The beer looks great, and tastes even better! This whole post was essentially the reason behind RDWHAHB, Cheers!

Thanks for all the feedback here! Actually thought that by using the spigot I was reducing my chance of infection but I totally didn’t even think about pulling oxygen in as a byproduct. I think for now I will stick to using it as a closed transfer option, which I have yet to do but look...

This was about 4 days post-Krausen and it was clear prior to taking the picture. Seemed to pop up sometime inbetween my gravity reading on 6/17 and when I noticed it on 6/20. It’s been cold crashed and carbonated so after work today I’m gonna pour one and report back. also good call on the...

This is my first time using a fermenter that is clear because I mostly use buckets so it’s very possible this has been in several of my other beers but it fell before I had a chance to catch it. This is also my first time using Zamba hops which could be what I am smelling, although I would be...

Thanks for all of the help guys, going to just keep these super chilled and hope for the best! The first infection had to happen at some point... now off to sanitize for the next 6 hours.

I don't currently have a working pH tester but I do have one coming in the mail. As for taste, it still tastes pretty malty and a little fruity. It does smell like soured fruit and honestly, in a good way! @IslandLizard The packet wasn't damaged but the granules were very clumped together and...

Hey all, Last Sunday I brewed a pretty straightforward blonde for a family vacation in a couple of weeks. Recipe: 8 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 6 82.1 % 0.63 gal 12.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 7 7.7 % 0.06 gal 8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 8...

I haven't brewed it yet but was planning on doing a trial run next weekend to see what flavors shine through the most. You bring up a good point though and maybe I will reconsider sending it to a different competition where I am able to categorize it better, thanks for the feedback!

I am planning to enter my first competition in the middle of august that only allows Belgian style entries and I really want to get feedback on this new saison recipe I have created. I basically want to throw a little bit of strawberry & lemon peel in the boil and then add some hibiscus petal to...

Hey all, I am moving to ATL, specifically Midtown, in the fall and wanted to get more involved on an organizational level. I can't find much information regarding homebrew clubs around that area although I am sure that there are plenty. If anyone has any recommendations or personal experiences...

If you didn't get much out of the sabro, then I think I will just throw the last half oz of Citra I have with some cascade as the base. Glad to hear the 16 oz will be plenty of coconut flavor because I was seeing some people recommend up to half a pound per gallon which seemed wildly excessive...

I am looking to create a coconut blonde but can't get my hands on the hops I want. My initial thought was to pair some Sabro with 16 oz of coconut in the secondary but none of my local homebrew shops carry it, so I decided to use some hops I already have on hand. I have Huell Melon, Lemondrop...

Finally got the thing to work properly. I think what must have happened is that I accidentally smacked the upper meter at some point, causing the dial to get stuck on the 5 psi point. After putting the regulator back onto the C02 tank it ended going back up to 5psi until I started twisting and...

I detached the regulator from the C02 tank and it stayed at 5 psi for a couple of seconds and then dropped down to 0. Seems to be working perfectly fine now, thanks for the help!

I recently got a 2 way manifold from Amazon because I just purchased a beer gun filler and need the extra port. The issue I am having is that ever since I hooked up my C02 regulator to the splitter, it is reading 5 psi even when the tank is turned off, every port is set to open, and I have...
