Same bottling caps I use in most of my beers. I've gotten caps from 2 places - my local shop and online (OntarioBeerKegs). Have used both in many batches, and I actually split this batch capping half with one, and half with the other. No BIAB. I have a Coleman Xtreme 70qt cooler, crush my...

Attached are 2 pics against a white background (the darker one being the sediment from the bottom of the bottle). Some more observations as well. 1. That off taste that I was referring to is now more evident. Stale taste. Picture pouring a beer, drinking it, then leaving just a bit in...

An update here as the batch that I had bottled at the time of writing this original thread (a Lagunita's IPA clone) is now ready. 3 pics attached - one racking to the bottling bucket, one in a small sample to measure gravity and the last one in the glass 3 weeks later. I did not cold crash...

I got the recipe from a book, so no link to share. The only modifications I made were to the hops (due to availability) and the yeast as I haven't used liquid yeast yet. I did start playing around with the numbers in BeerSmith and I do get closer to what I expect. I also verified that the...

Is the color closer to an amber/brown or is it close to black? kh54s10 - can you post a pic of your BeerSmith recipe showing the 42.8 SRM?

I had the chocolate malt at 350 but I just replaced it with 450. Roasted Barley is 300 SRM. I still get a projected color of 24.9 SRM. Clearly I'm doing something wrong here... Picture of recipe is attached.

Hey everyone. In my next batch I'm attempting to brew a clone of Murphy's Dry Irish Stout. Based on the recipe below, the source of the recipe indicates a projected SRM of 41, however when I enter the recipe into Beersmith it's way lower. I also tried entering the recipe at...

Which upgraded eccentrics are you referring to?

Wow - thanks for the replies! Some updates to questions asked. Yes, I have the original MM-2 with the thumbscrews, not the Pro. I have only hand-tightened the screws as I have been scared of over-tightening. After I moved the knob out it definitely tightened a lot more securely. I use a...

Bringing back an old thread. I recently purchased the MM-2 and have been having nothing but problems with it. After reading through this thread I understand the way it's supposed to be adjusted and I have tried that with varied success. My problems are always with the shaft side knob (the...

Splitting a batch is a great idea. I had planned to brew a Stone Ruination clone next (repeat batch because it came out amazing) but I think repeating the American Wheat makes more sense. It's funny because the original reason I cold-crashed this batch is because in previous batches, because...

Yeah I'm thinking oxidation as well. The reason I decided to cold crash this batch is because I typically dry hop quite a bit, and in my previous batch the bottling wand would get clogged from time to time by hop debris, so I figured I would eliminate that. Looks like I eliminated an entire...

Hey everyone. I'm still pretty new to homebrewing with 10 batches under my belt (last 6 have been all-grain). Up until my last batch everything has been going pretty smoothly and I have been consistent with my process. I'm very thorough with sanitation and my beers have been coming out really...
