As above I would think the foam brings more aromas into play. Personally, I dont care much for the foam, less is better. I do like to have some carbonation in the beer itself but not overkill, aka BMC. Tradition could be another reason. The style of beer has always had, or never had, or...

I would heat gently in a covered pan. Maybe even a double boiler tho that is probly overkill. Small, or large even, crockpots work well too.

Hello all I am looking at ramp/soak controllers and have a question on outputs. Using the Love 16B series with 2 outputs as an example there are several different outputs available. Relay, voltage pulse, linear voltage, and current. Running a resistance heating coil what outputs are...

How are you doing the knurling? I wouldnt mind building my own if I could find shafts.

Yup, what he said.

I have seen pvc manifolds made here on the forum. Sounds like you are planning a hybrid sparge. You can set a saucer on top of the grain bed to help keep the water from stirring up cloudiness. Can you siphon into the MLT?

I have a cat that will chew into DME also. Use to have a work on the car cat. He would carry off the greasy nuts and bolts.

(edited) sorry guys I jumped in here without reading the particular posting folder. I thought it was for a recipe, my bad.

I put honey in everything. It is a sugar so it will do the job, not usually enough in a priming solution to taste it though. It mostly ferments out, leaving very little actual honey flavor. Honey is its own animal so the same amount of a different honey, or even the next batch of honey from the...

I also do the paper towel thing. I just hold it to the faucet to push the paper towel through, then soak in idophor. Then store dry in a sanitized bucket with other stuff that has been rinsed and idophor soaked. Bubblers, bottling wands, stoppers, etc all go in the bucket. Anything used next...

I rinse, add maybe a gallon of idophor solution, flush the dip tube/beer line by connecting co2 for a few seconds just to get enough co2 in to push the solution thru the line. I store empty with lid off. My theory is this is easier on the seals, lets them expand to seal again when used. This...

This is probly the best batch yet, alot of harshness gone over last year. This one might have a chance of gaining a few more family members, I will find out next Thurs. Still have 2 bottles left of my second mead ever, gotta be 10 years old now. Got a couple bottles left of an elderberry that...

You guys just pulling a couple glasses off the kegs, then its good to go?

I am thinking it might be oxyxlean that can put a residue on the glass? May be wrong here.

I am ordering 2 STC1000's, can run a couple relays if you need more current than 10amps, and still be cheaper than a Love. 2 thermocouples would be useful, though you could run 2 STC1000's for less money.

There are more microbreweries opening here in Utah, all is not lost :) I have lived here over 45 years with a short stint in Jackson Hole. Still some rural areas around, Utah is a pretty good state for jobs in the trades. I dont like the winters much. If you ski or like to ride sleds, winter can...

I am partial to seranno peppers.

Does gelatin do pretty well in most styles? I would like to clear up an IPA but dont want to pull out any hops flavor or dry hop aroma,

something like this

Drinking a cherry mead. One of my goals in life is to make a mead that most of my family likes, instead of barely any.
