So it will be fine for a few days, or a few weeks, or a few months? I am in the same boat, but I have two weeks to go and was thinking about leaving the star san in the keg, lines, tap until I am ready to keg in two weeks. Is that ok to do? I was cleaning everything and rather than breaking...

Just don't leave the aeration stone in the wort for 2 minutes unattended...lol

TheH2, I actually have used the shake/wisk method successfully since day one and have made excellent beer. Just thought I would see if I could improve it with more o2. It's that whole get your basics down and then start tinkering thing...you know like the guys that master their water, etc? I...

Well the yeast is working and everything seems to be going fine. No blowoff needed as of yet which I was thinking I may have based on the o2, I love buckets as primaries!! Thanks for everyones feedback, I am no better off than I was yesterday..LOL..just kidding. Thanks a lot for all your...

So today I created a American Brown Ale and wanted to try my new oxygen set-up prior to pitching the yeast. So I hooked up my medical grade o2 cylinder to the regulator, broke out the 1/4 inch tubing and aeration stone and turned the regulator first to 2lpm and then seeing it was bubbling...

Well by the looks of your screen name I assume you may be a Hebert? My last name is the same, thus the "****" reference. Been a nickname of mine since birth, or pretty damn close. So would you recommend three ounces of Cascade also?

Does dry hopping impact the IBU's? If so, anyone know what that would do with my current IBU's?

Would you suggest an ounce or???

So I threw together the following IPA two weeks ago and am looking for some dry hop suggestions for it. Heebs Hopplosion Grains 11lbs Pale Malt 1.60lbs Caravienne 1.10lbs Cara-Pils/Dextrine Hops .25oz Warrior (FWH) .50oz Cascade (60min) .50oz Chinook (45min) .50oz Amarillo (35min) .25oz Citra...

IBrewmaster users, could you help me understand how to set-up a two step batch Sparge? Been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.

Wow...I am glad I found this. I kegged my first beer on Tuesday night and like you all I was sailing with a full bottle. Hit it with the co2 a few times to clear out the headspace, took the keg off gas and placed keg in the refrigerator to cool so I couldb carbonate the following morning...

Topher, sorry about not including the yeast. I used White Labs California Ale yeast. I pretty much assumed I would be in the "specialty" category but as I cycled through iBrewmasters BJCP classifications, the American Pilsner was the only thing that was within all the ranges. Knowing that I...

So when Huricane Irene hit my town I decided to try my hand at brewing my first all grain recipe. It's a hybrid style beer that was based on the Cream of Three Crops recipe found within these forums. The recipe I threw together is below... 7.5 lbs 2 Row 2 lbs Flaked Maize 1 lb Flaked Rice .5...

Now I was told that because my kegerator has a shorter beer line, roughly 5 feet, that I was to set the serving pressure at 7.5 psi. Something along the lines of 1.5psi per foot of line? Was that bad information? I am not in a position yet to change the length of my line and this was the line...

So my LHBS gave me some printed instructions on Force/Burst Carbing, where the techniques are somewhat different than what I have read on here or other sources and I am hoping for some clarification. 1. After adding the beer to the sanitized keg, set regulator gauge to the proper pressure for...

Seven, That is a 0.2 micron aeration stone which seems to be for aquarium pumps. I am using a medical oxygen bottle and regulator, will it still work. I see that the 0.5 aeration stone is for compressed systems, guess I am just looking for more clarification on which one I should get. Also...

Revvy, Seven was sharing an alternative to just the stone. The item he shared is the wand and stone combined, you don't need both I think. Aeration stones that I had been shopping for are roughly the same price so I might as well get the stone and wand combo thingee. I have not had issues...

Guess I will be placing my order for the aeration stone on Monday then. I assume you are getting good results with the one minute aeration? Is there such a thing as too much aeration?

I have been brewing beer for a year and my aeration techniques have consisted of whisking the wort, along with shaking the primary until my arms feel like they are about to fall off. I have access to oxygen tanks and regulators that are used to treat medical patients and was wondering if I am...

Yeah doing a google search for me revealed that they are the sanke style. It appears there are a few joints offering conversion kits for this type of set-up. Anything else I should be thinking about, or needing? Just plugged it in and she is cooling very well. I am really looking forward to...
