    When do you take your first hydrometer reading during fermentation?

    I have the luxury of kegging so if I tasted it and it was under attenuated I'd just warm it up and let it ferment out in the keg!

    Experimental Brewing Episode 50 - Purge Your Beer of Boring Malt

    Do you know where they operate? It's really hard to get CMC stuff now that I moved. They love supporting homebrewers but they are plenty busy with the breweries they work with and I haven't found a LHBS who carries there stuff because of quantity and shipping cost.

    New BIAB questions

    Just to add a little to what @wilserbrewer said, it gets much more difficult to do any sparge with bigger grain bills. I did a 12 gallon batch and my numbers were low. Trying to maneuver that heavy, hot, dripping, bulging sack o grain to just squeeze it much less dunk it or pour over was a...

    Eight year old beer still in carboy (pic)

    These are the threads that make HBT awesome! I have a few experiments laying around that I sample now and then. You already tasted it and it's not vinegar. Carb it up! If it's not sour or vinegary then it's not going to contaminate a keg. And if you're worried, o rings are cheap! I will pay for...

    Warm Fermented Lager Thread

    This is my La Bici 5 Rabbits Vienna lager clone from the Session Beers book. Brewed a couple of months ago and bottled from the keg. I really like this beer! Warmish fermented with 34/70 and really coming into its own now that its almost gone! Great malty flavor but still crisp and dry. Damn...

    When do you take your first hydrometer reading during fermentation?

    I haven't taken a hydrometer reading in... wow, can't remember! I know I should. I'm a total data nerd. But I just got to the point that I brew, I trust the yeast to do what it does, and I enjoy the beer.

    Head retention issue

    Here's the 644 version (I ran the beer sitting in the lines out) right after pour. Clean and sanitized glass, did not take a sip yet Maybe 15-20 seconds later Less than a minute after pour I've decided there are a lot of foam positive properties as evidenced by the lacing but overdid the...

    Experimental Brewing Episode 50 - Purge Your Beer of Boring Malt

    @Denny just listened to this episode. I have used malt from Colorado Malting Co in Alamosa, CO almost exclusively when it comes to base malt and wheat malt. As they have experimented and expanded what they're making I've tried several malts-Belgian, Belgian chocolate, crystal, Colo-Pils...

    Head retention issue

    On this beer I actually did a 45 minute mash and cold pour over sparge. I haven't mashed out since switching to BIAB. It was a longer than expected boil to deal with additional volume and low gravity.

    Head retention issue

    @Denny I listened to the oats episode this morning and got a lot of good info. I know Drew experimented more with oats (what's his HBT handle?) but I'm wondering if Golden Naked oats or oat malt operate differently than flaked or rolled oats. I now know that oats can contribute to head collapse...
