We used several different types of agar and temperatures to test and see which was the best for the growth of mold, certain bacterias, fungi grow best in. We also had to test an unknown using all the techniques we learned over the semester which was pretty cool. Of course all the microbes we...

I just got finish microbiology and trust me in the right conditions mold can grow at rapid rates. We have grown plenty of bacteria and molds overnight a bunch of times that flourish like crazy.

Haha if I could like this I would lol

20 gallons. 5 gallons of blone ale, Irish red, Boston pilsner, and German wheat. 29,520+20=29,540

Pretty much every time I have brewed has been back to back bc my buddy and I both brew at the same time. It's fun but the wife gets mad lol

Oh and I agree do not rinse off anything once u sanitized in starsan. U could accidentally be infecting your beer which could pose some off flavors. DON'T FEAR THE BUBBLES! lol. I have had bubble flowing out of my secondary after racking and I have never been unhappy with my results.

You actually don't have to sanitize your coil as long as you put it in your wort 10 mins before you 60 min boil is over but it doesn't hurt to sanitize. It's just more or less a waste of time. Of course be sure the coil was cleaned of and debris before dropping it in lol

I would crank the psi up to 30 for the trip to account for the temperature change. Then when u get it back on ice put it back down to 10-12 or whatever u had it at but I'm sure you won't lose much carbonation anyways.

Yup def looks like mold and for anyone that thought that it couldn't grow so quickly, anything can thrive in your beer bc it contains the perfect environment for microbes to flourish. Yeast isn't the only microbe that ferments sugars lol.

Northern brewer has some good 1 gallon kits to get your feet wet. I started with a gallon of caribou slobber and I must say it was awesome. After that I was hooked and bought everything I needed to make 5 gal batches from the keg to a brewing spoon lol.

Maybe the tubes on the inside are mixed up?

Yeah I found that out with the blonde ale a we ago. I had to dispense at like 2 psi lol

Yeah it's a German wheat so from what I ready they are suppose to be around 3.0. Thanks that's what I needed to know

I keep my beer at room temperature till I decide to bottle. The pressure I keep it at is 30psi. Now for the question. Do i keep it at this pressure or do I lower it once I achieve the carbonation I want? Thanks for the help everyone

Everything got a good wash down with the starsan cleaner so I doubt that contamination is the issue. They brew tasted awesome till this morning when I tried it yesterday and it has a weird kinda metallic bite to it. At first thought I was thinking I over carbonated it but it doesn't floam up...

German wheat beer and a red lager tomorrow along with a steak cookout. Mmm can't wait

I just received my new cap and it works perfectly. I need a screw driver just to pry the handle lol.

I'm assuming I'm good. I didn't know you had to seat the seal. I assumed that it wouldn't leak from the start but I guess they all leak for the first few seconds at the tanks fills. I did however order a new cap lol

Thanks everyone. I think ill give swing tops a shot. I just got my kegging system yesterday so I'm pretty excited about getting my 5 gallon batch into it next week.

I didn't mention a specific psi but I did say that it would leak for the first few seconds and was wondering if that was normal. This kinda answers my question though. Thanks!
