I’m planning on doing the same, 3 gal batches in a 5 gal corny. My plan is to build a spunding valve for the gas out port. I saw a thread here the other day where someone was talking about using a magnet to hold a stir rod in a hop sock to do dry hop additions. I will probably give that a try.

Nucleation site in that particular bottle?

I’ve been doing no chill batches for over a year and have been super happy with my results. No buying ice, using water baths or immersion chillers. Just let the kettle sit covered overnight, dump and pitch the next morning. I spray the outside of my kettle with alcohol to make sure it is...

For a very long time when I wasn’t brewing I could usually find an abundant supply of good craft beer for decent prices. However, I have noticed in the past maybe five or so years that the price of commercial beer has skyrocketed. That and the influx of hard soda water taking up space in the...

1 gallon from leftover 2019 supplies, some 2-row pale, Maris Otter, and a touch of victory malt, with norther brewer hops. 228 + 1 = 229 edit: composition

Hi all, I started brewing about 15 years ago, but took a long hiatus until about a year ago. Since then I have done about 10 small batch brews and I am really enjoying getting back into home brewing. I’ve been lurking around for a while, and finally figured I would join the conversation.
