    Another stuck fermentation thread

    Well maybe you want to add that champagne or saison yeast, because look what you've done. 1.020 was as much as the yeast felt like going. Now you've added even more sugar (fruit) and lets say now your gravity is more like 1.050 right, and lets say now they don't feel like eating all that sugar...

    Stupid Joke Thread!

    In memory of my favorite comedian Louis Black: I have no religion because I was born and raised Jewish. And on the first night of Hanukkah, my parents, when I was very young, gave me a top to play with. They called it a dreidel. I knew it was a top. And as I looked at that top, I said, "You...

    Have experienced this myself so many times. From what I've researched and experienced, it was probably a temperature issue when you pitched the yeast or maybe during fermentaiton. Now I cool it extra low and I put in 2 packets of yeast because I'm paranoid. You can add champagne yeast and see if...

    No... just NO.

    I saw these articles a while back and can report I tried it in early March for st patricks day using glitter and it was in my basic pale ale recipe. Maybe the type of glitter we used but for 2 days our poop was loaded with glitter, it was too disturbing, after a while I couldn't look just...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

    Yes thank you, Mario confirmed this wasn't a clean water filter and shouldn't be used, primarily as someone else had mentioend its made of PVC and not food safe even if boiled. In fact the boiling may exasserbate the danger. Next week when its trash day I'll just do what I did and wait until...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

    I'm not a troll, very tired of hearing this but being patient. What would be the point of trolling a site like this with a few dozen members with actual brewing questions? There are many regular questions I've asked here and some I admit are out of the ordinary. I'm sure you all have embarassing...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

    I’m in a motel in rapid city yes. I know you always want pictures of everything, I have pictures I will post them sometime and you will all be shocked and embarrassed and I cannot wait to close your mouths when you see what’s happening back home. When the licenses go through etc that’s when the...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

    If it isn’t a water filter no I won’t use it. My buddy plumber confirms it’s something different, nevermind. This was intended for test batches anyway, I have a professional system that wont experience problems with clog. Just wanted to share a DIY project but I think this won’t be happening...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

    Sorry yes I deleted most of it, so fart I haven't identified exactly what type of filter this is, I took it from my neighbor's driveway. Trash but he's a police officer. But if you saw it the problem before I deleted it was debris getting stuck in the valve that I was blowing out. If you also...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

I have to go to rapid...

    DIY hop spider, using reclaimed filter

    I love to DIY and my neighbor was tossing what appears to be a large/tall water filter. My only question is: I can fill this with hops/etc and just suspend in the boil, or would you maybe wrap or ziptie it with cheesecloth or something? It appears to be perfect for my test batch kettle which is...

    From a porch, comes a barrel?

    Thanks everyone I'm going with the simpler plan of just mulching the board(s) after sanding. Not treated with arsenic or anything, they're very very old boards very worm from age and weather, looks like drift wood. I looked up on this site and whiskey should steralize, etc. So I'll be trying...
