    Amount Of CO2 Remaining After 17 Months

    Beer is dead flat after this amount of time. The residual would be as close to zero as an open beer in a glass after a week.... add to get to what you desire

    Not sure if I should start brewing again or not

    10 to 15 pounds of grain, $20 to $35 depending on type and total mass. $12 for yeast (liquid) or $6 for dry. $3 to $5 on hops. So roughly $30 at bear minimum, to right at $60 for a heavy with good liquid yeast. Plus propane, which I always needed at least a third of a 20 pounder, which...

    yeast amount for small batch beer

    Why waste money? Pitch a half or quarter package. It will be fine. Use remaining in a couple of months or so.... if it bubbles when. You rehydrate, it will ferment beer. If it just sits there, it is dead

    Lid exploded off the fermenter

    Has been stated earlier, just slightly place the lid on the bucket. Zero reason, unless you have a small child roaming that could get into the bucket to have it pushed down and sealed tight. The yeast is continually producing co2, and no contaminants issues. I brewed for more than decade in...

    Small heater to maintain cooler tun mash temps?

    I tested an ink bird wifi controller running a roughly 30 watt lizard pad heater wrapped around outside if my anvil fermenter. Filled with water, it maintained a mid 60f temp in a 50f basement for a few days. I haven't used it, fermenting upstairs as temp fit my recent brews. I just dont...

    Buying Beer As A Homebrewer

    Never buy beer again? What a sad thought. If I had to drink only what I brewed, I'd be very bored. I don't buy nearly as much, so yes some savings, but equipment and supply costs being what they are, most of us spend hundreds more than any lifetime beer savings. But I buy to try new styles and...

    Filling propane tanks

    It's been illegal since the feds decided that we needed to have an internal valve and external threads on the small tanks about 20 did years ago. The industry scrapped millions of 20 pound tanks and made cost go up 50%. The feds and industry arbitrarily make laws and rules to try and...

    5 kegs and 2 fermenters to clean.

    It's called shake-it-baby. Put the gallon in with lid on and shake it baby. Push out and into next one. Rinse the first and repeat.

    5 kegs and 2 fermenters to clean.

    Why would you need 5 gallons per? Make up a gallon, clean and if you want it hot, reheat. Or make up a gallon per keg. Ain't any reason to make up and waste even 5 gallons

    Mishaps you are embarrassed to admit...but can here, we're all friends.

    Oh, a few, last one was Sunday afternoon. Went out to mill my grain. I had 2-1 pound bags of flaked barley I was putting in without milling. Set them off to the side. They were still where I left them yesterday, 2 hours after I finished brewing the stout they belonged in. No wonder I'm a...

    ANVIL FOUNDRY ALL-GRAIN BREWING SYSTEM

    Yeah, 3% shouldn't heat anything. Id be surprised if it even sent power to the heater coil at less than 10% Just brewed today, and I drop to 75% to keep boil going after reaching 212. Temp in garage was 50to 55today

    ANVIL FOUNDRY ALL-GRAIN BREWING SYSTEM

    Anvil has no step programming all manual. But it might be confused if you changed temps a lot. I would unplug and leave off 10 or 15 minutes and then turn it back on. If it doesn't give you error, reads temp correctly, but then doesn't heat, it Is something gone bad. I wouldn't expect the...

    I Am NOT a Fan Of Star-San

    OH, I have used idophor for years, and while it works fine, and i actually trust it more, it does stain pretty easily....

    I Am NOT a Fan Of Star-San

    IT IS NOT A CLEANER. Don't make the simple mistake of trying to clean with a sanitizer. It won't hurt HDPE, PP, or PET. it comes in a HDPE container so stick with that (almost 100% of your buckets) and you'll be ok
