You could always rack it into another fermenter before lagering if it disturbs you. I’m a big fan of clean beer and will switch fermenters in a moment if I feel I don’t want it touching something. A few years back I had a wicked pellicle on my beer and although the beer was fine (as everyone...

Ah. I looked back and it appears to be humorous trash talking. If I had posted something like, the Titans have a poorly designed logo, just like their offensive playbook, would that have been more appropriate for the intent of the thread?

This year I’ve watched two football games with my favorite teams, the 49ers and the Vikings. Unfortunately, I watched the games where the 49ers and Vikings played the Seahawks and the Packers respectively. I’m beginning to think I’m jinxing my teams by turning on the TV. Even worse is, that...

Reading your thread, I had several questions of my own, so I did a little research. One of the more informative sources of information I ran into was a thread from this forum from about a decade back. The URL is as follows...

I have large conical fermenters and have no easy way to lager a Märzen in my garage fridge. I think I just found a solution! This fellow uses plastic storage bins as fermenters. I think I’m going to give it a go.

You can watch the lessons and access the supporting material (e.g., handouts, quizzes) whenever you have time. I still have access to material from a course that ended in August. From their support page: The trick is that one must sign up for the course before it ends, in order to access the...

Hello! I grew up in the northwest of Colorado, in the Arvada, Broomfiled, and Boulder areas. Post graduation, I’ve since moved out to the Bay Area. I still have family out in Colorado, so am there at least once or twice a year. I miss it terribly. By chance I was recruiting at the...

I read on reddit that Professor Kevin Verstrepen (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology) has created a massive open online course (MOOC) on the science behind beer. The course goes live on edX on 24 Feb 2020. The user u/swarlie goes on to state: It’s edX, so it’s free. I’m already signed...

I bought one! Thank you for your persistence. It’s greatly appreciated. :)

Augh. I’m so embarrassed. I had messaging off. I also can’t figure out how to PM. You know, maybe I don’t deserve a thermometer. I probably couldn’t figure it out. :no:

Augh. I’m so embarrassed. I’ll get with the program.

I have never heard of MeowWolf until now! I’ll have to check that out as well. Thanks for the tip!

California Common: 3.5 gallons IPA: 5 gallons Total: 8.5 gallons I started brewing a decade ago, however after several new babies my brewing went on pause. By chance I read up on BIAB (whole grain is so time consuming) and thought I’d jump back in. I found BIAB to be Goldilocks-just-right for...

I assume your copper pipes are a heat sink to move heat from the outside of the tower that makes it through the insulation down into the cooler. I have to tell you, that is absolutely inspired. I have a three-tap tower as well, which I heavily insulated. The quantity of beer in the lines is...

Indeed. (Spoken in the voice of Teal’c from Star Gate: SG-1.) Thanks to you for planting the seed. A second comment was all it took to motivate the switch. :rock:

I travel a lot. If I do something beer-worthy (e.g., big presentation), I’ll buy myself some local beer from wherever I might happen to be. Tonight I am drinking 2920 IPA by Second Street Brewery. Second Street is located in Santa Fe, NM and has been in business since 1996. The beer is 7.3%...

Pfft. That’s nothing. I had a pellicle that looked like a yellow, tentacled space alien on my beer a few years back. As someone who gets put off by ooky things (I can’t eat boiled eggs or jello), it was almost too much. However, I’m also cheap, so I wanted to drink that beer. On the advice...

I sent a couple of request for a code but never received one. I’m getting the feeling that Inkbird doesn’t want me to know the precise temperature of liquids at an affordable price.

You’re not the first person to tell me to fix my avatar, so I finally changed it up. There was some resistance from my wife on buying boxed syrup. The 2 L bottles were an experiment to see if I could get the family interested in a new serving format. I had to put it on hold though, due to the...

I have Diet Coke in my kegerator. I bought a bunch of inexpensive 2 L bottles on sale and filled up a 5 gallon corny keg. It went in carbonated, so after it cooled it was ready to drink. Unfortunately, the Diet Coke went through a line that was previously used for beer so it didn’t taste very...
