It's my bet also. But why is it wrong?

I just got permission from the wife to use a 12 yo freezer as a fermentation chamber! YAY... Too bad it is a vertical one with a monster middle shelf with coils built in. I can't unbend it because it will clear not enough space. Just bought some 2x20 liter plastic boxes that fit between the...

No. Copper is a much better thermal conductor than steel, but we are talking of small surfaces here. The difference could be a few minutes. But more important than the material is the actual temperature of the running water. That alone makes the bigger difference in cooling time. And stainless...

What about making a hop tea? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTTU4oNvhZI

This is very true. I started back in March with two coopers kits. I enjoyed the 1st one so much (the process not the beer which was only ok), that i quickly moved to BIAB all grain. It's so much more enjoyable. Also i did not start with any recipes. I took a few months to gather and read all i...

This is just what I've experienced in every single batch i brewed. From week 1 to week 2 there's a major carbonation difference. Nowadays i just open my 1st bottle at 2 weeks. It gets way better after a month regarding head retention. But it's just my experience so far.

From my short experience: under pitching is nasty and you surely can smell it when fermenting. Very strong fruity esters. I once under pitched Mangroves Jack's belgian Ale yeast and it was nasty even for a Belgium beer. Eventually it faded a bit but the beer was not what it should have been.

Yes. Of course you are right. That is how i calculate my target volume exactly when priming with a syringe.:mug:

Even when using wheight/volume there's an obvious catch: if adding 100 ml of water to 10 grams of sugar, the end solution will be 115,9 ml , as sugar has a 1,59 g/cm³ density. It's good info when making priming solution in a target volume that is easily divided.

Details Making a Standard % Brix (Sucrose) Solution To make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below: Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance. Tare the balance. Weigh out X grams of high purity sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1)...

I wish i started with a Grainfather. In fact i still keep wishing, but i'm cheap and the beer is great as is.

My hydrometer is always in synch with my cheap refractometer: Last batch gave me 12,4 brix post boil, that was the expected 1.050 OG my hydrometer gave. Even during fermentation with wort correction factor of 1.0, it gives me the same readings. So i just use it for all my readings, and come...

Thats about right if it was a 5 gallon batch.

I saw that picture. I'd rather waste some beer to a blow off than have the contents of that jar in it. Seems like a very bad idea.

This is exactly how i rigged my ghetto brew rig. Except i'm in Portugal and use 220V.

Seems dead to me...but i'm a noob.

I'm in!

Sometimes i do, sometimes i don't. But i really like the most vigorous boil i can get.

Because Polypropylene melting point is 130 to 171 °C .

It will always fit the Specialty Beer Style.
