I usually wear non-latex gloves also when handling sanitized stuff. I dip my gloved hands in Starsan before handling stuff.

Here's the situation: Brewing the next two weekends, using the same yeast strain. I have 2 conicals, normally dump yeast/trub after first week, then just before kegging. I've never washed/reused yeast before (just been lazy I suppose). Should I just dump the trub/etc after the first week and...

+ 5 gal chocolate raspberry stout. = 2890.75

Kegging a vienna/northern brewer SMaSH, brewing SWMBO's favorite beer, a clone of a local brewpubs' chocolate raspberry stout.

Great Lakes Christmas.....Had two pints off the keg of my homebrewed Christmas beer earlier.

PM me your email, and I'll send you a presentation I did for a class once.

Local place quoted me $342 for 50ft of 1 1/2 inch, 11 ga. :eek: (and yes, that was for mild steel, not stainless)

In the planning stages of either a 1 or 2 tier rig. Going to learn to weld (always wanted to, just have an excuse now), but having a hard time finding steel tubing. Got a quote from a local steel supplier, and I can by a fully assembled stand from the Marcus on here for what they want for the...

+ 5 gal. spiced holiday 31483

Interesting...I have one of those and no leaks, no whistles. I wonder if they had prblems with some of them, and that's why they're hard to find? I've used mine with the same bottle for probably 5-6 batches.

+5 gal Brown Ale +5 gal Mint Chocolate stout 30942

I built and brew on a similar setup, sorry I don't have pics to share (I should do that some day!). I used "hardibacker" with galvanized steel on top under the burners to keep it from getting too hot. I also used the sheet metal on the vertical sections adjacent to the burners, and nothing...

Hmmm, I have one and have used it on about 5 batches so far. No pump so everything is gravity feed. I simply backflush with the garden hose until no more gunk comes out, then gravity feed Starsan through it. I store it filled with Starsan. On brew day, I dump it, flush it with fresh Starsan and...

+5 pumpkin ale brewed Friday 23772.5

I rarely test anymore, but you can use Iodophor, nothing special required.

I used the pumpkin because I've had pumpkin beers made without it, and I think it definitely adds to the character of the beer. At any rate, the interesting thing is that all the dumping and resetting seems to have helped my efficiency by about 5% (that was the only difference in my process from...

Interesting. Wonder what the difference is, especially since I used a full pound of rice hulls. I don't condition my malt. I get it milled at my LHBS.

Man, I was expecting a slow sparge, but holy crap! Brewing a scaled 5 gallon version of Yuri's Thunderstruck recipe and having nothing but issues. Recipe uses 60 oz of pumpkin, and I used 1 lb of rice hulls to try to avoid the stuck sparge problems people reported. Well, I've had to dump and...
