    Oats without haze

    IME the rest and a long time cold conditioning in a keg can clear it up nicely, but not crystal clear.

    How long for krausen to fall?

    Normally I would say it should have fallen by now, BUT, I have an APA I pitched on July 5th that is still chugging and has krausen. US 05 65° first 4 days, 68° since. Go figure! Guess this is one of those every beer is different and does its own thing moments. The only thing out of the ordinary...

    Anyone gotten the 40% off at HomeBrewSupply.com to work?

    I sure hope not. They are not my LBS but are in the general vicinity. I bought 8oz of hops and the code worked.

    Old Hops (I think cascade)

    Just do a simple SMASH. I usually make starter wort BIAB on the stovetop with a paint strainer bag. 1lb 11oz 2 row with 1.5 gallons of water. Comes in around 1.042 so use a little more malt. Calculate some hop additions and handle it like a brew. Split it into 2 vessels if you need to. A taste...

    Simple answer to brewing water adjustments?

    I find I need to add epsom salt to get a balanced chloride/sulfate ratio

    Old Hops (I think cascade)

    When I find myself in situations like this I try to make use of the situation. If I were you id make a small batch to test them and also use it as a yeast starter. Make a gallon batch hopped about 35 ibu, taste it and harvest the yeast. If you are lucky you will find the hops are usable and have...

    Using lactic acid to reduce mash pH, how to use correctly?

    That looks high to me. I used to use lactic acid in the mash. I would take a sample after 5 min and add 1ml at a time. Switched to acid malt and havent looked back. Still put lactic acid in my sparge water.

    Some trouble shooting help

    I use 810 alot and have never had krausen after 4 weeks. I have also never dry hopped it. Take a taste and gravity sample. See what that tells you.

    total rookie here - starters in a growler??

    Go find a gallon of juice or something in a gallon glass jug. Use the gallon jug to make a 3L starter. Put 1/3 of the starter in a sanitized jar and pitch 2/3 in your brew. Save the 1/3 for a starter for another brew.

    Grapefruit radler from failed pilsner?

    I have added up to 3/4 oz of 100% unsweetened grapefruit juice at bottling(12oz). I added priming sugar for 2.0 carbonation. It was a little light on carbonation and muted the hops, but there ws grapefruit flavor on the back end.

    Yeast starter better WITHOUT stirplate?!

    Oooh! Sometimes I run it without a flask on it! I am mesmerized by the little green light! LOL!

    Yeast starter better WITHOUT stirplate?!

    I run my stir plate for awhile before I pitch. Then for a short while after. Then just let it go on its own. It oxygenates the wort, then stirs the sleepy yeast into suspension. Have had great results.
