need to work on mine

Damn is this week all bad for brewers?!!!!! My mill came in and my starter was sitting in a fridge for 2 motnhs and it was bad. Not enough time to make another starter.

I agree with maxstout, home brewing is past its pinnacle, from a hobbyist perspective. The thing is, i make beers I like to drink and have dialed in my beer to my palette so well i dont wanna drink other beers unless its for discovery purposes. I brew to drink my own beer and if someone ask...

Finally my blichmann grain mill, now to put it together.

Finally, a damn motorized grain mill, I hated the drill at the end and the grain dust blowing in my face. Should be here tomorrow, im excited lol.

Have no grain mill so nothing, might do a sparkling wine.

Just got back from the LHBS and they just got a shipment of grains so I grabbed 2 bags of avangard pils. Im good for a while now.

Will do, ill wait till it gets here and put the imperial stout grist thru it. I think its like 22.5 pounds for a 5.25 gallon recipe. I dont have a shipping date yet but ill throw it up when it gets here.

Had a bad week and this just happen to piss me off the most. Was considering the brewtech but the portly gentlemans review kinda turned me off, plus the short someone had on it. Just said if im gonna do it might as well do it right lmao.

I had grain dust blow in my face for the last damn time, chucking the drill and mill, ordered a blichmann.

Bumpity

Sanitizer cup, chocolate pale malt, caramel 40 and 120 and a brewtools steam hat, need to get my boil done faster since im rocking 2-120v outlets. Next is a grain mill, god i wish there wasnt such a big gap between consumer and brewhouse grain mills.

Im having the same problem but the actual chiller wont stop cooling the mixture. It just keeps dropping and dropping the temp

I do 4 minutes of oxygen at 1/4 lpm before fermentation and have never ever had a problem fermenting. Ive brewed a westy 12 and an imperial stout that were both in the 12s and nothing went wrong. Gonna do the imperial this weekend and the westy12 next weekend so they can sit in a dark corner...

I dont get why its so hard. I do 50/50 pils to wheat and run 3068 with a blow off tube without temp regulating. Ive learned that yeast kicks a bunch of banana at higher that 74 temps.

You could just make your own man, ive done it for some years already and its the best way to always keep extract in large amount on hand. Vodka and cacao nibs in a mason jar and let sit for a minimum of 3 months, 6 months has better flavor and so on and so on but 6 months is perfect for beer...

I like the flavor of the golden strong and all the esters that come wiht it, but im wondering how it would taste with a little bit of sweetness, i mean very little. Any thoughts

Gonna try and do a hefe dunkel today and an imperial stout on friday night. Lets see how it goes.

Honestly i cant help you on this one but i tried to "cheat" the system by cutting corners and at the end, it turned out a great beer MONTHS after it should have been done. So now im just gonna do what the instructions say.

Yeah expiration dates arent really a thing, ive revived a 2 year old pack of 3068 and it took about 5 or 6 days to wake up but then it took off. I have a pack of hothead that i dont really want but might just multiply and give away to some people around here.
