    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    This is exactly what "hop burn" is. Its just really fine hop particles that make it into the beer. Cryo hops are concentrated and already in powder form that's why you get it even worse with them. I've tried keg hopping multiple times and each time they had that same burn to them, that's why I...

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    It’s about a half inch to an inch wider than 12. The body looks like it’s 12 but the top lip and plastic bottom makes it what goes over 12.

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    It’s hard plastic. It looks like it’s glued on, looks easy to remove. I might need to do that to one of mine to be able to fit both in my freezer.

    equipment upgrades you wish you had from the start

    Its a 240 volt Brew Boss system. Makes brew day a breeze, I could not be happier going this route. Luckily my wife loves beer just as much as I do and is very supportive of all my home brewing!

    Going electric for sure! Now I'm able to do single vessel BIAB and have full automation.

    Cereal Killer setting for BIAB?

    As tight as it goes for mine too and a good thought on a cheap corded drill I've had the battery die on me a couple times right in the middle of grinding.

    "Juicing" IPAs... Best Practices?

    There’s no better way to camp than just beer and no water and electricity. Have you tried these concentrates? All natural, no sugar, so no re-fermentation issue and taste really good. I’ve used these as well just put some in my keg and racked the beer on top...

    "Juicing" IPAs... Best Practices?

    I have added a full gallon of fruit juice to beer before straight from the juice bottle to the keg. You just need to chill the keg down to serving temps (below 40F), this wont "kill" the yeast but its too cold for them to wake up and start fermenting the sugar. With that said you cant take the...

    Texas Brutus 20 Concept - DFW TX

    $200 for everything plus the two Fermonsters. My wife is killing me to get these out of the shed, HELP ME OUT!

    Bootleg Biology Funk Weapon #2

    Just use a sanitized mason jar and cover the top with aluminum foil. Put it on a kitchen counter and give it a swirl every time you pass by it.

    Bootleg Biology Funk Weapon #2

    I think it will work just as good, might just have a little more funk than #2. Just make a starter at least 3 days ahead and ferment at higher than regular temps. Let us know how it comes out!

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    Nice feature but that would skyrocket the cost. These are only $130 and will last a lifetime. My fermonsters cost $35 but I already had to replace the screw on tops (they cracked) and silicone ring on both. I've made enough beer to realize that me being able to see the beer fermenting doesn't...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    +1 on El Dorado having an overwhelming bubble gum flavor. Almost has a plastic flavor to it, just like that cheap hard gum you get from the quarter machines.

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    I have a 5 cu. ft. chest freezer as my fermentation chamber and I have to squeeze to get the two in there. If you have a bigger chest freezer then I think you would have no problem fitting two or more depending on your size. I have about 6 -7 inches of cleared height so no problem there. The...

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    Alright fellas time for some real life size comparison pictures. Next to a 7 gallon fermonster. Its a couple inches shorter and about an inch wider body, not counting the added width of the handles or spigot. The silicone seal seems to give it an air tight seal (have not used it yet) but...

    Texas Brutus 20 Concept - DFW TX

    I'll take any reasonable offer. Will also throw in two Fermonster fermenters with spigots.

    Just bought two of these yesterday. I hope they fit in my fermentation chamber!

    Texas Frisco, TX water supply

    I'm in Allen and use RO from Kroger. You could build your own water profile for any style with a "blank slate" of RO water and its only 39 cents a gallon. I find building a water profile much easier than trying to figure out the changing mineral content and chasing PH levels around from the...

    Smash IPA that is crisp

    Half pound of sulfate? PPM = parts per million nothing to do with pounds. We're talking grams not even ounces here. My total water volume varies from 7.5 to 8 gallons and when I shoot for 300 PPM or higher of sulfate I usually end up using 12 - 14 grams of gypsum (just a guess of the top of my...
