Probably not ready yet but how did the brew go? Anxious to clone this but I think ill wait and see how your last recipe turned out.

So if I throw an IPA in there with the stout and tape the probe to it...my ambient inside the chamber might drop all the way to low 40s in order to keep that IPA fermenting at 65 (WLP001 is a beast). That means my stout temp, which is supposed to be at 64 degrees for 3 weeks, is going to drop...

Hi, I have had Yooper's Oatmeal Stout in my fermentation chamber for one week. Recipe calls for 3 weeks at 64 degrees. I want to brew an IPA next weekend, but its not really possible to manage two different fermentation temperatures in one chamber. Now, I've read multiple times that...

All of my Grainfather beers have been hazy as well. Most of them get crystal clear as the beer warms up in my glass, meaning we are both probably getting chill haze. I haven't tried fining with gelatin yet, but have heard that can solve the issue.

Does anyone else have issues with their FGs finishing way low? I ferment cool and slow, but all my GF brews are finishing well below my target. For example, my last IPA with 001 finished at 1.006 and my target was 1.012. The only thing I can think of is that my mash temp is actually much...

Long story short - I made an error when creating a recipe in Brewer's Friend and mashed with 1 less pound of 2 row than I needed to hit my desired OG. I threw in some centennial at 5 mins left in boil, took the OG at end of boil, and realized my OG was really low. Unfortunately I didn't have...

I havent used BKF in a while but doesnt it say on the back to not leave on the surface for more than a minute before rinsing?

I am driving from Orange County to Scottsdale, AZ tomorrow morning and figured if there is something special in between, I might as well make a pit stop. I've heard Phoenix/Scottsdale area isn't great when it comes to breweries. Does any know of something on the way that is worth stopping at...

I overcarbed my first couple kegged beers and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out what was happening. Coming out very foamy, even when I dropped PSI to 2, and then beer was totally flat. I was following the "30psi for 1-2 days and then drop to serving pressure" plan, but it didn't occur...

Curious about this as well.

Is the beer coming out of the tap super foamy but the beer itself is totally flat? If so, your beer is over carbed.

Instead of the fermenter, mine went into the garbage disposal, which was promptly turned on by my girlfriend. FYI, a few major websites sell stir bars for $5-10 plus shipping but I emailed Stir Starters directly and I had a new one in my mailbox 3 days later for $2.50 shipped.

Hot damn that sounds like one hell of a brew day. That thing better turn out amazing haha.

Apparently for the GF, you just heat strike water and then lower the basket slowly into the water (the basket is filled with all the grain). Id like to see a video to see exactly how it's done.

I'm seeing reports on Facebook of a couple people mashing in on their GF's using the 'underletting' method. Does anyone here do that? It sounds like something I'd really like to try.

I have my probe taped to the side with bubble wrap over. I also have a fermometer on the front. The temp controller readout and the fermometer are almost always the same, sometimes +/- 1 degree F. That seems good enough for me. I think the thermowell might be a little overkill, but thats just...

It is my man. You will be very pleased.

I haven't really tested this. I have cracked one 2 days after using the perlick bottle filler, and it was fine. I haven't really gone more than 2 days as I am not purging with Co2 first or anything. Maybe someone can shed some more light, but I doubt they would stay good for more than 4-5...

Buy a brand new GE 7.0 chest freezer because your old one bit the dust and assume the old collar would fit. Checking dimensions prior to buying is for suckers.... Don't do that.

Yep, my bad. Thanks for updating him. Here was the link I meant to send... http://www.beveragefactory.com/homebrew/bottling/bottle-fillers/perlick-GT600-growler-filler.html
