Thank you... I see your point... I also put the wort through a stainless steel fine mes strainer while transferring from boil kettle to fermenter. That however doesn't always get 100% of the junk out. I will let you know how this ends up... Thanks again

I have been brewing for a few years but just started doing all grain in January, thanks to a generous Christmas present from my brother. I have made 3 batches prior to this and they have all turned out great so far. However, they were all clones and I figured it was time to build a recipe on...

No problem...just an fyi, this is the first all grain recipe I have designed myself...everything from the water to the recipe...I will find out soon enough how it turned out...let me know what you think please...all input is welcome Recipe: American Orange Wheat 2 Brewer: Fred Asst Brewer...

This is my first wheat beer so I was concerned cold crashing it would be poor form... Looks like I should be good to go Thanks

I was told a secondary fermenter is pointless for this style beer. So my question is, how long should I leave it in the primary before moving to the keg? Should I cold crash this to sink any yeast to the bottom before kegging?

I forgot my 5.5 gallons of Belgian ale =7560 gallons

5.5 gallons IPA 5.5 gallons Brown Ale 5.5 gallons Stout 5.5 gallons Orange Wheat =7524

I figured it out... I was pushing it at 30 psi... I cranked it up to 50 psi as recommended through a online calculator... It's perfect now... Nice big creamy head to my stout

Bump

Any suggestions?

I just hooked up my beer gas and my stout doesn't retain the head at all... Do I need to turn up the nitro pressure? Why does the head not stay... Does it have to be hooked up and dissolve into the beer?

Thank you!

What did your water profile look like... Soft, hard?

Any suggestions

I agree with soldering the fittings and using the hose bib fittings. Don want water leaking into the wort

I hear that... Just got done building a keezer and it wasn't cheap but it turned out great

And if you want to make a 5/8" immersion chiller just call them up and they will make sure you have all the pieces you need

They do... It makes you realize how much Home Depot and Lowes is making on their copper tubing. Also, they have kits that you can buy that includes all the pieces needed to build the wort chiller. And if you call them, I think the guys name is Aaron, he is helpful as well.

By the way... I would at least use 1/2 inch... It's much more efficient than 3/8...my 5/8 chiller may be a bit overkill but it takes boiling wort down to 68 degrees in only 7 minutes
