    My first wine. Going with Pineapple

    You never made wine before? When making wine you add stuff to like potassium metabisulfate, sorbate, basically to stop fermentation before bottling, to preserve the wine and also to clear the wine. So u might want to look Into that. Also check your ph! And make sure it's where it needs to be...

    Skunky semi sour beer.

    Only thing u can do now is check the ph, wait and post your results. Maybe itll clean itself up a lil more. The reason I say that is because my brother made wine this one time where the same happened to him. Basically his wine took extra longer to finish completely fermenting before he could...

    My E-HERMS Brew Rig Thread

    50 bucks a keg is a good price judging by the price of the labor hours, compounds and scotchbrite pads. I think I'm going to go that route just having a hell of a time finding a local powder guy. Is that the high heat powder too? I guess it can tolerate high temps better than regular powder...

    Steam infused mash tun

    So with steam the mash isn't in a bath but just wet enough to drip into the false bottom? Seems like the big breweries mash have a Farina like consistency while being stirred by the huge mixer. So I was just trying to figure out the process. Like was there water added and heated? Then they...

    Steam infused mash tun

    In the parts list it's shows there are two steam inlets and outlets.2 in Upper and 2 in lower heating cylinders. Now my question is where are these inlets and outlets. I'm assuming the big center stack shown in these pics is where steam either enters or exits the tun. one inlet and the thing...

    False bottom, manifold, s/s tube... What about s/s ball bearings?

    Idk. Rock is Rock. It's made up of many different types minerals, ores, and Dino ****. Look at lime stone which comes from shells and sea organisms. Limestone I believe Is used in the food industry in different ways for its effects on acids. Rocks in rivers and oceans don't get neutral they...

    My E-HERMS Brew Rig Thread

    Gorgeous. How much does it cost to get them chrome coated ? Is it cheaper than polishing if one had to buy all the polishing pads? Did it have to be sanded and washed it anything before the powder coating?

    Mash tun mixer

    I was just searching youtube for videos of the big time breweries to see how their mash tanks were set up and they too had mixers that looked quite similar to your design except they were made out of stainless steel and looked like there were around 6 paddles/blades/fins on the stirrer. I also...

    Fermenting issue?

    You can always just add a fitting to your boiler and pump it out with a march pump if you have a couple extra brew bucks to spend.

    Skunky semi sour beer.

    Did you happen to check your Ph before fermentation ? Also your beer may have been still fermenting when u bottled it and basically just needed more time. Also you want your fermenter in a dark spot. They sell carboy covers that blanket the whole bottle to keep it nice and dark. Light messes...
