Who here is using a counter flow chiller? I bought the exhillerator a few months back because cooling is my least favorite part of the brew day but I have been less then impressed. I had to add a bleeder valve in order to get the ring to work first of all. Then I don’t understand how people are...

Agrees with the don’t dump it you never know. I’m a fan of low bitterness beers. You do not have to add hops all throughout the boil. When I’m making NEIPAs or IPAs just to fit my taste I typically is a a very tiny amount of buttering hops or none at all. The majority of my hops are usually...

That’s great news. Do you think it will make it taste burnt and I need to clean it really well?

This is what we’re working with

Hey guys I’m in the middle of a brew day and made a really dumb move. I thought I switched over to my boil kettle and for heat but I turned my HLT heat on. It was glowing bright red when I realized and it looks burnt now. Is it a goner?

No definitely not going through all the kegs. But as I said I use that tank for cleaning the kegs and lines so maybe that’s the problem still I’m thinking one month there might be a problem

Hey guys I was wondering what you all think. I have a 6 tap keezer and I fly through my CO2 really fast like once a month. I use the co2 to pressurize kegs to clean them and the lines as well. I have everything super tight I regularly check and make sure the clamps are screwed as tight as they...

I know this thread is a few months old but I’ve been super curious about this lately since I’ve started using more liquid yeast. You really just dump your cooled wort into a dirty fermenter? I can’t rap my mind around it with all the stress on cleaning. I do understand that it should be from a...

Awesome thanks for the info I thought I might have to turn my cheap plastic fermenter into a dedicated sour fermenter.

I just ordered this yeast. Will this strain contaminate equipment?

Hmm maybe it’s weird because it’s really good and coconuty at first.

Has anyone ever gotten a soapy taste with Sabro hops? It was my first time using them and I definitely get the coconut which was awesome but then there is this soap aftertaste that’s not so great. I know you can get soap from being on yeast two long but this didn’t even sit in yeast for two weeks.

It’s been getting better ragtime I went from a all in one BIAB style vessel to a 3 vessel electric. With losses in the hoses and attempting fly sparging without the right equipment things weren’t going great but progressing each time. Today I switched over to batch sparging and saw a big...

No not BIAB my efficiency has not been good lately though so I was wondering about my crush but think it’s probably more adjusting to my new system. I have a cheap mill and when I take the gap any closer it produces a lot of flour and once it’s crushed to this size the mill won’t run it through...

I put in a recipe at a home brew shop and picked it up today. They accidentally milled it and I said that was no problem the grain is a complete recipe. I go home and find it looks like this. It looks like maybe someone put it next to a grain mill so I milled it myself. I have been wondering...

I like biscuit in my Stouts a lot and my pumpkin ale has a large amount probably around 20% it’s a really good pumpkin beer.

I have the electric SS brewtech setup it cost a fortune when all said and done. You will need to purchase a table as well and nothing really comes complete your going to realize you need more stuff. Mine is in my basement so getting a sink added a lot of money to the set up. If your not in an...

The only mess problem I had is you need to fill the can to the point that when you put the top on there is some overflow. Other than that nothing I wouldn’t buy the guard.
