I only secondary when adding fruit. I've never used a secondary with this beer and I've usually kegged it after a week. there isn't much for the yeast to munch on so they are usually finished in 5 days. as for priming, just go to beersmith or some other website with a priming calculator. put...

most of my summer beers are supposed to be in the 4-4.5% range so i can sit out on the deck and enjoy a few without too many consequences. the lutra surprised me with how low it took the beer down and i mashed in at 156 for this batch.

this. I have a 6 tap kegerator and I think 14 kegs now with a little more than half being pin-lock. but with MFL's i can easily use either. I do have a wrench and I do make sure they are snug every time i move them. I have had more tanks drain from bad o-rings on post than loose MFP's.

I'm going to keg a simple centennial/cascade ale made with pale ale and some instant rice and fermented with lutra this weekend. sample tastes very crisp and clean with just a little hops to it at 4.9%. I'm going to pour a batch of biermuncher's centennial blonde onto the yeast cake tomorrow...

when i do seltzer it's just yeast, sugar, and nutrient. followed by additional nutrient daily to keep things chugging along. i've read the same thing about yeast losing it's ability to ferment complex sugars when you use it in a starter. i've never tried to re-use yeast from wine, seltzer, and...

I have a beer made with lutra kviek in the fermenter. it'll get kegged this weekend. looks like i'm going to pour this on top of it since i also have another high temp pale ale going in this weekend ( tropical IPA) will report back.

brewed a 10 gallon batch with pale ale and some instant rice on Thursday. started cold crashing yesterday. but man it fermented down to .002 from 1.045. that's crazy fast. the hydro sample was 85 degrees though so i couldn't tell you how it tasted because hot beer.....blech. i'll give it a few...

I just finished making a starter from my package of luthra that came in and I plan to brew 11 gallons of A session ale Tomorrow Using just pale malt with a little bit of instant rice and some Cascade Hopps. Only doing this because my firm chamber is at 85° because fermenting something with...

I had this problem also I found a used triple regulator perlic setup on ebay and it made them so much better. I have a dual regulator coming off the tank so I can have 4 different pressures which I usually don't need until my big beers get hooked up in the early winter. With my portable dual keg...

Rock me by great white is on the radio now

i've never had a shoot cutting survive. but a shoot with a section of root? got two of them that have started to show growth after a few weeks of not doing anything.

heheheheheh. i'm in the process of trying to brew a batch every other day since i work from home i can mill and mash on my lunch. have to let kegs naturally carbonate in basement while i replace gaskets on my keggorator. i just bought 50lbs of pale malt for $55 from the home brew shop.

wondering this also.

they also tend to pop off if you have a lot of moisture in your basement.

this is why i upgraded to a 25 gallon pot. 10-15 gallon batches at once.

i have a few mr beer fermenters. I use them for small test batches. easy to bottle from. but i got them from a thrift store so old. I made one of the beers that came with once. it didn't taste very good. I do have a few kits someone gave me last yrs. I think i'll make them just to see how they...

I can't keep up with all the new filaments that have come out recently.

Thanks. it did come out surprisingly good. I rubbed it down with a little Oak wood stain (it took some of the color) then clear coated it.

i had to replace my lid on mine and was so happy when i found out it uses a standard gamma.
