I'm hoping you guys might have some ideas. I used my 1.5" x 16.5" dry hopper yesterday as a filter for the finished wort going directly from the BK into a Better Bottle. I was excited to have this as I had some crazy break in the kettle that I wanted to keep out. However, the initial flow...

I think as part of this, when someone mentions a flavor of the terrible beer and it is an obviously brewing flaw (oxidation, DMS, etc.), folks should respond with their take. It's like beer tasting bingo and pretty helpful for me. Thoughts? This is a home brewing site ...

Glad to hear it worked for you. How hard was it to clean out the strainer afterwards and get it sanitized for future sessions of straining into a fermenter? I saw a couple people say they had used it as a strainer into a bucket, but since I was using Better Bottles I couldn't find a good...

I just ordered one of the 1.5" x 16.5" dry hoppers from Chad. However, I am going to try using it primarily for filtering my wort from the kettle to my Better Bottle. I use an immersion chiller, so I don't need clear wort out of the kettle. I just want it clear in the fermenter. So, I am...

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful information. I made CSI's 17a (Old World) with some modifications (instead of decocting, I cheated and used some melanoidin malt which I know won't be the same) on December 27th. Hit my OG and FG and had the temperature right where it should be during...

My LHBS is Brewmasters so I am very fortunate. I have ordered from Midwest Supplies, Northern Brewer, and Homebrewing.org. All have been great. I would like to order most from Northern Brewer to support Brewing TV, but their prices and shipping are unattractive. Because of that I buy from them...

Dextrose is corn sugar. Malto Dextrin is not fermentable and used to add body. It likely won't Carb your bottles.

Sam Adams Bonfire is straight nasty. Got it in a sampler and it is terrible. Legend Brewing in Richmond had a Smokey Chocolate Stout. Tasted like melted Hershey kisses and liquid smoke. Just awful. Funny thing is I like Smokey beers (Stone's for instance) but these two are ones off the top of...

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, yes, I do flameout hops, but I also usually put the chiller in the boil with around 15 minutes left to "sanitize" it in the boil. I was thinking the only way to make it work would be to almost have a W type bracket on it. It would hook on each side of...

Dumb question, but I use an immersion chiller to cool down my wort. Because of that, I'm figuring the only way to make this work would be to have the stainer in the center of the pot. Any thoughts on the best way to brace it to make that happen? I use a 9 gallon pot from Adventures in...

I may be misunderstanding your post, but it appears you were using your preboil SG and comparing it to their postboil OG. If it was 7.5 gallons preboil at 1.045, that would put it around 1.061 OG at 5.5 gallons postboil. Considering you are adding maple syrup, you might be in the right ballpark.

You have to correct when measuring FG on a refractometer because of the presence of alcohol. I use Brewzors calculator on my phone.

I am interested as well for a bag of Maris or Golden Promise plus possibly some other stuff. If anyone could send a price list I would be most thankful. Jliberma at gmail dot com Thanks.
