I've been looking at the Brewer's Edge Mash and Boil myself. I used to do all-grain with propane, a large kettle, and an igloo mash tun cooler. I had a garage at the time and the space to do it. Getting back into brewing, and now I live in a high-rise. It has it's pros, but open flames and...

Cool! Thanks makes sense. Eager now for my next batch with proper hop additions :mug:

Is this because the oils and other compounds contributing to the aroma/flavor are not likely to change like the alpha acids?

I've been brewing for a while now, but something struck me that I never gave a whole lot of thought to before. A lot of recipe planners and recipes I use quote a specific AA unit for the hops (in addition to quantities). I've usually just thrown in the quantity called for and figured it was...

No words.. That is freakin awesome

I haven't used it with anything but the 2L Erlenmeyer flask. It's able to generate a pretty good whirlpool without throwing the bar, but I'm not sure how it would perform with a vessel with a curved bottom.

Maiden voyage with my new SOFC build: Not the prettiest, the saw blade we used to cut the foamboard wasn't long enough, so for each cut we had to flip it over and cut the other side... which resulted it some uneven faces where it had been cut.. I used roofing flashing tape as added...

I picked up this stir plate on amazon recently and thought I would pass it on: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K24X5P/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Super cheap and so far it's worked great. I've ran two starters on it so far, one of them a two-stepper, each with 36-hour runs between cold...

That makes sense. They did seem to freeze quicker, but they were mostly mush by morning.

Nice!! I wish I had the room for something like that.

I just recently built a new son of fermentation chiller, maiden voyage was supposed to be tonight, and I neglected to buy some gallon jugs of water and freeze them ahead of time... I had a similar build years ago and I recall the gallon jugs working ok for a while, but eventually splitting and...

Will do!

Yeah, if I had more carboys around and had the rotation space for it, and if it was not for a slightly special occasion and I wasn't planning on letting it age until Feb., I might not have dumped it. Good luck with yours! I say if you've got the room for it and it's not holding up any future...

You know I haven't actually had any La Fin Du Monde in at least 4 or 5 years now, but I remember it being one of the best beers I've ever tasted. I was looking for a decent trappist-style recipe to try for the first time and came across that clone. Not sure about the finished product yet, but...

Well, I didn't use a sanitized paddle or sample thief when I checked it again, so I'm sure it was contaminated. Plus, it was underpitched with yeast that was manufactured in April.. I just didn't want to wait 4 months for a beer that wasn't going to be as good as it should have been. It's been 4...

I started with 3 gallons in the kettle. After adding in the LME, it was probably closer to around 4 gallons during the boil. I don't know how much was left after the boil, but it was probably back down to around 3 gallons, and then topped up to 5.

It also happens to be the first time I've ever used LME, only ever used DME in the past. The only thing I can think of is the two additional pounds of sugar (belgian candi and cane), although the calculator should have captured those, and the target OG it gave me was very close to what the...

Had my first brew day this weekend after not brewing for a good number of years. Was doing all-grain before but I no longer have the equipment nor the space, so I'm easing back in with a few extract batches before going back to partial-mash. In any case, I found a La Fin du Monde clone extract...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question, didn't know where else to ask. Currently in the process of designing an electric HERMS setup, and am trying to cost-engineer it as much as possible for the first iteration, and then add fancier pieces down the road. I was planning at...

Well, I went to my LHBS, which just recently became a bar as well!! (high quality brews and growlers to take home!!), and after discussion of the methods of adding bentonite, I decided to go with isinglass. No one could give me a clear description of how to go about it with bentonite.... About...
