I already brewed this beer once successfully bro , ease back

Well for your information , this was the same recipe I brewed last month and it came out fantastic .. The only major change we made to this batch was we didn't double pitch

Update bros ... The brew finished out a excepted FG but still very sweet , tastes unfinished ... I think next time we brew another 11+ abv beer we need to make sure we double pitch or make sure our starter is way tougher than this 1 lol

I was looking to upgrade the hoses on my wort chiller to silicone because my ****ty little vinyl or PVC hoses that I have start to bend and pinch as soon as I throw my chiller in my boiling wort

I don't think think my LHBS does , I was looking for another store that had silicone tubing

I've been looking to upgrade my tubing ... I've seen them online on beer sites , anybody know a where to get them offline ? I've looked at Loews and Home Depot but couldn't find it

I know it wouldn't be exactly the same or nearly as cool , but what about barrel aging , and then kegging it ?

Update ..... My Avery's maharaja clone -- OG 1.120 has dropped to 1.028ish in only 9 day off our first attempt at a starter ... Took a g reading and a taster and dropped a oz of citra instead of the recipes 1/2 o Columbus and 1/2 of centennial .... Taster was still pretty sugary , sharpe and...

What I was referring to was unless your temps are 100f off your hydrometer is only gonna be a few small 0.000's off , no ?

I went to a random hydro temp calculator , and put in the most ridiculous temperatures to find out how much a reading can change , and even going from near freezing to 159 there is only a few hundreds of a point different in the readings . Is this right ? .. I always thought it would change much...

Oh sorry sir , I was asking if I should expect the beer to finish faster whit the 20 hour hand swirled starter ... Yeast strain was white labs Cali ale ... Aeration teq was jus high pouring the cool wort into a carboy through a a fine strainer , then high pouring the 2 gallons of top off water...

Thanks for the quick replies bros .. About the starter , I was only wondering because this batch seemed to grow a krausen , ferm violently , then calm down and fall much more quickly than our already very aggressive fermentations , I plan on taking a reading on it this weekend before we dry hop

Favorite methods for adding citrus fruits to a heavy iipa , pros and cons please ... 2nd - if I make a starter , and only hand swirl it fairly often for 20 hours or so , should I expect it to ferm and fall quicker ?

Man that suck , me and my roomy brewed a bath this weekend and we had 3 friends and my room watching the pot and still had a 1/4 gallon boil over right in front of them haha. Wasn't a big deal , wonder how much a small boil over affects OG ?

Sounds like your gonna have to put her down sir hahaha

That is a good point , we bough a 120 dollar truebrew kit and we were pretty pissed it didn't have a kettle

Acidic and sour beer ewwwwwwww !!!! Lol ... 100f fermentation temperatures !?!?!? Blasphemy !!! That doesn't sound very healthy for any kind of yeasties I've ever heard of lol

Agreed , my fridge and my ranco temp controller is the most important equipment

I'm new to brewing , I'm on my 11th batch or so .. I love the idea going all grain but sanitizing 50 bottle sucks ass ... I hated cleaning bottles but I kinda take pride in cleaning my kegs ... Be careful buying from CL , check for the age on the Co2 tanks to make sure they aren't to old to...

Damn bro that's a damn shame , I was super upset having to dump a 5 gallon batch , especially after how nice the fermentation was going in the carboy .... Sorry for your loss bro
