Be careful with the volumes if you make a sugar/water mixture. Mixing one cup water with one cup sugar will increase the total volume of the cup of water but it won't double the volume, the volume will be an estimated 12.44 fl. oz. (not 16 as one might expect).

I am in the middle of my first gallon batch of cider and am following the Everyday Simplest Dry Cider recipe here: Everyday Simplest Dry Cider . For priming, the 55 ml of apple juice concentrate per gallon works out to almost exactly 11 teaspoons of the apple juice concentrate (11.2 teaspoons of...

Maybe try the German lager in a beer glass washed with soap and water to see if it makes any difference.

(This is off the topic of rinsing yeast, but it is where this conversation started, so hear is my answer. I like the original post, and want to try it sometime. This writing pertains mostly to something else.) I missed your question until just a bit ago, then thought I would wait until the...

We have lemon grass in Tucson, in full sun, and it is thriving. It does get watered regularly.

This is interesting on all points. I'd heard the term, but never looked into what hop creep is until now. It wasn't a lot of dry hopping, and the temperature was 61-63F over the last three weeks. No doubt the hops did some conversion of starch to sugar and some of that sugar did get converted...

I started a rye porter four weeks ago and moved it to the secondary three weeks ago. The recipe is below. It doesn't call for dry hopping, but the sample I took before transferring to secondary seemed sort of sweet, so I dry hopped with about 0.61 oz. of Cascade hop pellets. Maybe that means its...

I coined a term, beervana. "What's your Beervana?" might be a good thread. For me it was a bottle of beer and a pint glass in a cold freezer for 20 minutes.

Gentle Ben's brewing operation moved off site years ago and became Bario Brewing Co., a fun warehouse district place, owned by the same folks that started Gentle Ben's. It (Bario) had and may still have 1/2 price beer whenever a train is going by, and recently became employee-owned.

Is the Gose Great Fermentation's Breakin' the Law Gose Recipe? There's some leeway in that recipe; wondering what you wound up doing.

I'm a little concerned whether that bucket is food grade and can take the temperature of the sparge water.

Square-D seems to be a Schneider Electric product line as in they own it and are the manufacturer. They (Schneider) should be interested in what went wrong with their product. Yes, you have to go through Amazon as the distributor for the return/replacement- always a hassle when something goes...

My guess is the S04 was working, just a slow start.

This debug link might help isolate: https://www.hunker.com/13414447/troubleshooting-ground-fault-circuit-breaker-testing ... Scroll to the What to do if the breaker won't reset and keeps tripping when turned on section. It only takes a 5 mA leak to trip this breaker. Square-D is a reputable brand.

The sparge water temperature still matters though, right? If the sparge water is 170F or less, is there a situation in which tannins would be extracted?

A rye porter, 3.5 gallon

There's a wiki for that, no pun intended. http://homedistiller.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I found something related to temperature affecting the rated current of a circuit breaker if it is not an electronic trip type of breaker. What the table shows is that below 104 F, a given circuit breaker can pass more than its current rating without tripping. Above 104 F, the trip level has to...

Circuit breakers trip due to temperature. If the ambient temperature where the breaker is is increasing with the summer heat, that could have an effect. Maybe it's minor, but if your on the edge or if the breaker is not ideal, it could explain what you have observed. I recently had a breaker...

I had to look up where North Macedonia is. It is very interesting looking! About maintaining temperature of the mash, insulating is a good idea. If you had or make a sturdy table at the same height as the ajvar, you could slide the cook pot off the heat or partially off the heat to adjust the...
