No sulphuric at all, although it threw sulfur during fermentation.

Interesting, this would be my first ever obvious or even noticeable infection. I am cold crashing and carbonating it now. I will see how it tastes in a week.

No more like the smell driving by a Wisconsin dairy farm, which this week wouldn’t smell at all. But not strong just enough to make you go ew.

Hi I used about 8% Cologne malt in a Helles I brewed 2 weeks ago. I was trying to add some of the raw grain flavor to the beer. Anyway tried a sample today and am getting a crap flavor I have never gotten in a beer before. By crap I mean a close to poop aroma and flavor. It’s not real strong but...

I was looking at this for the same reason. $102 for two and the gauge to adjust them. https://govreg.us/

Thanks, and noted for my next batch.

Yes I calibrated it. The SG scale just seems to be wrong. This has agreed with my hydrometer for brewing to within a few thousandths.

Hi All. I have been brewing for a while and just started my first mead. Instead of using a hydrometer. To read SG I used a refractometer and what should have been about a 5 gallon batch diluted to 1.115 at a bit over 4 gallons. I now believe that using the refractometer resulted in an error and...

Thanks. Right information and a picture.

Thanks just the information I was looking for.

I will be doing about 60 seconds of oxygen with a wand.

Hi. I’m going to be brewing a big lager and was wondering how big a starter can be made in a 5 liter flask. I’ll be using a stir plate and fermcap. 4 liters should be doable can you actually do a 5 liter in 5 liters? Thanks

Disclaimer, I am not a micro biologist. 1. No. One of strains of yeast will out compete the others in your environment and become the dominant yeast pretty quickly. 2. For die off see 1. 3. Yes. The best way to do a mixed culture yeast is to main the yeasts separately and then mix to pitch...

Thanks.

Hi. I’m about to start storing yeast and would like to go simple and just add glycerin to yeast slurry and freeze. How would I go about ensuring the sanitation of the glycerin? Could you just boil it? Any help would be appreciated.

My wife will be devastated but P Cubed it is.

A 47 for an over the top IPA. No medal. I wonder if they were scoring on a different scale.

Pam’s Passion Porter, or PSquared as I like to call it.
