I think diluted ammonia takes labels off, but don't mix it with anything and do it in a well ventilated area Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Kals panel uses an omega timer, not sure but the wiring may be different. He specifically says if you use the auber timer you are on your own for wiring. Hope this helps

I read in another thread (wookie jack clone) about a podcast from Firestone walker and how they hot whirlpool for a half hour or more. I figure if it works for them why it try it? Anyway, a few minutes may be all you need...maybe an experiment is in order

I like to let them steep for 20-30 minutes after flameout before chilling. It would be better if you had a pump to whirlpool while steeping.

It's been over a month since I moved into my house and my strut is sill standing uncut in the corner of my garage....arrrrrrgh. I need to get motivated...as soon as my wife keeps deciding to retile bathrooms and buy new ranges and microwavesWTF ok done venting ow

Hello team I picked up 5 gallons of unpasteurized cider from a small orchard in RI and I plan on fermenting spontaneously. Some sources say make a starter with apple skins but I was hoping to just fill a carboy and let go for a week. If I see no signs of fermentation I will have some white wine...

Maybe, the other reason is I have one of those temp things stuck on my carboy so I like to keep it real during primary. YMMV. I wasn't aware that plastic first then glass is standard protocol.

Mtnagel said it right, schedule is flexible. I just add my first dry hop when I rack to secondary, typically about ten days. I primary in a glass carboy so I can observe fermentation then secondary in a plastic bucket. I usually dry hop in nylon paint strainer bags ( from Home Depot) so the hops...

Yes your ratio would be similar to mine. If you want a lot of blueberry flavor you could definetly up the amount, like I said mine has a slight twinge of blueberry in the background. I wouldn't worry about adding until secondary, Apfelweins primary doesn't ferment too vigorously so there's no...

Last summer I took my kids blueberry picking and ended up with like 8 pints, way more then we could eat so I froze about 3pounds. Freezer mishap, blah blah the berrys defrosted at the same time I was making my 5 gal apfelwine and I added these right to the carboy. After about 2 months in the...

Firestones yeast is detailed earlier in this thread; that said, I have brewed this twice using different yeast strains and both batches have been excellent although not quite wookie jack. One of my friends said I was an alchemist after tasting it. Definetly a great beer and a great recipe. I...

Awesome, thanks! Did you build your own manifold? I like your pilot system but I can't really tell what you did is that copper for the gas line .

This is what I will be doing, I have 50' of 3/8 copper, hope its not too much for my pump,to push the wort

Nice job. Are you using cast iron pipe to bottom drain your keggles?

Looks good. I just moved and also have several tube TVs, unloading them sucked. I also still have a VCR for Disney movies for my kids. Trapped in the 90's

You got laid from your keggles? That's awesome

I'm going to try cutting with a harbor freight metal blade in my junky chop saw. Should work fine right?

I got my strut and connectors today at HD going for a 3 vessel single tier on casters. Long road ahead

Dude your avatar is badasss. I'm scared of pressure canning

I like your pilot system. Do you have a parts list? Maybe the most progress in five days of any build I've seen.
