i went from a 3V HERMS to a 15G Brew Boss. couldn't be happier and saw ZERO change in my final product. not saying that 3 vessels don't provide more control, but i have every bit of control i need (and then some) with the Brew Boss. Not trying to sell you on Brew Boos, but i did exactly want...

Had the same thing happen on a brew earlier this year where i mashed at 156. Voss just flat stopped at that spot on 1.065 OG. I ended up trying out alpha amlyse enzyme on that brew as it was too sweet to drink. AE dropped it to 1.006 which was kind of the other end, but i preferred the drier...

Agree with @Jag75 on the mash temp. i played around with mashing higher (155 - 156) on some NEIPAs and i could never get them to attenuate below 1.018 - 1.020 and that was with using Kveik yeast as well (too sweet for me). I've played around with upping the amt of oats in my recipe, and also...

Please count me in. And thanks for the giveaway Delta !!

dropped you a PM, but as a new member not sure if you are getting them. let me know

i thought i was in the same situation when setting up my electric brewery using the dryer outlet. It was a 3 wire plug and appeared to be a 3 wire run. I peeled back a little further in the wiring and it was indeed a 4 wire that for some reason they wired up as 3 and clipped the 4th wire back...

This reminds of an annual competition here in the Tampa area with several breweries to kick off our Beer Week. Basically each brewery picks 2 random ingredients out of a hat and has to make a beer with them. Some really nail some crazy good beers, others not so much. I have volunteered many...

Seems a lot to pay for a tank. I have a 20, two 5s, and a 1 lb paintball tank. Got them all basically free or Uber cheap. The 20 stays hooked up to the keezer but that has dual regulator settings to do higher carb setting as you mention wanting. But honestly, the 1 lb tank gets a lot of use...

Yes to this. Once you get a few batches under your belt get a copy of this book. This is probably the only book that I still pull out frequently to reread certain pieces.

I agree with your smaller batch approach until you get more familiar with the process and being able to brew more often will certainly increase your knowledge. Especially if you already have the equipment for the smaller batches or can use what you have in the kitchen already. Also, i'd skip...

wow, that's quite the setup. downsizing? or this from a nano?

Just connected up to the chiller and pitched bell's harvested yeast into a Two Hearted Clone. Up'd the hop schedule a bit from the official recipe cause i had some lower than usual AA% Centennial hops. Bought a 6'er of Two Hearted last month as hadn't had in awhile and forgot how good it was...

Just used it, but not warm and not under pressure. It's been lagering for about 2 weeks in the keg, but early impressions are i don't really like how it turned out and will be going back to 34/70 i did save some slurry although i doubt i'll try it again. maybe i'm an anomaly, but it didn't...

Great call out on pizza dough flour @Jayjay1976 one of the first things i stopped doing when making pizza dough was using any typical grocery store type flour (not to say you can't get good flour there). I've settled on the Caputo brand "00" flour for my use. Have found a 55# sack from...

Not sure if this belongs here so feel free to delete or move if it should go elsewhere. I was at Total Wine yesterday picking up some Allagash (which is available for a limited time here in FLA - Yeah Allagash) and while there I saw all Sierra Nevada six packs were 5 bucks. Worker there said...

Ouch. My username reflects me learning this the hard way as well !!

Saturday to Saturday - Brewed on first saturday, was drinking it from the keg the next. Kveik hot is a miracle for grain to glass records. Was an IPA with a dry hop 12 hours in, still finished fast, left in fermentor until Wednesday primarily for more hop contact time. 24hrs on 30PSI, then set...

Appreciate the tip on Tractor supply carrying this. I just realized the stuff i bought previously on Amazon went from 26 to 37 a gallon (in less than 2 months) - but tractor supply has in stock at a store a few miles from my house for $25/gallon. THANK YOU @jschein !!!!

Not sure how robust your local library system is but i was surprised at the number of quality and current brewing books i was able to get from mine. Might want to check out what they have.

I don't brew a lot of lagers, so not sure what's gonna happen but i will be kegging a lager this weekend and will also be brewing an IPL on the same day. I want to put the IPL wort on top of the previous yeast cake but due to warm florida chilling temps, i can only get my wort down to about 85...
