You like your auto-siphon? Maybe mine is just cheap garbage, but half the time it won't pull any beer on the up stroke and beer gets between the inner and outer tube. Not only that, when I am trying to concentrate on priming the thing, the other end of the hose usually falls out of the thing I...

Wow, So you're cleaning routine seems perfectly legit. It is very strange indeed that your issue crops up after kegging/bottling. The times where I had infection issues was noticed right after primary fermentation. Typically, I taste the sample I pull off to measure final gravity. If it...

Ya, I usually pitch at around 70 and it takes a day or so for that temp to drop and normalize after I move the primary to the floor. So during that time, my temps are ideal for the yeast to wake up and get going. I live in Calgary Alberta and we have extremely hard water and a tremendous...

To tell you the truth, I feel that my issue was infection. After thinking about it, the few times that I had a batch of beer with off/bad flavors, it was fermented in my Fastferment Conical. I have since moved back to just a regular old pail for my primary and have had MANY batches brewed with...

Oh OK! Home Depot (Canada) has regular T.S.P. for about $3.57 per 400 grams. Not quite one pound, but close enough for me.

Also, what about this in place of Seventh Generation? (picture attached) It seems to have similar ingredients and I can buy it locally right now.

Thx for the tips all. Just out of curiosity, what exactly is "Red Label" TSP? Is Red Label the brand name? Or are you saying that the stuff I want has a red label on it? I cannot seem to find either on Amazon.

Can I just get TSP from Home Depot? I don't recall it have "90" in the name though. I just searched Amazon (Canada) till I found TSP with the number 90 in it's name. It seems that the Canadian version of Amazon does not quite have the same items that the US counterpart has.

So does the attached screen shot from Amazon look right?

Found the post! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/homemade-pbw-recipe.467655/page-12#post-8054386 Thx Horseflesh! You as well stan1007!

Thx Mredge73. Ya, I am having a hard time deciphering that "recipe". I don't quite get the layout of the excel snippet.

Lol Good Point! Maybe I should get a pair of those "Evil Scientist" gloves that go up to my armpits?

Hi Seatazzz, I crash cooled to about 75F. Then I pitched US-05 dry. (the all grain was supposed to be a lager) I believe that the fermentation temp was about 66F (19c - I'm Canadian!) for the rest of the fermentation. I had a batch of extract beer going on the same day, with the same yeast...

HI all, I performed a cursory search on these forums and didn't find anything related to my question. So I use PBW. I like it. However, it is stupid expensive. So here is my question. I noticed the very first time I used it, that it looks/smells/feels exactly like "old school" powdered...

Hi tgolanos. Thx for the response. Yes all my tubing is food grade. I certainly wouldn't rule out infection. but... I am OCD when it comes to my cleaning/sterilization routine. I did have a couple batches get infected when I stared out, and I know that taste... but THIS taste is so...

I see that last post in this thread is from 2015... but it's not locked... so I am going to post anyway. So I have been brewing (seriously and continuously) for just over a year. I have made beer/wine plenty in the past as well. I now keg my beer so it's no choir to keep brewing. Having...
