I noticed that in one of my pale ales lattely. It fades over time and becomes more pleasent. Pretty sure it's from the Cascade in my recipe.

I use a blichmann floor burner with leg extensions. Works awesome!

So.....how many days should I degass? I've done 4 days, twice a day so far. Keep going?

How often and for how many days do you guys degass your meads?

Hey guys, Just a quick question....If your suppose to rehydrate dry yeast in 104deg water or so for 15 min, do you wait for it to cool down before you pitch it into your 68deg wort or must?

I brew every other week. I have four cornies on tap now, one largering, and a brown ale in primary right now.

Ok great.....thank you everyone!

On my brewing schedule for Sept.

Ok....so I understand the different options now for measuring lactic acid. Let's say Bru'n water has predicted a ph of 5.4 and I measure a ph of 5.5 after about ten min. Are you saying I should go under that profile I have in Bru'n water for that recipe and and see how much lactic acid it...

Hello everyone, I've been brewing for awhile now using Bru'n Water, RO water and brewing salts to get the right PH. I've been thinminv about using some lactic acid to adjust the mash PH if the predicted PH is off. How do you go about measuring it out? And how do you know how much to add when the...

I'm gonna brew this the end of Aug

I've noticed it on wy1007 and wy2565. Both were at 14-16 days.

Is it normal for some strians of yeast to not drop out? I have noticed a few that stay on top even after FG is reached. Do I need to do anything special with these strians?.....cold crash maybe?

That's what I always do

Sounds like your not creating a full siphon. Make sure you have drain hose lower than the keggle, open the valve full open and make sure there is no air in the drain hose.....you should get a full siphon that way. Also make sure that you don't have any leaks in your piping.

A keggle is a keg that you convert into a brew kettle. You cut a hole in the top and some valves, dip tube, sightglass, thermometer.....whatever you like. They are a 15.5Gal pot when done.

That's what I do with my keggle. I was thinking about using one of these,but I want to be able to cover it during the chill.

Zane, Do you cover you keggle when your chilling?

I ferment in my basement. The floor is at 58deg and I use a fermwrap with a STC-1000 to keep my temps within +/-1 deg. The floor provides the cooling aspect and the wrap and controller keep it where it's set to.

I use a keggle and cover it with a sleeping bag during the mash.
