5 gallon paint bag sold at lowes HD wherever. It fills the entire bucket so they you get good contact with the beer...and no hop crud in the yeast cake. Thats if you use a bucket

The first time i used my chest freezer I left the probe in the thermowell and the airlocks froze solid while cold crashing. First and last time I left the probe in the thermowell while crashing. Easy enough to stick the probe in after reaching target temps without the issue of an overshoot

If its with all beer and you dont seem to have an infection I would try different water. THe water is the common denominator in all the beers. I was getting a metallic bite in my beers. I tried Poland Spring bottle water and it went away. I would try some bottled water on the next batch and...

I tried bungee cords and ratchet straps. I always wondered if air was getting in under whatever I used to insulate. Plus like I said I move the probe around during the entire cycle in the freezer. Way easier (for me anyway) to just stick the probe down a thermowell. I like knowing the temp...

Taping/ strapping/insulating how ever you do it is a PITA Get a $12 thermowell and a rubber stopper. So much easier plus the temp probe is IN the beer. Cant get more accurate than that. set the Inkbird to the temp you want the beer. 68 Set the difference to 1 deg. Set the setting that controls...

Dry hops will change the flavor of the beer....remember the days when dry hops were only for aroma....well that was all wrong. What hops do you like the flavor of the most....make that your dry hop. For me I'm not a huge fan of mosaic from the "mosaic" beer I've had. I would go: first hops @ 5...

I filled to the bottom of the krausen ring in the pic. There's a line around the inside of the bucket that you can see in the pic. Thats my fill line always. It's the exact amount for a full keg. The only variable between this batch and every other batch that I never have a blow off is the hops...

Bacon grease Bacon and beer. I live in a little slice of heaven Is that what you were thinking it was?

I know.I missed that....it was a joke

What the....wine? I thought Jesus was the last person to drink wine

I stopped using a hop bag in the BK. It always ballooned like you said and I felt like I was losing flavor. Now I just suck up all the hop materiel into the fermenter. I've done this the last 2 IPA's and they turned out awesome

I've used endless slurrys and dry yeast at the same level in the fermenter. I've never had a single issue with blow off using the same 05 yeast I've also always used a hop bag in the boil and get a clean slurry Last brew I tried throwing the hops straight in the boil to see if I would get more...

Your beer is ruined....send it to me Newb worries.....contine siphoning it will all settle out know matter where it is.....gravity What are your siphoning from where to where?

Thats a nice clean setup....so cheers to that Killing the power and stopping the pump wont help your efficiency....as far as anyone knows...things change daily around here.....That being said give it a shot. Be sure to give a nice stir as your dumping in the the grain to get it good and mixed...

I can never find my tactical flashlight unless I'm wearing my tactical sunglasses. They give you military grade eagle vision

The thing to wonder is if anything is isnt fried now did they get damaged shortening their lifespan getting screwed later. I'd return everything and start from scratch Why waste more of your time testing and troubleshooting their mistake just to make sure new equipment isnt damaged ...sucks

I hit my numbers exactly usually. Or within a point or 2. I think the numbers are figured at 75% so I guess thats where I'm at Killing the power works out nice. Never have to worry about overheating and with the power off I can leave the house and run around without worrying about anything. Last...

He mentions clearer wort to the brew kettle which makes no difference. Sucking up all the trub has no effect on clear finished product...time yes...trub no Efficiency makes no difference whatsoever if you recirculate or not He mentions a cooler and temp dropping which is off topic a bit but...

I have a follower...thanks for getting me so excited But if your going to follow me at least get it right...I've never mentioned anything about Starsan being useless.....ever I also put effort into things that work and make a difference....everything else is a waste of time and energy....but...

This is all wrong.
