    Gelatin in keg?

    Yes, but don't move the keg around too much after. I tried this method a couple of times and all will be clear until the keg gets moved around. The first couple of glasses will be cloudy and after that it will be clear. I do not do this anymore because I often take a keg up to the cabin (3...

    Steelhead 2 pump

    I just purchased a Steelhead 2.0 pump and I am wondering how others mounted theirs with the absence of any mounting bracket on the pump?

    Worst day ever!!!

    I make a German Pils with about the same mash temps except the 145 is done for 40 min. and my FG comes out around 1.049ish. That mash schedule has by far produced the best results for my German style lagers without having to get into a decoction mash. I double grind my grain you may want to take...

    Adjusting pH with BIAB and Bru'n

    Looks like you need to add some Gypsum and Lactic acid to get to what your looking for. I would just get the calcium close to your profile with the gypsum and don't worry about hitting the 300 on the sulfate (I have never gone that high with the sulfate). So you just go to the water additions...

    Does krausen height have anything to do with healthy fermentation?

    I recently brewed a beer where I had zero kräusen which I have never had happen but I thought it was because of the yeast I used WLP515. I reserved and froze a couple of quarts of the wort to use for a starter and later pitched WLP002 into it and that starter had zero Krausen also so I now think...

    Antwerp Ale Yeast (WLP515)

    I place the probe mid way on the carboy. Took a FG reading and the beer tasted really good and I plan to save some of the yeast. It will be interesting to see how the next one ferments.

    Antwerp Ale Yeast (WLP515)

    Made a beer yesterday with Antwerp Ale Yeast (WLP515) and it is bubbling away nice but there is zero kräusen on top. I cant say I have ever had an ale ferment that way before. Is that typical for that yeast? It is fermenting at 68 degrees (Room Temp). I did make a starter for this beer and it...

    Sanitize bottles ahead of time?

    What I do is right after I pour a beer from my swing top bottles is rinse them really good with hot tap water and then fill them 1/8 to 1/4 with Star San tip it upside down with the cap held loose so a little of the solution leaks out then cap it and give it a good shake. Then the next time I...

    Wild hops upstate ny

    Try brewing a lighter beer (smash-single malt and single hop)with them guessing that they have AA of about 6 or 7ish going a little lighter on the bittering just in case and then taste it. I personally would dry the hops first but that is just my preference as I seem to pickup a grassy note when...

    First time out- brewing my hops

    I would take your green hops and spread them out on window screens elevated off the ground in your garage or somewhere dry and without direct sunlight and have a fan on a low setting blowing air across them until they are dry with almost no moisture left in them. I then vacuum seal them and put...

    Anyone Eating Grains Prior to Brewing?

    My wife and I just came back from a walk and we went into a farmers field to sample some of the grains that were about to be harvested. We think it was wheat. I always sample my grain before I grind it but I never thought of eating it as a snack but it might make a good addition to the granola...
