Thanks!

Quick question for those harvesting magnets from old HDDs: I've managed to disassemble a couple old, dead HDDS and remove the magnets from them. Unfortunately the magnets are affixed in some unknown way to an oddly shaped, kind of curved 'backing plate' for lack of a better term. There are no...

Seconding this. The 1st time that I dry hopped without using a bag was the last time I'm ever doing that ;)

This might be a dumb question but I want to confirm before I proceed: I can use the FF adapter but still ferment at standard temps and for the standard time, correct?

What is a realistic, real-world batch size for doing BIAB using a 5.5 gallon kettle? I'm currently using a Picobrew Pico and I'm finding that the 1.25 gallon batch size to be too limiting, so I'm thinking about making the jump to BIAB. I'm limited to brewing in my kitchen on a 10 year old gas...

Just call it a "NE-style blonde ale". Problem solved!

I havent gotten into making starters quite yet, but I drink yeast slurry from the bottom of a bottle or keg all the time. Call me weird but I kind of like the odd 'spiciness' of yeast slurry :confused:

How would one know if they had a pack with the new hop pouches? Is there an obvious difference between the old and new?

So, this is probably a dumb question that has been answered somewhere in the last 624 pages but I'm gonna throw it out there again. I've converted a 5 gallon AG recipe to extract and then divided it by 5 to get my amounts for a 1 gallon batch. This particular recipe has a couple grains (flaked...

I've always used standard fermentation, and all my batches but one have fermented for at least 14 days. I have a chest freezer/inkbird/heating mat combo so I can control fermentation temps. I'm thinking that I may try a different yeast next time, just for ****s and giggles. I dont mind...

My first three batches I followed the included instructions and pitched the whole packet of yeast. Batch number four I pitched half a packet. Batch five was a measured teaspoon, and turned out undrinkable. :confused:

Tried a sample of the US05 batch and even flat it's still way better than anything I've had produced by the Pico. Absolutely none of the sour/cidery aroma and flavor that I've come to expect. Don't know why all my Pico batches are so terrible

Did roughly 1/3 pack of US05 in one batch and roughly 1/2 pack of liquid WY1318 in the other. Dry hopped the NEIPA on day five with about 1/2 oz of citra/simcoe. Tons of hop sludge in the fermenter and tons in the keg. So much that it clogged the dip tube :\

They were both extract batches brewed on my stovetop. One was a kit, the other was a NEIPA recipe that I made up.

Transferred two batches of non-pico brewed beer from fermenter to keg last night. Got huge amounts of hop aroma from both batches, something I've never had with a pico brewed batch. Fingers crossed!

Hell yes! :D

We've all drank plenty of star san with no ill effects ;)

They have a brew by date? News to me!

Here's the answer: stick to brewing IPAs and Raspberry wheats.

Week old ones are a bit better. They have a slightly spicier aroma to 'em.
