When I made my last brew I put it in the fermentor at about 79, sealed it up added the themp probe to the thermowell and let it cool the rest of the way to 62 before pitching the yeast(WY1050). The next morning I had active fermentation however it had appeared that the compressor died on the...

I made my IPA today. Though it was probably my smoothest brew day(thanks to my friend who came over to help) it was also the one with the craziest issues. I was going to brew Friday, but held off a day so I could have more time to prepare, which was smart since I ended up needing to get another...

I dont know if this is full or not. But I'd be down to play if a spot is available.

Yeah Keptinis kinda peaked my interest about everything. Something I definetly want to try down the road. It just got me thinking about all the different ways one could brew.

Hey all I came across this blog post talking about makin Keptinis. I have to say the idea of baking a mash in an oven really interests me. But it really makes me think about different styles of beer that you don't hear about very often. Does anyone have any recipes, links or stories of beer...

Have you heard if they are going to release more varieties of hops in cryo form?

Hey all, I caught the bug to start looking at an electric system when I get out of the condo (or maybe before if the stars align) I was looking at The Electric Brewery for Ideas and direction, but to have the mash process totally separate from the HLT, so I was thinking using a RIMS Rocket...

Be careful with smaller units. I recently built my kegerator, and amongst the issues that I have with it, is the cooling unit from the fridge is too small to effectively cool the space for the kegs which was about 3 times larger than what the cooling system was ever meant to do. What it tends to...

Thank you for the answer. Somehow even using the search I can never find the other threads to answer my questions.

Thank you for the quick replies. So if I use the Immersion chiller to drop the temp for the cold break. At what temperature will the cold break be done so I can switch over to the plate chiller?

Hey all, The past couple brews I've done I have suffered from a lack of a decent cold break due to issues with chillers. I'm brewing this weekend and I have a question regarding my plan to chill my wort. I'm making an IPA and want to do a 30 min whirlpool hop at 165 before chilling the wort...

Thanks everyone so much for all the ideas. I'm glad to know its an easy fix and I'm just putting too much thought into it.

Hey everyone I thought this would be the best place to put this as the GBF guys are the ones putting the most thought into Spunding and other thoughts. I cold crashed my IPA last night. I ferment in corney kegs with a blowoff tube attached to the gas post, this time into a water bottle spiked...

If I followed the forumla correctly, at a pitch rate of 1 million cells per, it comes out to 6.1 trillion cells. I think a better question is how much sugar can dissolve into room temperature water. Since no one is pitching yeast into boiling wort. And as it cools sugar would fall out of...

Thanks so much for all the fast answers. I not sure I would consider this a goal since it would take upwards for 60'something pounds of grain to hit the mark. But I also just put that gravity into brewers friend's ibu calculator and it takes a lot of hops to just move the needle a little.

Hey Everyone this might not be the right place to put this, But I'm curious about what the max amount of sugar that can dissolve into water is. I found a site that says that it is 500g of sugar to 100ml of water. I did all math with the unit converter and was pretty loose with rounding but when...

I just want to quickly mention that Raw wheat, and flaked wheat are not actually malted. The flaked wheat would be fine to use in the mash but the raw wheat would benefit from being cereal mashed before adding to the mash if you go that route.

No rappers. Bit I am looking forward to making a Metallica Marzen.

when this thread was about 5 pages in, I wanted to make a thread for goofy( making the beer in a pot made from the skulls of your enemies), arcane, joking brewing practices. But thats kinda what this became so no point now.

I have gone about as far as pre-boiling and am pretty happy with the results. It's hard for me to comment on the success because I changed that and so many things in my system and used a new recipe. I read all the materials as best I could from the LOB website, and then went looking for other...
