    whats the consensus on spider vs bag vs commando for hop additions?

    Commando here both pellet and whole with a false bottom in the BK. I don't worry about them in the fermenter because I pump the wort into a bottling bucket. I then let it settle out in the ferm. fridge while I'm getting the yeast ready. About an hour later I carefully drain to the fermenter...

    Any Mexican lager suggestions?

    My bad, my mind went right to the hop. I like your dry hop idea. Pacifica is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping. Pacifica has aroma descriptors that include a signature citrus orange zest marmalade; classic Hallertau characteristics with some...

    Not to highjack the thread but I tried Pacifica in a new west coast IPA and was pleased.

    What is your opinion about my Vienna Lager recipe

    It looks like way too much crystal malt as dmtaylor states. If you have some Vienna or Munich malt to add in with the Pale malt it would be closer. Also, Nugget hops are earthy and woody and better suited for English or American styles. But if that's what you have on hand then try it.

    Any Mexican lager suggestions?

    I agree with brewSJ, Vienna is key for me. I have a beer in the fermenter now. It has almost 70% Vienna with Munich 1 at near 20% and the rest Pilsner malt with a small amount of carafa 1 special added during the last 10 mins of mash for color. The yeast is Omega Mex. Lager, and the mash sample...

    First all grain SMaSH attempt

    I would just drink some coffee while making something that will convert. At 190 L it is just basically a light chocolate malt and my not have much to convert. You need to do some reading and find a site that has recipe a calculator that will show the diastatic power of different malts. I suggest...

    Hello I'm new here. Just started brewing after a stroke 8 years ago. My name is Craig, but you can call me shotgun. I'm making a Dunkelweizen.

    I just wanted to say welcome to the forum, lots of good people and advice. I'm glad to hear you are doing better.

    EVA Barrier Line conversion

    I switched out my transfer lines to Eva lines using Duo tight flare to push to fit and it takes about 25-30 minutes to do the transfer. Just a couple of minutes slower than before with 3/8" old lines. I don't know if it makes that much difference, but I will say my kegs can last 3 months without...

    Home grown hops

    I had pretty good yields this year on established hops and fair on newer planted ones. We did have a good summer here in the Heartland with not too many real hot days and a good amount of rain. I had a great yield on my 8-year-old Vojvodina hops and good on the Nugget and Mt Hood. I also like...

    Persistant infection

    As others have said, circulate hot wort thru your pump and hoses during the last 10 mins or so at the end of the boil. Save yourself the trouble of the star-san circulation, the heat is all you need to sanitize. Also boil your aeration stone.
