Can you describe your phenol off flavor? Also what kind of beer? Starting gravity? What was the process on brew day? Definitely sounds like an infection as miraculix pointed out. Edit: you beat me. 😂

Love the high temp limits. For anything needing neutral yeast I use Lutra and dont have to take up valuable ferm chamber space. I will admit I have found a few faults of some of the Kveik strains. As with any brew you learn and dont repeat right? Its just like any other yeast or tool in that it...

Hoping to get a couple more brews in the next couple weeks. Trying to steal my kettle back between sap runs.

I am in process of opening one, late spring/early summer projected opening. But I am "working" in it every weekend :)

If you didnt see any offgassing then you may have had a leak somewhere. Plastic lids dont seal that well so oxygen could be the issue. I just dumped a full 5 gallons of a scottish ale that I fermented in a spare bucket fermenter I had due to everything else being full. After 10 days in primary...

The amylase will actually convert the starch in the corn mash that you made to sugars, which the yeast can then convert to alcohol. Without any enzymes you just have a big pot of starch which the yeast cannot convert to alcohol.

@fourfarthing , Ive gotta step out of this right now. Just got my hours cut again at work for an unspecified amount of time. Ill check back in two weeks if anything changes and I can get back in before offers are due!

Cheap refractometer or name brand? I ask because I had one in a lot of items I bought off someone that had a different SG scale vs the brix scale. When comparing the two refractometers side by side the brix reading were the same but SG was off anywhere from 3-5 points.

Mock American Lager w/Lutra @ 6% ABV. A friend asked if I could brew a Busch/Bud like beer so I didn’t want to waste any time 😁 turned out great!

I was searching for a similar answer shortly after I bought a brand new taprite 2 product regulator. It eventually disappeared on its own but a member here chimed in later on and said that all new regulators should be “purged” at a high pressure/with no hoses connected to get rid of any oils or...

If you turned off the gas before the keg froze/got colder than your serving temp then it should not be overcarbed. Are you sure that it has completely thawed? It takes a while for 5 gallons of ice to thaw in a refrigerator. If you still have a half a keg of ice messing with the carbonation now...

If the size works for you then yes it would work just fine. As far as controlling the temp of the fridge it depends on how it is controlled from the factory. I have a fermentation fridge that I use like this(sometimes a serving fridge too). The freezer is always cold and I used an STC1000 to...

I’m in! I’ve got a couple weeks between this and the FotHB 😁 As long as there’s a few non-IPA boxes! 😂

Hello from the UP! I did 2-3 extract and jumped into all grain quickly after so I respect the bravery to jump in head first ;)

OG brewery dog with the new rescue pup. Teaching him everything he needs to know.

Hand washed or Dishwasher? Could it be hard water scale? Could try some CLR to see if that clears them up.

Its been done, not sure ive seen any builds around here but I have seen breweries that do just that. https://brewhaequipment.com/products/build-your-own-biac

Works for me!

Haha. @whoeveryouarenow I wish I could find deals on 2.5 gallon kegs. I can get in service pin locks for $15. 🤔 I know some decent welders. Maybe I could modify some to be 2.5-3 gallons?

Doing beer math last night and I think I need a few more kegs if I continue on my brew schedule as is. Not a bad problem to have right? Good thing I have a cheap local source for pin locks :)
