Hey, glad it ended up getting better with time, that’s great. Patience is key! Oh, I was talking to myself there, because I rush pretty much all of my beers. They end up fantastic right around the time the keg kicks and I regret the several weeks I drank it too young :( Keep learning and...

Had one years ago in college, loved it and Will own another. I digress. Dan

Beer and Teles are my two passions:) Bought my first Tele when I was 13 and it sits right by my home office desk. Interested to hear the results of your experiment! Dan

Tapcooler bottle filler and ball lock CO2 adaptor. This thing looks awesome, can’t wait to try it. First use; bottling beers to visit my parents for the first time in SOOOO long after being vaccinated! 😍 Got this from the nearest homebrew shop - 1hr away, but still cool that they’re the...

That’s great, thanks for the suggestions! I’ve only got a 5lb CO2 tank for my 4-tap kegerator and all other operations currently, so CO2 tank savings are big for me. I did let fermentation start with an airlock for 3 days which likely purged the air in the headspace. I then threw on the...

Man, I can’t wait for that. So close! I’m filling my pipeline as fast as I can for exactly that reason; friends and family. :)

Good guess, but no. Columbus, Indiana.

Surprising for sure. Our 2019 water quality report confirms my TDS meter readings: about 550ppm from one plant and 450ppm from the other here in town. Crazy! I live in an area known for its limestone. Our rivers used to be tourist hot spots back in the early 1900s mineral water craze. Many...

I’m using the Kegland Blowtie for the first time now and it’s great. I especially like the sharkbite outlet fitting so I can use the CO2 to purge kegs. Dan

An overly session IPA. Some of my grains showed up unmilled and I used the food processor. I did a pretty terrible job and ended up way under SG. 3.5% abv IPA, anyone? And that’s after 1/2lb DME during the boil... Trying out a Fermzilla and starsan purging a keg with fermentation CO2 for...

Nice work, you’ll love having that system. I’m a serious kidney stone maker so I have to drink insane amounts of water all day and I work from home. My RO system has been a life (or kidney...) saver, and just so happens to also be convenient for brewing ;) Our TDS out of the city water lines...

Ive gotten 5 used kegs from AIH and all have been in good shape, but pressurized! Surprised they’re allowed to ship like that. Dan

I had COVID back in November and my sense of taste and smell was about 95% back to normal after about 6 weeks. Unfortunately, the remaining 5% still has yet to, and probably will never, return. Certain foods taste like sunscreen (no, not just coconut; sunscreen) and I smell an odd burnt...

Awesome responses, I love you people. This beer is using recovered 34/70 from a previous batch, so similar to the comment above about racking on to a yeast cake, there are more chances to pick up something funky. I’m now having another pint, and I’m wondering if it truly is just something...

I turned a warm fermented lager around in 5 days due to a need to use the fermenter it was in. Was it smart? I was well aware that it might not have been smart. I used 34/70, it is a Czech Pils, and things seemed normal, the sulfur smell was excessive but died down by day 5 and I kegged it...

Found this mess this morning, which did shoot some yeast on the wall before I could get a blowoff rigged up. I’m tired of this with most of my ales. This is 1318 in a 1.056 SG ipa at about 38hrs in. Dan edit; NVM, can see the yeast on the wall in the pic, so it did that overnight.

Why? I have Farmhouse Brew Supply mill my grains twice and my efficiency has been above 85% for my last 3 brews :oops: It’s pretty sweet as long as you’re building your grain bill with that kind of efficiency in mind... Dan

Listen, I’m not proud of my laziness! 😆 I don’t intend to make this a habit. Dan
