Oh..and i just checked: i bought the Aramis hops a year ago (2014 harvest). Brewed the Aramis Cream Ale in March. All other hops are way fresher... 04/05/2017 00:03:29 Lúpulo Aramis en pellets 2014 - 100 g 3.27 €

Okay..so i've been experimenting with dry hopping (really...i'm new to it). I found it very strange the small amounts people use (in regular beers..not IPAs). I dried hopped three beers so far: 1- Cream Ale (this one is just....GREAT...yea..i made it great!) Hops for a 17 liter batch (in...

You would end up with an hop tea made with non alcoholic beer. Just make sure you don't add the hops past 158 F (i.e. between 140 and 158). And filter the hop debris. I use distilled water.

I bought an immersion chiller months ago...But honestly: i don't use it! Takes about 40 minutes to chill the wort (yea it's a crappy one), plus i spend a lot of water. So..i just go no chill route (did it before i bought the immersion chiller and really love it). As i do BIAB, i just put my...

I just like to get coffee flavor from malt. And chocolate too. I think getting these flavors from the real things are overrated.

Damn...I am on my way to dump my last batch: cigarette hefeweizen!

This just happened to me. First batch i ruin and this is probably the cause. I had a very vigorous boil (i thought it was too much) and turned off one element. Big mistake: both elements became scorched and i now have 20 L of perfectly ashy Hefeweizen fermenting away... And all just because i'm...

Bottle krausen ring. Happens to me when there's a bit more trub in the bottle. When i use gelatin that never happens.

Sounds ok.

Boil the dilution water vigorously for 15 minutes then chill as fast as you can. Dilute immediately.

This. Check your water.

Bought a cheap ATC refractometer from China. It is spot on on every reading i make. And using a calculator it's still very accurate when reading FG. I love that thing

As a test, i just used google translator on Grand Cru instructions. Just use it. TIP: Read this manual carefully and prepare all materials. Only use well-cleaned material and brewing tools! Uncleaned material causes infections and undrinkable beer. BREWING THIS BEER IN 22 STEPS: 1. Immerse the...

So, i made a 1L starter from some 3 month old porter slurry. Starter fermented well and was done in about 48 hours on a stir plate. After 10 hours in the fridge i can see two layers. The starter beer tasted fine for what it is. Could that top layer be DME protein? Original post...

Not if you use sterile water. You may even use beer from the fermenter.

Make a higher original gravity wort that fits your pot. Dilute with cold water to match your wanted gravity. Concentrate and dilute. And speeds cooling time.

So, other than clogging both the airlock and the blow off ( a bit of an accident), is there anything that in principle is wrong with that setup?

MMmmmmmMMMm... I wonder (hey no science background here..i'm a lawyer) if the use of both the airlock on top and the blow off below would cause some kind of pressure instability. Hence causing a siphon effect???? We need a Phd here ASAP. Edit: just subscribed the topic coz i know it's gonna...
