That's a great idea! How'd you make the ring? Just kegged the "hazy" pale ale that of course dropped clear over cold-crashing. I figure I'd cold-crash and leave behind all the crap that would drop out in the keg and clog my diptube anyway. Because the airlock didn't bubble and I had...

After some research, I've found a couple places that sell what appear to be exactly the same hooked lid clamp as is found on the SS BrewTech Brew Buckets, so I might snag 4 of them and try them out. For example...

That makes sense. Does anyone have a good link to tension clamps or a similar product that might work across the lid? Most of the links from earlier in the thread were dead, and what I can see on Amazon doesn't look like it's designed to incorporate a 90 degree turn.

Hi folks! After reading through this thread, I went ahead and bought two pots from Adventures in Homebrewing (10 gallon one here: https://www.homebrewing.org/10-Gallon-2-Weld-Volume-Marked-Brew-Pot_p_6827.html, and a 15 gallon version of it). I glued 3/8" ID silicone tubing around the rim...

USA, thanks!

Has anyone tried unmalted bulk white rice with enzymes for base grains for GF brews? My thought would be to do something similar to what Legume does with unmalted millet. The advantages of rice are that it's cheaper and easily available, and gelatinizes in the temperature range of both SebAmyl...

In the month or so since I posted this initially, I ran into descriptions of BrewTan B, as described by the guys over at Brulosophy (http://brulosophy.com/2018/02/12/the-brewtan-b-effect-pt-1-immediate-impact-on-various-beer-characteristics-exbeeriment-results/). Of particular interest is the...

Cool, I'll try Iglashion's Grapefruit IPA recipe again. Do you have any suggestions for a water profile? The recipe suggests gypsum for RO water, but I'd think CaCl to help with body, and hopefully decrease some of the sharpness from the sorghum. The eventual goal was to do GF kettle and...

Hi all, I have a bunch of liquid sorghum extract (the Northern Brewer Maillard stuff) that I'd like to use in a couple of beers, and was looking for some additional tips and tricks for reducing the metallic "twang" that people seem to get. I've read Iglashion's "Brewing Better Extract Beers"...

Does anyone know of a source to purchase a replacement tap shuttle for the chrome non-flow control Intertap faucets? In a genius move, I managed to lose the tap coupling washer (#8 at http://www.intertap.beer/Downloads/Intertap%208039.pdf) after disassembling for cleaning. I know there are...

As a fellow BIABer, this is a good writeup and some tasty-looking recipes. A couple of suggestions for would be BIAB folks: 1.) Be really careful about burning a hole in the bag when heating up to mash out. You can use a colander or something as a false bottom to keep the bag off the bottom of...

Thanks for the quick reply and good feedback, Legume! I'll follow your advice and give it another shot. One other question: using GF grains that have already been gelatinized (GF oats, minute rice), should I still add them during the 190F Termamyl rest, or stir them in at 140F with the AMG-300?

Hi all, Following advice I received and further forum reading, I took my first whack at a 5 gallon GF brew day. Following the method that Legume has laid out, I did the following: 1.) Crushed 11.5lb of bird seed (primarily millet, some milo/corn) in corona mill. 2.) Heated ~6 gallons of RO...

Thanks for the feedback. After conversing with White Labs, it looks like it'll be prohibitively expensive to order the WLN4100. An enzyme question for the confused: can I use standard powdered amylase enzyme after gelatinization, or is there something particular about the exo-alpha-amylase in...

Hi all, My girlfriend has recently been told by her doctor that she likely has Celiac, so I'm going to be trying out gluten-free brewing for her, and had a couple of questions for GF brewing vets: 1.) I understand that good cleaning and sani will let me use the same cold-side gear between...

I like the recipes! A couple of suggestions for newbies reading the comments: 1.) For the saison recipe, I'd suggest grabbing a packet of Belle Saison dry yeast, instead of the 3724. No starter, and no problems with it stalling out. Not as much character as the DuPont strains, but super easy...

After a conversation I had with a pro brewer here in town, I'm trying to understand how much sugars from wort are consumed during the kettle souring process. Briefly, I kettle-soured a gose (50% pils, 50% wheat, pre-acidified to pH 4.5 using lactic acid) using the Omega Lacto Blend for about 48...

I'd love some suggestions from folks for dry-hopping a NE-style IPA. I have some of the following: Centennial, Cascade, Columbus, Chinook, El Dorado, Simcoe, Rakau, and ADHA 527. My friend and I are brewing this on his BrewMagic, and splitting it into two different 5 gallon batches. I'll...

Just finished my first brew day with my WilserBrewer BIAB bags. I can't say enough about how much easier and better these high-quality bags made my brew day. Highly, highly recommended. The grain bag fit my kettle perfectly. For anyone who has used the cheap Home Depot 5 gallon paint strainer...
