the extra alc. smack maybe from the yeast eating the extra priming sugar. But not much. Give it a could of weeks to mellow and think you will be fine. You can do pump whirlpool if you have a pump, but can also get a bladed unit to use with a drill.

I would brew same bee again, the same way and see if you get same results. But that is if it means that much to you, lol. You are going to make beer and if you don't freak out about numbers, you can play around with as much as you want. Kind of like baking vs. cooking. Bakers need to measure...

Ok was thinking it was finished beer. So just allow for fermentor loss?

So 10 gal that was put in barrel in 2017 and pulled in January 6 gal barlywine 6 NEIPA 6 IPA so 28 gal ish lol 28 + 1761.5= 1789.5

This. Here in North Carolina, winter can be cold/ low humidity one day and 70 with tropical front the next, lol. In Beersmith I made two equipment profiles- one for high humidity and one for low. But I do brew in a garage so it changes a lot. If in house, not so much

I got my second kegerator used of Craiglist. Had been used by a homebrewer so set up already for ball lock. But had been put for 6-8 months with old beer in lines. I changed all the lines- gas and bev. I mean, if I am going to take the time to do one, might as well do both. Would rather start...

It might. Cold means the humidity is lower so evaporation is higher. And the grain might be drier that what the calculator is allowing for. Keep good notes, including what the weather was on brew day, brew the same beer a few times and see if any thing changes. Then start changing things to see...

I scrub new to me used kegs the first time I clean them- also replace all the O rings. After that, when one kicks, I pop the top that day or the next, rinse with hot tap water, then fill with hot homemade PBW for an overnight soak. Next day dump, rinse twice, fill with StarSani for at least a...

This! I got a NEIPA that got 1 oz Apollo at 30 min boil, 1 oz Lemondrop and Azzaca at day 2 and again at day 4. Just moved it to keg to carb and it is almost like a grapefruit juice

Yeah, my next challenge is cracking it open and try to add a buzzer. I want the hop alarm dang it!

LOL it would be the blind leading blind! So, I went from Strange brew to CraftBeer Pi. Had to get new card and put fresh install of everything on it , then did 2.2.... 3 times before it worked. Then 3.0 came out and I thought "Ok, can't be as bad to upgrade as to switch." Wrong. Took three...

If you go to 3.0, use the Master Branch vs. the other one has issues. And plan to install it 3 times. Not sure why, but it always takes 3 times before everything meshes...

If you need just a few degrees, you can do the "swamp cooler" route. Get a good size tote that your fermenter will fit in and fill 1/3 with cold water, dip towels in water and drape around fermenter letting towels hang into water. Put a box fan in front of it on low to med. The evaporation...

Sounds like the perfect time to do some taste testing!!

Yeah, I go with light and hoppy= drink faster. Dark/ malty= forget about it as long as you can, lol

yeah, every time I update it I have to do it 3 times to get it to work, lol

I got my Hosehead used and move it over to CraftbeerPi. It was a bit of a pain because I am not a computer guy but got it done. It is still growing so there are updates and the Facebook group is active. Do yall know if the Hosehead has a buzzer built in? I cant find any thing about it and mine...

I have done it both ways. Maybe a little more hoppyness tossed in, but more of a pain to deal with after. The bag was good but it can compress down and make a hop ball dried in center. I just got a SS hop container last week and just pitched a NEIPA yesterday. I plan my first dry hop today. I...

This is what I use: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Domino-Dots-Sugar-Cubes-1-lb-Pack-of-12/17768249 One cube per bottle for 12 oz bottle, 2 for 22 oz bottles. This put me just about perfect for 85-90% of what I bottle
