Cheers!

Thanks, day-trippr, as always!

Hey all, Today's brew-day SNAFU: forgot to take my 2-liter yeast starter out of the fridge for a NEIPA. Now I'm in the boil phase & hope to pitch after a 20min whirlpool and cool-down (90min from now?). Is it better to fill my fermenter and wait until my yeast gets to room temp to pitch...

Hey all, Looking at making my first Kölsch and caught sight of Omega's DKO (Diacetyl Knock Out) series. How are these being received? Any noticeable flavor or behavioral differences that a homebrewer should be aware of? Thanks!

Hi Junior_Brewmaster, I was recently confused on this point, too, when making a chocolate stout, in which it add me add cacao nibs —2 weeks—in secondary. In that case it meant to add 2 weeks before kegging/bottling. I'd think that would mean the same here, too.

Very nice. Thanks Rawlus!

Thanks, Bago-0:!

Hey all, Thinking of setting my keg system up for nitro. I'm finding plenty of tanks & regulators online, but where does one go to to get the gas and is there a specific type needed (food save vs. industrial, or something like that)? Thanks!

Mine either go in my compost bin or into baking bread. Many recipes don't use a lot of the spent grain, but it's a great way to convert some of it into some tasty loaves!

Hi all, I'm using chocolate nibs for the 1st time in an 11gal batch of chocolate stout that I'm brewing for a charity auction, and I have a question about flavor consistency when bottling (I normally keg, which I'll do with the rest that isn't going to auction). I'm adding 1 pound (0.45kb) of...

Even I can do it! And that says something 😄

Yes, I love resurrecting old posts 🤣 Thanks for this! I’m doing a stout but not imperial so I’ll do vodka this time, but am definitely making your recipe next month and will use dark rum (vanilla, too!)

Hey all, I'm a bit late to the party, but found this really helpful video for hoisting my BIAB bag. Tried lots of different knots, but this one worked like a dram on a 11gal batch I brewed a week ago. It's a "sack-lift knot. Hope this helps!:

Hey day-trippr! Did you throw the vodka in with the nibs, or strain them and add?

Sounds good, mabrungard. Thanks!

Thanks, BrewnWKopperKat. I figured the difference is so slight as not to matter much. Interesting on the flavor & mash effects.

I'm brewing a chocolate stout and having a heck of a time getting my water profile right. I'm using the Black Dry profile in Bru'n and it seems like I can either hit the calcium target of 50ppm (by adding CaCl2) and overshoot the chloride by 7ppm, or leave it as is in the attached image and...

Yup! Works great. Been using mine with StarSan for ages.

Good idea, day-Trippr. One drop for 2L starter?

That's a good idea. Wish I knew when it blew it's top. Sometime between 10pm and 8am... Think I'm going to start over
