    Yeast Starter Blew Its Top

    Hey all, Made a 1.75 liter starter for a 10.75gal Chocolate Oatmeal Stout last night, which used 2 packs Omega-004 and 5.92oz DME. Done similar several times, but, unlike those times, I woke this morning to the foil top laying next to the my 2k ml flask, completely uncovered. My hopeful side...

    Update on Black Rainbow Porter Hey all, thanks for the advice and tips given for this recipe. I've had some time to imbibe and enjoy this one and here are my thoughts an a follow-up question. The color is great and the flavor is about where I wanted them. It's a good dry porter with nice subtle...

    El Dorado Pale Ale

    Created a Pale Ale recipe to get to know El Dorado hops. Not quite a SMaSH, but want it to be all El Dorado and I'd love to get any insights on how I have it set up. I'll brew this on an eBIAB rig that Bobby at BrewHardware built for me. Aiming for 45.8 IBUs, and mostly aroma, as my wife has a...

    Glycol Chiller Doesn't Cool Below 43F/6C

    Thanks, SonomaBrewer! My tubing is insulated with the foam padding that came with the tubes, from Spike. Maybe I'll reenforce those with some towels and duct-tape to see if that helps.

    Glycol Chiller Doesn't Cool Below 43F/6C

    Hi all, My BrewBuilt Max 2 & Spike CF10 combo never cool my beer below 43F when cold crashing. Thinking ice build-up might be the issue, I've already tried the following. Cooling the glycol to no less than 28F Cooling in stages to prevent ice build-up, 10°F at a time Being between brews, I...
