If its in all your brews I can only think, with limited info, that the only thing in common is the water...do you know water profile? Are you racking in a musty dingy room....heard of airborne contaminants from others... need more info.

@J2W2 - sorry, do not recall the tubing size and away from home so cant help you out there. Mine is set up so that the tubing actually fits up/inside the spigot (vs around it), and hooks up to a liquid disconnect. It is the smaller diameter tubing; common keg tubing (I want to say 3/16"). No...

Not the most ideal situation for lager though an extended lagering period may help it out quite a bit. Lager 32 degrees for 4-6 weeks...may smooth it out and bring a bit closer to what u want...

Update...I was able to enter my recipe. Janis said the address was correct, they renamed the road in honor of the brewery..not sure how that may fix the UPS issues I read about earlier. Rubber bands around labels this year. The bottle labels state clear packing tape - this is wrong and will be...

I'm not a BIAB guy but isn't one of the big pros to biab only having one vessel. a basket to me kinda seems like another vessel with holes in it you have to deal with...have you considered 2 vessel no sparge....my preference personally...mash in cooler using a traditional 1-2 liquor to grist...

I guess I view the cost as relative to peace of mind and time. Considering the cost of SS conicals that are popular with home brewers - I find this cost minimal (not comparing it to quality of a SS conical.. :) Minimal 02 pickup, no worries about opening fermenter to atmosphere, easy hydro...

From my experiences I have not had any contamination issues. Prior to taking a sample or racking to keg I spray starsan solution with spray bottle into the spigot pretty good.

Not sure about that Bronco - when I get a chance I will try it out. I have an ale pale I can use for mock up and let you know. Won't be able to try it out for about a week though....

The SSbrewtech looks cool, is that a complete assembly to be used on anything or just for their stuff ? Good thought though.

I don't have any problems with it being flimsy, have to drill carefully-you can probably find a better drill bit with finer teeth designed for thinner materials though that's what I had on hand so used it. Yes the racking adapter and valve is a bit expensive. The cost was worth it to me...

Hello All...1) Agreed - not for glass!. 2) The pick up tube/racking arm rotates 360 degrees. I like it low so if I want it can reach bottom. 3) I don't have issues with mine sealing, I have heard others mention it though. 4) I just held the bubbler with one hand and drilled with the other, a bit...

I have seen others using the same thing, Bayou Kettles has some, for BIAB....It looks like it would work good for that.

Enter in both cats....never know how it will turn out.

Judgings funny like that. I made a hopped up amber...it was great. So entered it in comp as amber and IPA...same beer same comp diff categories. The judges who scored the amber told me it was hoppy and should be entered as IPA, the judges who scored the IPA told me not enough hops and should be...

I have checked the website numerous times, no information posted on there of use when it comes to Final Round entries. The email that I have received after qualifying simply states that you can log in to the competition center to view your records and that another email will come out when...

I agree...info like when to send, where to send, when will the certificates be available, bottle labels, etc....

lack of healthy yeast, lack of fermentables, not enough time, to cold temps for yeast, or the growler seal is allowing CO2 to escape.

Lack of fermentable. Either incomplete starch conversion or high mash temp.

Has that unit ever been used?

What was your mash temp?
