Haven't use Jamil's pitching rate calculator before. Getting two results, one is for a 2L Simple Starter, other is for a 1.16L Intermittent Shaking Starter. Can't find any info about what an "Intermittent Shaking" starter is. Assuming "simple starter" is just boil, cool, pour and...

There is a long discussion about this topic on the Brewing Network Podcast Session 01-17-10 with Russian River Brewing (Think Pliny). They talked awhile about filtering and using gelatin. They basically love the gelatin, used or have been using commercially and at the brew pub...sort of as a...

I just ordered up a bunch of 3/8 soft copper online...for obvious reasons. Question what is the 3/8 referring to the OD or ID? (Was going to head to hardware store over lunch and get some tubing and fittings.)

What are people's thoughts about adding the puree to the primary after the primary fermentation and leave it in that container (bucket), then after the second primary fruit fermentation move to secondary to clarify. Or should I get the beer away from the initial yeast cake from initial fermentation.

I am making an Apricot Ale and will be adding Oregon Fruit purée in the next day or so to the secondary. Have 5.25 gal in the primary bubbling away, will be headed to a 5 gal secondary. I would normally fill that SOB right to the top, but with the addition of some more food for the yeast, do I...

Ok, so my crazy active fermentation was fueled partially by an extra 8 to 10 degrees. I suppose I am going to have some off-flavors. I have been contemplating the fish tank heater in a bucket, to move the fermentation operation back to the basement. A good reason to actually do that.

I just recently stuck a surface thermometer on a bucket after I had an Ale had almost a negative lag time. I have been keeping the carboys/buckets fermenting in the upstairs bathroom because basement is too cold right now. I have been making sure the room is about 68-70 and not worrying about...

Which of those two do you like better? Just got my code for promash...so why would I want to off load another $30ish for one of these other applications?

I ordered promash a few days ago with CC and have heard nothing. Does anyone know if they are backed up on orders or has anyone had the same experience? Today is brew day and I am taking screen shots to save my recipe for today's action. -Jeremy

spoiler...newbie question, i am keeping the water level right at the top of the grain or only slightly above right? Then same in as out?

oh come on, I am not brewing beer because it is easy. It is a challenge, why bother otherwise.

I am putting together a mash tun from coolers around the house, he just happened on a 5 gallon water cooler, like new...when on earth did I buy that? Anyway, I have installed a ball valve and a stainless steel screen (faucet hose screen) I am trying to think how I want to make the sparge...

Thought i should have just said "put" not "stuck"...I don't think I have a "stuck" fermentation, bad choice of words

I did a stove top 1.5 gallon batch of AG using the filter bag technique (See http://brewing.lustreking.com/articles/stovetopallgrain.html) Don't really want to head this thread in that direction, more important to my question is the volume I stuck into my 6.5 gallon bucket. I had a starting...

Hello everyone, total beginner here. I have dumped one 5 gallon extract batch and done one successful extract porter. I have one gallon of hard cider and just started playing around with AG. I have a fairly successful 1.5 gallon ale in the fermenter right now, using the one pot method, a few...
