So anybody seen conan finish in 3 days? Krausen dropped after 48 hrs. I don't want to check the gravity as Im worried I will see 1.015 to 1.018... what have folks done in cases where attenuation doesn't come around. I wouldnt do anything until day 7 or so but I'm trying to prepare myself as...

Sold over the weekend.

Bump, I should note that I made a paste of bar keepers friend prior to soldering the inside. At this point, I'm looking for best offer to get them out of the garage.

Full disclosure these are used keggles. They have 2 npt fittings each. Per prior owner they were welded using a steel rod. I was not a huge fan on how things looked on the inside so I tried my hand a silver soldering. Of all the welds, one has a slow leak which I purposefully use/used as my...

Yeah I used 1318 on a 9 % porter... it came in about 4 to 5 point greater than I wanted so ended around 8.4 %.... I fermented at 64 but started to bump at 72 hrs.... I'm guessing like the conan I probably should have started around 48 hrs. UOTE=surgical_ass;7416236]Slightly off topic...

I did and honestly not sure I got the seal I wanted... but figured well I wouldn't have to worry about o2 coming in

Maybe it wasn't sealed up well enough... thanks again.

I placed the pellets in a bag with floss it was probably half way in the volume of beer. Post were tight. Beer was foaming. Seemed like it was transferring way too quick potentially. I don't think there were any debris issues. I didn't do a starter as I used giga 1st gen if you will.

Well braufessor, if the conan had attenuated like I wanted I think I might have gotten it right and it's all because of you. By the way, jumping the beer was a mess. Any recommendations... I got major foaming. Not sure what I did wrong or if that's just the nature of the beast.

Pb n j stout... Why.... because I haven't used powdered pb2 yet and really the question should be why not ;)

I did magnum for bittering and galaxy. I will say this... dry hopping was too strong in my blonde and completely overwhelmed the brew. Next time I wouldn't do more than an ounce tops at dry hopping.

Tree house, homebrews and BBQ sauce. Thank you Johnnyruk!

Yeah I was hoping to salvage the yeast cake but when I dry hopped I used pellets and just tossed them in the carboy as you can imagine 3 Oz of pellets left quite the layer at the bottom. I tried washing but there was too much debris. I will have to get more, and like you said use it on a...

So moved my beer to the dry hop keg with the plan of jumping it to the serving keg in 7 days. OG was 1.061 but only got to 1.018 at 2 weeks. Obviously beer is coming off sweet compared to projected abv 5.7 to 5.9ish. I held conan at 63 for 3 day and bumped to 68 over the next 3 days. Did I...

Did one tonight 150 grams of DME but used 8 cups of filtered water to account for boil off. Boiled for approx 15 minutes landed on 1500 mLs. Poured my yeast cake from prior starter landed at 1800 mLs. Its on the stir plate as we speak.

Make sure to throw some answer brewpub in their if you are around Richmond. I visit from time to time when I'm in virginia. The brewer there is putting out some solid ipas....

PA distribution looking for the above namely tropicalia plus the other hard to finds. Also looking for nebco and noda.

I would say no but the market is getting crowded in various areas of the country. I think if you aren't making good beer you better figure it out because beer enthusiasts are getting pickier and its unclear to me how many new beer drinkers can be convinced to join the craft beer movemeent. I've...

Boom, thank you TobyG!

Glad everything got there timely and safe.
