Does anyone know of a good one? Thanks!

I know it's supposed to be hazy/cloudy...doesn't that come from the yeast? If I'm not mistaken, whirlfloc helps remove hot and cold break, and other trub material, but doesn't affect yeast haze. Am I right? In any case, should whirlfloc be used in a Dunkelweizen or any other German wheat beer?

It's Jamil's recipe...he seems to go out of his way to encourage that temp, for a balance between clove and banana.

Why not get a beer gun?

Using White Labs WLP300 Pure Pitch, manufactured on 6/22/2018; original gravity expected to be 1.056; will ferment at 62º f. I've heard that stressing the yeast can improve results. What do you think?

Couple months ago I had an Ayinger Ur-Weisse and loved it. Thinking about brewing a dunkelweizen tomorrow with Jamil's recipe "Trigo Oscuro" from BCS. Has anyone done it before? If so, what did you think? Similar to the Ayinger? Are there any better recipes out there? Thanks!

That's exactly what happens to me.

It takes a while to happen, but as time goes by Starsan seems to mess up my sprayers...either causing them to clog, or messing with the hole that the spray come out of. Does anyone else notice the same thing? Are there bottles somewhere that are immune? Thanks!

I mixed it months ago...might have been before Christmas. Has only used to soak a few cases of freshly-cleaned (with Oxiclean) bottles. Think it's still good?

Oops. Should have been "Big Book of Clone Recipes"

Does anyone have or seen this? Thoughts?

So over shooting by 5-7 isn't a big deal? Reason I ask is that my efficiency has increased too.. was going to dial it in on Brew Smith to compensate (per a thread I started not too long ago). Maybe I'll just leave it as is.

What counts as fairly close to desired OG?

RDWHAHB! It may not taste just as you expected, or maybe it will. Either way it'll probably be fine.

Do you have a washing machine hookup? If you do, a garden hose should fit.

Awesome...thanks!

Couple more thoughts -- Hydrometer - Definitely get this now if you don't already have one. Digital thermometer - Quicker and easier to read than liquid. A decent one doesn't have to break the bank. Digital scale - For measuring hops and priming sugar. Bottling bucket with spigot, and spring...

Unless your fermenter is REAL gross and dirty, or the gunk is dried hard, just fill it with water and put in a scoop of Oxi Clean Free (non scented). After it sits for a few hours, just drain and rinse...no need to do much more than that, other than to sanitize before the next use. By the way...

+1 on a fermentation chamber. I've been using a 7ish cf chest freezer for about six months now, what a game changer all around...it's easier and better beer. The big question is, do you have room for it? As far as smaller gadgets go, I didn't see a wort chiller in your list of equipment. If you...

BeerSmith says that my mash efficiency has been running around 80%, but it seems that most recipes assume around 68%. As a result, my OG runs around 5-7 points higher than expected, and my ABV also ends up higher than expected. Is there a way to have BS automatically adjust malt amounts - base...
