    Fermentation chamber got too cold and stalled Wyeast 1968 batch

    I brewed an English mild last week using Wyeast 1968 and put it into my fermentation chamber in the garage. Everything started off fine, then the temperatures here in Texas dropped like a rock and my freezer fermentation temp dropped to 52 while I was out of town on business. I've since moved...

    Keg polishing question regarding polishing disc

    I recently came into possession of 3 keg gels, all of them stock dull stainless. I want to polish them up. I've read most of the threads here and started gathering supplies. Most of the threads mention you should use Gator discs on an angle grinder. I found the Fine disc, but can't find a...

    Harvesting commercial yeast, may have made my starter too strong

    This is my first attempt at harvesting commercial yeast and I think I've made a mistake. I want to make a Two Hearted clone, so I figured I'd harvest some yeast from 3 bottles of Midwestern Pale Ale that I have. I guess my mind went on autopilot when I was making the starter because I used...

    More dry hop volume = less dry hop time required?

    Sorry, I must have stated my question incorrectly. I want to get the effect of dry hopping for a week, but in 2 days time. Can I just add more hops to get the shortened effect?

    More dry hop volume = less dry hop time required?

    I have a beer that has finished fermentation and is now on schedule for dry hopping. I plan to dry hop with 2oz of Citra pellets prior to kegging. Now something has come up and I'd like to have this beer ready to go for a weekend event at my house. Can I get the same effect of 2oz of Citra dry...

    Forgot to check OG after boil

    I did my first AG brew this weekend, a SMASH Citra brew. The target OG was 1.055, after batch sparging I tested the 6.5 gallons of wort and came up with 1.044, but completely forgot to test again after boiling down to about 5 gallons (I'd had quite a few home brews while boiling). How much does...

    Is the tank pressure gauge accurate while in fridge?

    After 24 hours it seems to be holding steady. I dropped the pressure from 30psi to 11psi, the pressure the all knowing carbonation chart shows for my temp/desired carbonation level. Now it's just wait and see. I'll update the thread on Friday when I try it. Should I expect a perfect pour on the...

    Is the tank pressure gauge accurate while in fridge?

    I just bought a regulator/CO2 tank combo (I used the cartridges and naturally carbonated in the past) and found out first hand that you need to check for leaks. I drained an entire 5lb tank overnight. Back to the distributor to get the tank refilled. Not one to repeat the same mistake I...

    Deep Ellum IPA clone recipe?

    Does anyone have a DEBC IPA clone recipe they would like to share? I have never tried to make a clone recipe before but I used BeerSmith and some research from the web to match their ingredients/IBU/SRM. I haven't actually tried to make it yet, wondering if somebody already had one. If not...

    Redhook bottles

    +1 I actually like these bottles slightly better than Sierra Nevada bottles, mainly just because the labels come off easier.

    Siphon from brew kettle to primary?

    I'm doing my first partial mash today. I've only done extract in the past. I was wondering about the hops pellets I'm adding. Do they NEED to go into the fermenter? Should I siphon the wort from my kettle to the primary, which would kind of filter it?

    Did I just create a whole batch of bottle bombs?

    The package says 190grs I'll stash them in a couple of empty coolers I've got. That should help contain the blast if there's going to be one.
