Have you calibrated/verified the temperatures you are mashing at? A degree or two lower, and you'll get pretty close to complete fermentation. This would be the simplest answer...

One of my kids said had the exact same problem with "truck." Only ever seemed to come out when we would be driving. With the windows down, and he's sitting that calling Dumb F*** and pointing. Hard not to laugh. Kids are great.

My youngest son, somewhere between 1 and 2, loved sticks. He would walk around the back yard telling anyone who would listen “look at my big stick” only he couldnt pronounce stick, so it become “look at my big dick!”

Ive done 5 days to glass. Ferment under pressure in the summer.

Zeroes have been typically hard to get before the semiconductor shortage. I read recently they are doing some redesigns to use more common parts. Edit to add they they sell enough units, I'm sure they get preferred vendor support.

Im running almost seven feet per run, and carbonate at 2.8 to 3.0 volumes.

I didnt get pineapple from my smash. I used the rest of my BRU with mosaic to make a WC IPA. I liked that a lot more than the smash.

Just mashed in a 10% rye IPA that I'm going to hop with Columbus and Chinook and use a belgian yeast on. :rock:

I tapped a keg of 45% malt oat IPA last night with nothing but whirpool additions. I think I added like 12-16 oz of hops that 🍺 The really weird thing is it dropped nearly clear. I wouldn't have expected that.

It's on my "beer bucket list" to try a small beer with wild yeast. Yeah...embrace the tart! :rock:

I've moved mostly to silicon tubing because of this. And maybe a bit of PTFE tubing. Edit: to add that I'm increasingly cautious around the plasticizers (phthalates) in vinyl tubing. Turns out phthalates are increasingly bad for you.

I hope this will be a good opportunity for some of the cottage maltsters like Mecca.

When I get off I work I'll be opening up my pump and cleaning out the stuck cocoa nibs. :mad:

Just last night I brewed a chocolate stout where I threw my toasted cocoa nibs right into my spike brew pot. I didn't think about the fact they would get sucked into my recirc/cooling loop and gum up the works. I mean really gum up the works. :eek: Next time I'm going to use the SS hop balls I have.

I just finished up my first attempt at a farmhouse. 2-row, organic Azure wheat, orange peal, coriander, and Belle saison (cause I had it).

I kegged an english ale, then i kegged an stout loosly based on Deschutes Obsidian, then i cleaned three fermenters, wiped out my keezer, filtered water for tomorrow, dry hopped an ipa with 8oz! Ordered more tri clamp fittings, and probably something else…..

Last pint of a double hopped hopped BRU-1 smash. still not impressed.

I got a bag of BRU-1 on black Friday to try. Brewed a SMASH with it to learn the BRU-1 flavor. I double dry hopped it, using copious amounts. I've got to say I'm not impressed. It's not a bad hop, but I like others a lot more. I think Lemondrop has much more interesting flavor than BRU-1. Am I...

Last night I drank the remainder of the mosaic/lemon drop IPA at the bottom of the fermenter. Got a glorious 3 pints of flat IPA :cool:. Kegged the day before.

Do an A/B experiment and let us know….
