He said it all! You should check on internet the perfect temperatures for the kind of yeast you use and follow them. Always go a bit lower to leave a small range for the temperature rise while fermenting.

Just putting the carboy in the tub with cold water is enough to put down the temperature. If your yeast asks for a low temp, then you will need more equipment. But you need to think that the fermentation brings up more than 2-3 degrees.

You have a very good point, I did not think about the aroma. Problem is: how do I get it cold? I don't have space for a fridge only for beer. In the summer it is quite disappointing to drink it warm lol

Hey yall. I started brewing crap beer about 2 years ago and I now brew every week better beer everytime. I have all the basic equipment needed (mash tun, hot liquor tank, kettle, burner, heat sticks, fermenters, glass carboys, storage buckets, etc, etc). I love drinking beer in a bottle and I am...

Adding 2-3 pounds of flaked wheat would do the job?

An S airlock tends to clog faster.

I used honey a couple of times and I had good results pouring the amount of honey needed 5 minutes after I finished my boil. Basically when I start to cool it. The heat still in the mix does the job to sanitize, no boiling time to risk of losing the aromas. And you can still stir a lot to get...

In that case I would ask for a 10gal pot for my birthday!! Just kidding. I love doing all grain because I feel like I am doing the real thing compared to extract. ( I am not starting a debate on beer quality). Maybe changing your recipe for a mini-mash would be a great idea. Same process or very...

Mashing at 170F is way too high with 24oz of sour guinness. Maybe for a last sparge it would be fine though. I would do 2 sparge too. I added 1.5 oz of cocoa and 0.5lb of lactose in the last minute of the boil. Added 110g of dextrose for priming for a 5gal batch. This beer is amazing. Even...

No it is no specified, this is why I am so unsure. I thought all extra-light DME was made with 2-row AND carapils. Good to know that it wasnt true! Thanks for the help. So 7.5lbs 2-row, 0.5lb carapils and 2lbs wheat malt. Maybe more 2-row if I want it stronger ^^

Well, heating up water to 166F, put in mash tun, should come down to about 155 with grain. Let sit for 1h then sparge up to 6.5gal at 165 for 15-20 min.

I can't find an exact answer on this. I am looking to reproduce a recipe I found here. It calls for 3 pounds extra light DME and 3 pounds light wheat DME. To make it all grain, I was thinking of 7 lbs 2-row, 1lb carapils and 2 lbs wheat malt. Will it be close that way? Any suggestions?

Hey guys, what are the differences between a nitrogen tank and a co2 tank? Can I fill a co2 tank with nitrogen or the opposite? Also, are the regulators the same?

The carbonation in the bottle will slightly escape when you will open it. If you want to drink it at new years eve, you should add the missing 2/3 right now! I personally don't think the carbonation already in will escape all if you do it quick. Think about it, a beer that sits on the counter...

The yeast cake was open air (well, lid on) for a maximum of 15-20 minutes I would say. It smells weird but not like an infection. Just not the same smell as the beer. And the taste is not altered. I will try a 1L starter, we'll see how it goes. If it is infected, it should show on the starter I...

Hey guys, its my first try on attempting to wash yeast. First of all i want to say that my beer is not infected (still in secondary). All my tools were properly washed and sanitized. Well thats what I think! And I followed a guy on youtube step by step. It really looks weird with the small...

Hey guys, I have a propane burner, which is great for summer brewing. Thing is, I always have to brew in the winter inside the garage, leaving the door open, lots of wind, etc. Well, just some bad stuff. I am looking forward to buy an electric burner soon. I only have a 110V plug in my...

Like in dextrose, infections would not appear in such a dry place. But racking onto the lactose would not oxydize it. Thanks for your comments all.

If you find anything good, please share! I love jalapenos too. Subscribed.
