I only pitch on the cake if it's a small to large beer. (brew the under 5, then use that cake for the 9%). and that's it since the second usually stresses the yeast. that said, I have never tested this since I make enough bad beer as it is.

when I start the boil after mashing, i take the grain bag out of my 10 gallon cooler and put it in the plastic bag the grains came in, turn it and empty the grains, tie the plastic bag and throw it in the trash, shake the bag out (outside) and then rinse in the tub, and hang it up to dry. Rinse...

I believe so. I just did a puree beer (just bottled, it's not ready yet) and siphoned on top of it instead of adding it to the fermenter and splashing all over.

3 sheep's!!!

It's okay.

In place of,. This year I have been playing with first wort hopping and think it does make a difference. Basically .75 ounces of hop, boil 58 minutes, then start with the rest. If you have never done lots of late hop additions these are great hope to do it with. And if you are dry hopping...

I have not yet, but i fill growlers or swingtop bottles and put them in the fridge. That said, I leave my growler filler tip on there all the time now, just put the hose on when filling.....

I use citra Lupullin powder quite often and love it. Both whirlpool and dry hop with it. I find better results when whirlpooling at around 140. The best beer was in a 9.02%, at first there was a little burn which I associated to the lupullin powder, but in about a week it went away, while...

Good Choice on the biscuit in my opinion. I think the grain bill is good, might add 1 lb flaked wheat.... The hops i would do a little differently. I'd First wort hop with Motueka, .75 oz 2 minutes left: 1 oz motukea, 1oz cascade 1oz lemondrop hopstand at 140-150 degrees for 20 minutes: 1 oz...

Yep, it'll be beer. if anything, it's a good practice for bottling, making sure your sanitation methods are good, and to see if you oxidize during bottling. I like to chill to fermentation temperatures, not just pitching temperatures. if i am pitching at 60, I try to chill to 60...

i use a 10 gallon cooler with a brew bag. i don't take numbers all the time, but this is the average. my lhbs I average 75-78% efficiency with a single running. i do the lots of water and let it sit method. so usually add 6 gallons to the cooler and grain, let sit for an hour. then drain...

look at yourbrew.org other than that, go to a local sign store, they will usually be able to accommodate your needs.

you need omega Hothead yeast.

when I dry hop I dump them in and leave them for 5 days, whether it's pellets, hash or lupallin cryo hop powder.

clean it, use an oven, not a stove top, not a grill (for the first time. Clean with wire brush, (soft wire brush) until it's down to metal, through your black char. Then clean with dish soap. Dry completely. Preheat oven to 325 Here is where people get different. Use vegetable or...

april 1st marriage here as well. (2000) I happily distribute my beer for tasting, but I normally don't get annoying responses, or negative responses. (and between 2016-current, at 41 different beers brewed)

add your priming sugar to 2 cups water, bring to a boil, stirring. once boiling pull from heat. clean and rinse your bottling bucket at this time. after it's sanitized, dump the sugar water into the bottling bucket, it does not need to cool to 75, then start siphoning your beer into the...

I can, used for my swimming pool AND my fish tank. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MSWCTDO/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I think when i bought it it said powder as well but did not come. I have used strips to compare, (and distilled water) and seems dead on, dead on enough as to not...
