    Warm Fermented Lager Thread

    I'm curious how long your lag time was for the diamond yeast. First time using it and I'm about 36 hours into fermentation and it's only dropped about 3 points from a 1.051OG. maybe I'm impatient but not the "vigorous" fermentation that the description says. I am fermenting a little cooler than...

    Coffee Roaster - WTB

    Looking to enter the world of coffee roasting. Anyone moved up to higher end roasters that may have some beginner to middle range roasters they are wanting/willing to part with? Not really looking to start at the repurposed popcorn popper route, but also want to try to learn on something...

    Has anyone?

    i only use to adjust my water profiles to match certain styles. varies, but maybe only a gram or so for 5G batches. Search out some of the other forum topics on Brun'n Water or Beersmith's water profile calculators for more info on how it's used and what effects different levels would have in...

    Has anyone?

    it's used for water chemistry to adjust for style (along with many other additions - calcium chloride, table salt, epsom salt, etc). Quite common for those that build up from RO or adjust their local water. Gypsum is also quite commonly used in many foods. Also once heard a fact/rumor that the...

    Yeast is getting hard to get, whose starting to make more yeast?

    outside of Omega yeasts I've been able to find everything I've been looking for. I agree with the comment above that it's not all available in one place, but it is there for purchase. I just picked up 3 packs of the Lallemand Voss and some of their diamond lager strains that are all on sale at...

    Ranco buttons don't seem to work

    @day_trippr Thanks for the recommendation. After my first unsuccessful attempt that was raising the temp, i went back and did this again literally flipping the lock/unlock switch about 30 times and it is working a bit now. i have to mash the down arrow twice to get degree down each number, but...

    Ranco buttons don't seem to work

    Ahhhhh, that seemed to reactivate the buttons but both the arrow buttons now raise the temp. Yikes !! Me thinks I may need a replacement :mad:

    Ranco buttons don't seem to work

    Been having some flaky responsiveness from the programming buttons on my Ranco single stage controller. It's on my glycol chiller and is hard wired in. Whenever I try to press the set button to make changes it does nothing. I've tried holding in the buttons, pushing from different angles, etc...

    Brew Boss Systems

    I agree on the COFI, I wouldn't not use it but I do have more brews with the lid off then with it on. I've tried rice hulls with gummier mashes but it still doesn't replace manually stirring to get my wort levels matching inside and outside the basket. I mentioned in another thread how i cycle...

    Brew Boss Systems

    As a brew-boss owner and user for last few years i can say without a doubt it is a piece of cake to operate. There is a bit of a learning curve to get a perfectly scripted complex brew, but i was doing just fine on my first brew using a basic template. I find the Beersmith XML export imports...
