic Black IPA called "Blindside" that I am loving right now. If you are near Tucson, drop by a pickup a four pack (or more...fantastic up and coming brewery). While I really like Black IPAs, it's not a...

Writing BYO didn't yield a response and no consensus that I see here. I am going to shoot for 41 IBUs total, but only 35 from bittering additions (the rest is hopstand). I have never used K-97 yeast before, but I'll give that a go too.

When FWH hop additions are made in a 75 min boil, I show higher IBU contributions from that as opposed to the same hop amount added at 60 minutes. Seems to make sense, but maybe I am missing something. Not counting the Hopstand additions makes sense, but doesn’t get me down to 35 IBUs. Ashton...

For those that brewed this before, what did your brewing software say the IBUs actually were? The online recipies show 35 IBUs, but I am way above that when I enter everything in Brewfather using Tinseth calculations (63 IBUs). Just brew it at 63 IBUs? Hard to get much lower when using...

Anyone seen this "in the wild" yet? My LHBS doesn't have it yet. I am looking for a low attenuating Saison yeast (to primary ferement beer that will then go into a Brett Saison solera foeder) and this looks perfect.

Cord is about 4' in length. I got an extension cord off of Amazon for not too much. As for height, I found that sitting the Brewzilla on the floor made seeing the screen really difficult. I bought a SSBrewTech BrewCube to sit the Brewzilla on, and the height is perfect. With it sitting on the...

Bump…anyone else?

I am looking at brewing this recipe soon and considering a few changes/problems in brewing it. First, not sure about the K-97 yeast. I've never used it before and wondering if some of the more recent Hazy IPA yeasts (like Cosmic Punch) might be a better match. Second, I've never added sucrose...

I saw the first RED FLAG's with F-35s used, and no one had ever seen the F-22s more confused. No, it's not the best fighter at the merge--wasn't ever built purely to fight at the merge, though it sure can do it (with heavy energy bleed off in the first turn). It's got stubby wings, not awesome...

Over-priced? Not to buy in comparison to 4th Gen offerings. Way to expensive to sustain over time, but that's a different thing. Under-performing? How, and where did you get your info? I have first hand, in the field, warfighter knowledge and it doesn't mirror this statement. In fact, I've been...

Just used this yeast (WLP833) for the first time on a 1.095 OG Dopplebock. It's still chuggin after 16 days in the primary, down to 1.027 as of right now (according to my Tilt). I've never seen a yeast ferment more slowly, and this was after pure O2 oxygenation, yeast nutrient added and a 4L...

They were 1.071, 1.056 and 1.067 (which was the Xmas Ale). To be clear, they all turned out okay once the DMS-like flavor dropped out, which did occur for all three after about 4-6 weeks. Strange, as I've never had that happen before in years of homebrewing, but it did seem consistent. I...
