    iBrewMaster 2 problems

    I haven’t found any way. Unfortunately. If you haven’t reset it yet you should be able to export recipes. But once you rest the app won’t reinstall.

    How do you travel with your homebrew?

    Growlers. or if it’s going to be a few days before drinking I use 2 liter soda bottles with a carbonator cap.

    The untold mystery about sanitization....

    When I first started brewing I used bleach and rinsed well. At some point I picked up some PBW, not realizing that it is not a sanitizer. I brewed a bunch of batches with only using PBW to ‘sanitize’. Never noticed an issue. Ultimately I realized what I was doing and switched to star-San.

    2 perlick Flow Control Faucets

    They are the 650 Flowcontrol series. (not the 650SS).They are chrome plated brass. Tried to look online for a model number but all I see is the SS version. They must have stopped making these in the chrome plated brass. Price is negotiable.

    No carbonation kegging.

    Or could be a bad gauge. Instead of 14 psi you are maybe at 4 psi. 14 psi at 2 weeks should be plenty to get carbonated.

    I want to go into All-Grain

    Best value for your money is a $70 turkey fryer and a cooler mash-tun. Can go all-grain for less then $200. But I must admit the electric systems look nice if you have the cash to spend.

    Any downside to a low boil off rate?

    I'm sorry I do not agree with boiling with the lid on. Boiling gets rid of off flavors like DMS that evaporate of with the boil. If you keep the lid on or even partially on, it will condense on the lid and end up back in your beer. I keep the lid on while bringing it to boil, then when it's...

    Blew the Lid Off

    Hefewiezen yeast is notorious for fast fermentation and I've blown the top in the past with it.

    First Brew Day in the Books!

    Holy cow. You have been planning your brew day for 2 years! You’ve got nicer gear then I do and I’ve been going at it about 20 years now. My fist Brew Day was a trip to the LBSH and a $100 equipment kit and some extract.

    Intertap beer faucets

    Well I’m confused.... I have a couple of intertap faucets I bought from Atlantic Brew Supply in Raleigh a year of or two ago. No idea if they are real or not. I would think so since I bought from large, established LBSH. But now I’m not so sure. In any case they work great.

    First brew day completed........

    Agreed. Used to drink while brewing and that is a recipe for disaster. Now I generally on Sunday morning and I will wait until the boil is done before having the first beer. Much safer.
