I don't think that interruption will have an effect on the fermentability of the wort. You're currently at ~83% attenuation according to my math. Is your fermentation temperature control pretty good? I think that is a decent attenuation number, and you can wait for a couple of extra points to...

Sounds good. What do you mean by fill tank? You exchange CO2 tanks as you would a propane tank (unless you have found a place to fill one). So if you have a LHBS, find any CO2 tank on Craigslist and exchange it. Can save you some cash from buying a new tank. Also you will need a liquid ball...

Congrats! Did the same thing actually (much smaller scale it sounds like, and only had one brewery). Brewing ends up being a very small part of owning a brewery. I have been happy to focus more on my home setup and enjoying it more than ever! Good luck on the upcoming brew! Cheers!

I wouldn't worry. Yeast will settle out of solution and should clean up. Congrats on your first brew!

Of course, welcome! Let us know how it turns out if you are brewing it again!

Here is an experiment brulosophy did on dry hop length a while back. Shorter (2 days) had much more aroma than the 11 day dry hop. Cheers!

I think you may be dry hopping a bit too long. I have read that 4 days (or less) prior to keg (or bottle) is the sweet spot. Coupled with how you mentioned you had transferred (and likely lost some of those volatiles), this may be a reason your aroma was lacking. And yes on the WP. There is...

First, I think your hop combo is a good one! Been there though when you are expecting this great aroma and it falls short :( I would forget your 5 min additions and make them a WP addition (steep for 15 min). Also maybe try increasing the dry hop amount at least 50%, this should get you closer...

Definitely a fan of these. I do however wait until they are on sale, otherwise DME.

I had never heard of them either, but seem well-stocked from their website. Prices seem comparable, maybe grain is a bit pricier than NB.

I did hear Rebel Brewer in Plymouth is doing curbside. Have never heard of them, but a buddy needed some starsan today and told me about it.

Just posted the DIY vent hood thread, but thought I would share a couple before/after pics of the room itself. Was a storage room in the house we just moved into, and my fantastic wife agreed it would be a good place to brew beer as I make the move to electric brewing! Cheers! Before: After:

Hello All, Just completed my vent hood build on my way to full electric brewing. I didn't want to spend a bunch on a stainless steel hood so did some browsing at Menard's and came across these for $60. HDPE panels are waterproof, temperature resistant, mold resistant and can be shaped. I'm...

Yeah, and they just stopped free shipping too.. :/ Wish they would at least do curbside pickup. The Milwaukee store is.

Twin Cities as well, in Oakdale! Currently bummed that NB is closed, but hoping they can reopen soon! Thanks for he welcome!

Hello all! Been lurking on here for a long time and decided to start contributing, learned a lot of what I know on these forums! Been brewing for 5 years, a friend was doing it and I jumped right into all grain and haven't looked back. Opened a small brewry, sold said brewery, have really loved...

Haha thanks! Been a longtime lurker, time to start contributing. Cheers! :mug:

Do you have access to the lines for the laundry room? If so, I agree with Bobby M that PEX would be the way to go. I installed two of these yesterday to run PEX lines to my brew room, easy to install.

Been brewing for just over 5 years and started by brewing a breadth of styles (~45 currently). I also like reading the history of each beer type. Like most on this thread, I'll find a recipe for the style online or book (Designing Great Beers is fantastic) and tweak it. Now I'm revisiting my...
