Well transfer pump blew a seal so now this is my ultra complex cold crash method for now.

Does Brun'water take into account grain bill or does that even matter? I didnt utilize that page and just plugged in the water treatment variables. Is it possible to add water treatment post fermentation. I can factor it based on probably the 2.5 gallons going into serving keg and can add prior...

I DL BruNwater and played around with it. Took me a little bit to figure out amounts you enter are per gallon. Comparing to brewfather there was significant difference in calcium and chloride amounts

So up until now I have only used spring water for my brews with no treatments. Through my research I can tell water quality is of significant importance especially with NEIPA which I am mainly brewing. Due to this I went ahead and ordered all the salts, etc I need to adjust water in future...

New brewing area is out back under covered patio. I ended up going with 1800W Duxtop off Amazon. It will produce a boil but not a rolling boil like you would get with 240V. Still works well, I just need to adjust brew profile to match boil off. Didnt plan on this for recent batch and numbers got...

I actually found a 1/2hp Transfer pump for pond on offer up for $20. Will fill my 65L Artic cooler with 40lb ice and water and let it run non stop when its time to cold crash. When I used submersible pump to cool down wort starting at 175F there was still ice remaining when it reached pitching...

Plan as of now put fermenter in icebath for 12 hours to get as much as possible to drop. Closed transfer thru filter screen (20mesh) into liquid purged keg. Will be filled thru floating dip tube. Will then put keg in keezer to continue the cold crash for remainder of time before transferring to...

I have floating dip tube already just never used it. Is it possible to fill a keg thru the diptube? This way dont need toremove fittings and let in O2. Only downside to this I wont be able to do liquidnpurge as I imagine enough water would remain to affect beer I think I can remove legs on...

It will be a liquid pre purge prior to filling. I imagine will be a lot of hop matter so I anticipate it getting clogged. Not sure how I can get around it. Next batches I could just use shortened dip tube and sacrifice a gallon after cold crashing if I use ice packs and cooling coil I may be...

Unfortunately my spike flex wont fit into keezer to cold crash so I have to transfer to 5gal corny. Id rather not cut off another diptube so was wondering if I could fill purged keg thru gas post so I can have filter screen in place on dip tube to filter trub when I transfer to serving keg will...

I have been down this road before and ill share my experience fermenting in Corny keg. First what size batch you doing? if you dont have float dip tube there is no need to buy. Cut few inches off liquid out to keep above trub level. I had a 300micron tube around mine that filtered a lot of crap...

I usually do whirlpool but decided to try something different brew day did not go as planned. Supposed to be easy day with work and was exact opposite. Also using new induction plate threw off the boil. That along with really crappy efficiency caused numbers get all jacked up. Came in at 1.056...

Received a few little accessories to utilize in home brew setup and wanted to try them out so I decided to take all the yeast, hops, grains I have and throw them into a recipe (I do have a few other grains but decided on these for this style) 3gal batch size 3.5lb golden promise 1.75lb maris...

Well this turned out be total flop. Spike wont fit in keezer for cold crash so need to use spare keg for this. Pressure transferred to keg tonight to cold crash but ball lock kept getting clogged even with racking arm pointed up. Of the 3 gal I was able to get out 1.5 gallon. Once done I opened...

Recently received Anvil 5.5 kettle and used on last brew in house on stove. While mashing wife said smelled like brownies but as soon as hops went in I got the “you will be brewing outside from now on. That smells awful” with that being said been looking at induction plates on Amazon and not...

Mashed at 152 for 80min then 10min at 170. Due to mill size from LHBS I have to do this to keep efficiency in mid 70% range

Used brewfather with lactose factored in and gave me FG of 1.017. I hit my OG of 1.064 with temp control at 66F

Took gravity reading before coconut and dry hops so couldnt be coconut. Tasted day after and needs more hop flavor but coconut. Def there

Took gravity reading last two days and its 1.022. Both sample were degassed. I was expecting 1.017 so not sure whats going on. Temp has maintained 66avg since last Sat. Thoughts?

Sabro was the original plan but LHBS didnt have them. I could have ordered online but rather give them the $. I decided to go with more citrus which may get more of a pina colada flavor.
