    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I didn’t consider malted oats... hmm that may be it. They are 4*Lovibond that’s pretty light too. Are the considered a base malt or specialty malt?

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I've been creeping them on instagram to see if they accidentally slip any info on the recipes, and most of their beers the say 40-50% oats(type not specified). That seem nuts to me, i have never used more than the low 20's percent range. Has anyone ever tried a 50% flaked oat grain bill for a...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Next NEIPA Recipe- I want to go after that crazy color Electric Brewery is putting out. Has anyone know what base malts these guys may use to get so bright and neon light color. I am thinking all pilsen malt and flaked oats and flaked rice.

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    Forced Diacetyl test passed with none detected!!! Gravity is at 1026 but bubbles still going, one single bubble every 5-6 seconds. Not sure if I should start my soft crash to 60* today or not. It’s only 4-5 gravity points from where I anticipated but who knows how long it will take? Anyone...

    Oxygen Tanks

    Instead of the small red O2 tanks you can buy at the home depot, i was thinking of buying a bigger one. Found this one on craigslist for $25. Does anyone use them, if so how do you get them re-filled? Can a welding shop fill them just like they would fill you CO2 tanks? Are these worth buying or...

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    Just made another mod to my fermenter cap to have a pressure release. I wanted to some how mount one from a corny keg but the keg pressure releasing valve had weird plastic threads. So I used a tire valve stem I had laying around. Home brew garage tinkering at it finest lol. I hope it works.

    Rigged up a valve that my Co2 line can direct screw in to. I think it will work it it can hold a seal ok. I will test it during my cold crash.

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    Hmm I think I may make something then. Off to the brew shop to see if I can get a gas port and mount it to the lid. 3 psi should not be too much for my FV...... I hope

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    I will do a diacetyl test just to confirm, it never hurts and its easy too. The only thing i cannt do is put any pressure on the brew, i am not set up to do this. So here is my plan to finish this big brew off: 4/12/19 Raise to 72*, (D rest day #1) 4/13/19 Hold @ 72*, (D rest day #2) 4/14/19...

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    I thought 4 days seemed fast too, i am not sure whats typical for this yeast, its my first time trying it out. I am going to take a SG reading tonight to see evactally where it is at. If WL001 attenuates per white labs website it should hit FG around 1022 if i get 80% attenuation. My OG was...

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    I have the 7.9 gallon Fastferment :( so no pressurizing with this rig. This morning i just bumped the temp to 70* i was planning on bumping it up to 71* Saturday and to 72* Sunday. Is 72* too high for a D rest with WL001? I have read to D rest for between 3-5 days, so is 5 days ok just to be...

    Last 1/3 of ale fermentation with conical steps

    Hey all I am currently on day 4 of fermentation for my latest DIPA. Right now the brew is 2/3’s complete, and I had a few questions on what order I need to do things to finish this beer properly. I used WL001 for my yeast. I started off at 67and rose the temp to 68 yesterday when high krausen...

    eBIAB Mashing Temps with New PID Controller

    I did have the lid off and do not have and insulation on my kettle. I will have to add some good idea. For my hoses they are not very long. I have 2 oof them they are about 3 ft each. What is best to use to insulate the hoses. They are 1/2” silicon

    eBIAB Mashing Temps with New PID Controller

    I recirculated about 60% of the time. It seemed like that may have been causing my mash temp to drop lower than 154. It was from the heat loss in my pump/tube lines before the wort hit the top of the mash.

    eBIAB Mashing Temps with New PID Controller

    eBIAB UPDATE: After some calibration and tuning my system it is now pretty close. I have a few questions. This weekend i did a brew, my target mash was 154*F so i set my PID to 154. Intermittently I measured the temp and my grist(top 6" of my grain/water mixture in the kettle) with a hand held...
