    Two-hop combinations for simple ale ideas?

    My house ale is all Mosaic hot side and all Citra dry hop. These two seem to play well together. I try to have a keg of this on tap at all time.

    Confusion with fastferment cleaning.

    I used a FF for about 2 years and 35 batches. I would only do a complete disassembly about every 10 batches. After each batch I would fill it with about 2 gallons of hot PBW solution and shake that around and let it soak, then rinse with hot water. If needed I would wipe the inside with a soft...

    making starter

    Never used it. Probably never will. I use straight RO water and DME for my starters and always have good results, both stirred and shaken.

    Leave in fermenter?

    I rarely check gravity before 14 days and sometimes I just don't bother at all if it is a recipe I have done before. Let it ride. No harm in letting it go longer. I would recommend getting a refractometer instead of using a hydrometer for small batch brewing. You only need a drop to check the...

    I will get some pics when I do my next batch. Not sure what the fixed gap is, but this is as tight as I can get the third roller.

    First crush with new kegco 3 roller

    I run my mill at .021" with no problems, But I also condition the malt before milling. That helps to keep the husks in tact so I have no problems with the runoff.

    Yeast starters overflow every single time

    I got tired of loosing yeast out of my 2L flask and found a 4L on Am-----n for a lot less than the 5L. Plenty big for my needs as I usually over build starters to keep up my yeast bank . I make a 2.5 to 3L starter and bank the extra in half pint mason jars. I can also do starters big enough for...
