I probably will be drinking it soon. If i really like it ill go buy one. I know a place that has them and if they are the same age as the ipas they sell, itll already have aged some! Lol! stupid people selling ipas a year old. OMG! Anyway this is what i found on the beer... And similar to the...

A silver bullet? like a coors? Man i got a rochefort 10 from a guy on my route yesterday. He just started brewing and he got it in germany where its a lot cheaper. Ive been wanting to try it but didnt want to pay 10$ for it. Hes got all kinds of stuff from overseas since he works for the...

Nice! So does that mean more or less brewing?

This one smells so good! Im trying out my new “ferment chamber” haha. Seems to be working great so far

So i brewed a session ipa tonight and i had this idea after last brew session. I thought it was a good one. Turns out it wasnt. I brewed it all as normal but when i added my chiller. I also added my hop spider. I kept the hops outside the stainless spider. And i siphoned from inside the spider...

Ive heard of people freezing a salt water mix or “brine” and using that. Because of the salt it has a lower freezing point therefore it can be colder and still flow through a chiller

In the lexington/west columbia area

I usually order my stuff online. Im too busy and theres not a convenient local place. The closest one is like 30 min away. Go to alternative beverage and tell them to open a store near me! Lol

I believe thats the one ive heard of. Theres a guy here that likes to go up there when he needs to stock up. Wish i could do that! Lol

The water exiting the chiller will be untouchably hot at first. I collect this water separately for about 6 gallons or so if using ice water the wort should be down to about 150 ish. Once it gets to about 150-140 then i move that hose to the ice cooler for recirculation. I use about 40 lbs of...

I got a pump on amazon about 15$ to recirculate ice water for chilling. It can also be used for a carboy and keg washer pump. Also if your name tells where you are then north or south? Lol, if SC then check out our midlands area brewers thread

So im interested in making a carboy and keg washer. I know some of you have them. I already have some of the things to build it. So you can just make about 1-2 gallons of cleaning solution and spray it in the keg or carboy for 15 minutes and its clean? Also does yours have keg connectors on it...

Nice man! Thats a big beer. I wonder why they didnt have the same attenuation. Maybe the cold break had something to do with it? I read somewhere that it can actually help fermentation

That sucks man. Now you know how i feel about sours! Lol jk. I tried a key lime pie gose by westbrook on july 4th and i was like, “I think i could drink that” not that i would search for it and buy it but if someone gave me one Id hit it. Lol

Ok so i ordered some cryo hops from amazon the other day. I received them yesterday and i dry hopped a session ipa with them then i went to smell the pouch they came in and it smelled like its probably old. It didnt smell like hops at all really. Ive used these before and they smelled great...

And both sanitizers i think suggest letting them air dry. Do you do that?

I did the recommended 1 oz to 5 gal. Can you use it on anything? I like the fact that it can kill more. Another downside is the 1 min contact time. Where star san is a 30 sec contact time. Thats why im so appalled when people use spray bottles only. How do you cover everything for 30 sec - 1 min...

So i tried out some io star iodophor last night and soaked two glass carboys in it. I just got a new racking cane as well so i thought, Lets transfer with my old(partially cracked) cane. I felt like i had to be careful not to spill it to keep from staining anything. It stained the old vinyl...

Hmmmm. I think i might get some. I can just clean everything real good then use iodophor then rinse real good, and dry, then sanitize with new star san before use again. Better than using bleach or replacing everything probably

Ive never used the stuff. I do know it requires a rinse. But if i use it then rinse then star san. After a hefty cleaning from good ol pbw. That may just do the trick. I also need to calibrate my ph meter to test my star san. That may be the problem anyway. That star san is pretty old. I added...
