    My first fake mead recipe

    A few of worries, witbier

    Thank you, this is great. PBW I saw 1,8kg package being 37€ so this would be cheaper for me.

    A few of worries, witbier

    Would any of you suggest having a power drill with soft bottle brush attached and use that to wipe some of the residue off? Some of the bottle brushes aren't as hard as, say, the plastic of a toilet brush (toilet brush just as an example, not saying that thing should be anywhere near fermzilla).

    A few of worries, witbier

    I might use OxiClean if I get my hands to it. Haven't closed anything off. Where I live tho I have to say I have maybe 20-30% of what is in USA.

    A few of worries, witbier

    What are some of the things are are a big no-no to the Fermzilla? I see bleach/whitening ingredients in some of the dishwashing machine products. If I were to not use OxyClean or anything like that, these are the products that KegLand suggests: - StellarClean (thinking, just use a very minimal...

    A few of worries, witbier

    It's hard to get my hands to OxyClean in Europe. By Fairy I mean Fairy (brand) - Wikipedia but it's not for dishwasher since it foams too much. If the direction is "go towards something that's used in dishing washing machines" alright, I can buy Sun dishwashing powder. Finish and Fairy had...

    A few of worries, witbier

    How about Fairy? Better to use something that is used in dishwasher due to the potency? I'm always suspicious with them saying to "use only our products". Well, I was going to aim for just plain witbier but hybrid will do as well. 😄

    A few of worries, witbier

    What would you suggest for a fermzilla cleaner? PBW is quite expensive. How about beer yeast?

    Good, thank god I noticed early enough to change the fermenting space!

    A few of worries, witbier

    I red some forums and for lack of better information, I returned it back to 22c after 45minutes of being in the warmer temperature. Thinking of "high temperature produces banana flavour" I thought it'd be naturally close to 30c since that is Mangrove Jack M20s top range.

    A few of worries, witbier

    So I'm making witbier and this is my recipe: Would a few things be a problem: a) I noticed the fermzilla had some krausen/hop residue left which I didn't notice before. After previous batch I poured in fermzilla with water and starsan, let it sat there for days, siphoned it away, put another...

    Which are the easiest beers to brew?

    This is my another trial where I took notes: 15th March Witbier 7.3 liters Pilsner Malt 41,26% 0,84kg Crisp Torrified Wheat 19,65% 0,4kg Weyermann Wheat Malt Pale 25,59% 0,521kg Rice hulls 10% 175g Oven temperature 67,5-69,9c. I had water in a cup, where I took the temperature. I didn't trust...

    Fermzilla lids threads screwed up

    Yeap, the threads of the lid.

    Fermzilla lids threads screwed up

    Hey, Even if I try to be moderate with tightening my balllocks and airlocks to my fermzilla lids, the threads just get messed up easily. Is there some sealing mass I can use to fill the air leaks? I also thought about 3d-printing new threads (did already an .stl) but that's something I wouldn't...

    Can an overnight mash recover a too hot mash?

    What's alpha and beta?

    Which are the easiest beers to brew?

    Oops, I really ment 60. 😅 I'll adjust the recipe. Is the ratio with my hops ok? E: I have something at the inside walls of my fermzilla. I hope it's not mold and it's just done by the hops. Maybe the yeast didn't active well enough and left room for mold to grow.

    Which are the easiest beers to brew?

    Light like lagers. Banana is a flavor I like though that'd be easiest to get with my systems during summer when it's naturally warmer inside. I got the recipe ready from this beer article. I adjusted the OG, FG and BU:GU to get to Witbier levels. I suppose I did alright since I hit those...

    Can Seamer DIY

    I'm into 3d design too and I love this.

    Which are the easiest beers to brew?

    Before it was dark lagers and more IPAs. Now it has been little bit of sours, less IPAs, some NEIPAs and wheat beer is my favourite. Also I don't know what's in it, but Blanc 1664 I like a lot. For what I've understood witbier is like a light version of something like a hefeweizen. It could have...

    Which are the easiest beers to brew?

    Okay, so might be the yeast. I had a yeast package in my fridge, of which half I had used to my previous brew. I now have three packages of Mangrove Jacks M20 at the fridge unopened. Wow, people really dislike that yeast. I did actually do a stout or porter once and was successful with...
